    Receiver Hitch Adaptor Used With a Mount & Lock SafetyStruts Kit On An Imagine MKE17

    On my Imagine MKE17, if I was to install the Mount & Lock SafetyStruts Kit - https://mount-n-lock.com/product/saf...-hd-universal/ - would that enable me to use a 2-inch receiver hitch adaptor to use a bike rack to carry two bikes? Or is the 4-inch bumper just too thin to support any weight?

    You'll find a few folks who say they've gotten by with reinforcing the bumper and and using a bolt-on reciever for bike racks. Most will advise against it. The best approach is still to have a receiver bolted or welded to the frame. The G-forces at the back of the trailer are a lot for that thin bumper to deal with. There are also bike racks that mount over the LP tanks on the tongue for travel trailers.
