Expert Answers about RV and Camper Bike Racks


  • Gazelle C380 E-Bike Compatibility With Kuat Bike Racks
  • The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is my favorite bike rack for styling and simplicity of use. Best of all it can be used with your Gazelle C380 e-bike even with you having the rear fender that nearly covers the entire rear tire. The Fender Straps for Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU43VR allow you to secure the bike safely in the rack. The Loading Ramp # KU63VR will make loading your heavy bike much easier.

  • How Can I Install My E-Bike W/ Fenders On My Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack?
  • To secure your e-bikes to your Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # KU98VR you will just need to wrap the strap # KU43VR around your bikes rear tire, securing it to the ratcheting arm and rack base. Attached are a couple of videos for you to check out.

  • Do I Need a Bike Frame Adapter Bar when Using the RV Rider with Step-Thru Electric Bikes?
  • I have a great solution for you. Even though the independently-adjusting cradles on the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR eliminate the need of a bike frame adapter bar, the OnRamp is not safe to use on the back of a flat-towed vehicle. I I confirmed with the engineers at Yakima that the OnRamp cannot withstand the extra torque/forces exerted on the rack during transport on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler. Even if the OnRamp was approved, the 5-inch distance between the center of the pinhole and the closest...

  • Difference Between Hollywood Racks HLY74FR and HLY84FR Sport Rider SE Bike Racks
  • The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE would be a good choice. The only difference between the # HLY74FR and # HLY84FR bike racks is the hitch receiver size the rack is compatible with. The # HLY74FR will work with 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitches, while the # HLY84FR is only compatible with 2 inch hitches only. Either rack would work great for you, but the # HLY74FR would offer you some flexibility of you'll be using the rack on more than one vehicle. Because the RadRunner has a step through frame,...

  • How to Determine If Swagman RV 2-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack is Right For Your Application
  • Many RV bumper manufacturers construct their product with a plastic cap or a hinged door instead of endcap, allowing bumper to be used for storage; apparently you have this type. Open that end piece to examine if the seam has spot welds (short welds at a number of separate points) or one continuous weld running the full length of the bumper; take note of the thickness of the metal while doing so. Some bumpers, frequently identified as heavy duty, will not have a weld seam at all but are...

  • Will Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack Clear Bumper on 2022 Tesla Model Y
  • The Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack # KU98VR is an excellent selection and will work great with your 2022 Tesla Model Y both in the folded up and flat positions, but I'll go ahead and give you the dimensional numbers so you can verify on your end and have some peace of mind prior to purchasing. When we installed the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT58MR on a 2022 Model Y we found that this measured 5" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of the bumper....

  • Will the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack Work With Two Step-Through Frame Bikes
  • The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack part # S94FR can usually accommodate one step-through frame bike without needing an adapter by switching the small and long hook around but for two step-through frame bikes I do recommend as least one adapter, the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # S57FR.

It has slightly larger dimensions than the HR1500 with the distance from center of hitch pin hole on standard shank to: Closest part of rack when folded down: 12" Closest part of rack when folded up: 7-1/2" Farthest part of rack when folded down: 32" Farthest part of rack when folded up: 18-1/4" The...

  • Can Saris Door County Bike Rack Be Used At Back of Motorhome
  • The Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR is a really unique option but it is only rated for use on passenger vehicles as it can't handle the extra movement found at the back of motorhomes and towable trailers so we need to look for a different bike rack solution. For your application I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR instead. This is designed for heavier e-bikes and has been rated for use on a motorhome as well. It doesn't have the whole "elevator"...

  • Comparing the Two Best E-Bike Racks from Thule and Yakima
  • For heavier e-bikes like yours there are two frontrunners for bike racks to consider with the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 and the Yakima OnRamp part # Y36FR. What sets these apart from others is they both have ramps to make loading and unloading bikes easier since e-bikes are heavy. The EasyFold folds down into a smaller size when not in use which helps for garage storage but the OnRamp is 6 lbs lighter at 39 lbs compared to 45. That's how I'd pick if I were you. Which would you...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Clear My Spare Tire on My Jeep Wrangler?
  • Yes! Our part number # HLY64FR is the same as the Hollywood Racks part number HR1700. These both correspond to the Hollywood Racks RV Rider. As far as clearing your spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler, there is a definite way to tell if you have enough clearance with the rack installed on your hitch (if you have a hitch receiver). Since the shank of the RV Rider measures 7-1/2" from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack, you have the ability to make a measurement...

  • Can I Remove 1 of the Platforms on the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 to Carry Only 2 Bikes
  • I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 # HR4000 is only able to be used as a 4 bike rack. This is a great choice for an economically priced 4 bike platform rack, and I really like that you won't need bike adapter bars to carry a wide variety of bikes, but it's not going to give you that 2+2 functionality. For a platform rack that can be converted between a 2 bike carrier and 4 bike carrier, I recommend going with the Swagman Quad 2+2 # S64FR. This rack can be...

  • Comparing Thule Camber, Range, Yakima Fulltilt, and Ridgeback Bike Racks
  • Yes the cradles of the Yakima Ridgeback part # Y02458 can be rotated as well as adjusted in and out on the arms to allow for different spacings. So the big difference between this rack and the FullTilt part # Y02462 is that the Fulltilt does not use traditional frame cradles and instead has straps that attach to bottom of arms that hold the frame to the padded arms directly. The Fulltilt would have the nicer cradle setup based on this so it would be what I would recommend. The Thule...

  • Can The Yakima OnRamp Be Used On Travel Trailer For Hauling 2 Electric Bikes?
  • The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y36FR would be an excellent carrier for 2 electric bikes. The weight capacity is 66lbs per bike (or 40lbs per bike on trailer or RV) and it attaches to the bike frame, making it compatible with bikes that have fenders and/or baskets. Luckily, this carrier is compatible with travel trailers so you will be able to use it on both your truck and trailer, just as long as they each have a 2" receiver. The Lets Go Aero V-Lectric...

  • Can the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack Be Used with Step Through Bikes
  • We have a solution for you either way but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may or may not work with your particular step through bikes. There are different styles of step through bikes and depending on how low the step through is, the ratcheting arm on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR may go down low enough to secure the bike or it may be a little short. However, if the ratcheting arm does not go down low enough on your particular bike we do...

  • What Bike Rack and Hitch do You Recommend for 2 E-Bikes on My 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  • Thanks so much for attaching a photo to your question. I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, with your spare tire, you will need a lot of shank length in order to clear your tire. If you have a hitch installed with standard-sized spare tire, you will need additional shank length from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the bike rack on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. With that length, the only way to get the proper measurement with any rack with the weight...

This then allows you to have the bikes offset or directly above your trailer A-Frame jack depending on your application.

  • What Are the Differences Between the Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Bike Racks
  • There are some subtle difference between the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU76ZR and the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU98VR. Overall the two racks are very similar, there are just some subtle differences/upgrades on the Piston Pro X. Both racks feature ratcheting arms with hydro-pneumatic pistons, cradle-less wheel trays, spring-loaded foot and hand pedal that lets you tilt and fold the rack with ease, easy installation with the flatlock cam system and keyed-a-like...

  • Why Can't I Use the Hollywood Racks # HLY64FR on My Travel Trailer?
  • The reason why the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY64FR is not recommended to use on a travel trailer is because it is not designed to withstand the additional force that is exerted on the rack with that application. Not only is the length of travel trailers generally extend longer when attached than fifth-wheels, the attachment style of how the trailers are coupled has to do with the amount of force exerted on the hitch/bike rack as well.

  • Hitch Extender Recommendation to Fit Yakima OnRamp On RV
  • Thank you for reaching out and providing all of the details! I have a solution for you to extend the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR further out from your Arctic Fox 5th wheel RV but I think it's at least worth noting 2 things; the weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be cut in half when using the extension (like you said) and that the OnRamp isn't rated for use at the back of a 5th wheel as Yakima states there is too much movement so the rack can't handle...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Work with RadCity 5 Plus Step-Thru e-Bike
  • You can use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR for your RadCity 5 Plus bike but you'll also need an adapter bar like part # HRBA-PRO so the ratcheting arm has something to make contact with to secure your bike. Since the step-thru feature on your bike is pretty significant this is the case for any other rack in this style. An exception to this would be the Hollywood Racks Destination E Bike Rack # HLY66ZR which has adjustable arm clamps that you should be able to...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk

The bike rack needs to be travel trailer rated, fit a 2" hitch and the combined weight of the bike rack and your bikes needs to be less than 100 lbs. Given these parameters I recommend the Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. This 2 bike rack is the lightest weight of the racks that are rated...

  • What Hitch Bike Do You Recommend To Carry E-bikes On The Rear Of A 5th Wheel
  • We do have hitch bike racks that will work on the rear of your 5th wheel. My recommendation is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # HLY64FR. This rack is rated to carry e-bikes on 5th wheels. It can carry bikes with tires up to 5" in width and 80 lbs. I would double check your owner's manual to check the maximum weight limit is based on the 5th wheel or the trailer hitch. If the weight of the new hitch bike rack and the e-bikes...

  • Does The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack Come With Locking Hitch Pin?
  • The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # KU84FR comes with a tamper-resistant bolt that tightens the carrier to a 2" receiver and you need to use the included security wrench to remove or install. So it technically does come with some sort of a locking device, but for more security to deter theft you can add Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks - 2" Hitches # HL2. This will do a better job of actually locking the bike rack to the hitch receiver. Make sure you...

  • Can Larger ZipStrips be Used for Yakima FullSwing Bike Rack
  • If your Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 was manufactured from 2016 to 2019 then you have the ZipStrip Straps 8880566 and you can upgrade to the ZipStrip Straps # Y55XR which has 5 more teeth than the straps that came on the previous units so it'll be about 5/8" longer (see attached photo). If this is the same size that you currently have then you'll need to go with an Adapter Bar # Y02531 instead. This gives you a standard-sized top tube that will fit with your current ZipStrips.

  • Best Way to Carry E-Bikes on Travel Trailer with 4" Bumper

Since this is the case I recommend going with a different setup. For your application I recommend installing the etrailer RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38HR and then using the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR and swapping out the standard trays to the...

Both racks have very similar features as far as tilting/folding ease of use, the handy SpeedKnob that locks and acts as a tool-free anti-rattle device, and the Zip Strips that secure the bikes. The FullTilt pulls away from the RidgeBack by having an integrated lock for the bikes (that's an add-on for the...

The RV Rider will be able to accommodate fat tires up to 5 inches wide and has a maximum per-bike weight capacity of 80 pounds. Also, the RV rider comes with a long shank (7-1/2 inches from the center pinhole to the closest part of the rack) so bumper clearance should not be an issue on your 2019 GMC Yukon Denali.

It works with 20" diameter tires as long as you have the adapter # HLY24FR for each bike. This adapter does not come with the rack itself.

This is because Swagman wanted both of these racks to be approved for use when attached to the back of motorhomes/RVs.

  • Hitch Mount Bike Rack to Carry Heavy Himiway e-Bike with Jeep
  • For your application the only bike rack options that will work are the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR because it has a weight rating of 70 lbs per bike, or the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR because it has a weight rating of 80 lbs per bike. The battery on your Himiway e-Bike should weigh in at about 9 lbs so when you remove it you'll be under the weight capacity of either bike rack. I personally like the RV Rider a little better but you can choose which one you'd like depending on the style. The...

  • Why Are the Cradles on My Swagman E-Spec # S94FR Coming Loose During Transport?
  • One of the things to consider about the tightening knobs on your E-Spec # S94FR is whether the cradle knobs are actually tightening when you turn the knobs to the max. There should be no looseness in the knob and you should be able to press either left or right on the cradles without any movement. If there is any looseness in the knob itself, this is a sign that the knob/bolt may be stripped or the shim needs replaced. We do sell the knob/bolt and shim as part # P197. Since this part...

  • Hitch Lock for Curt Bike Rack
  • There is one threaded hitch lock that we know will work with the Curt 2-Bike Rack # C18085, assuming that is the one that you have. There isn't just a hitch pin available so you would have to go with the threaded lock, and so long as you do have the aforementioned rack, the lock we know works is the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for SportRack Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # SR0901. Numerous customers have used this lock with their Curt rack, and I have added a cut out of one of the reviews...

  • Do I Need a Hitch Extender with the Kuat Transfer V2 on My 2021 Jeep Wrangler with Spare Tire?
  • There is definitely a way to find out! Since the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR has a 6-1/2" length from the center of the shank's pinhole to the closest part of the rack, I recommend making a measurement on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler. You need to measure the center of the hitch's pinhole to the outside surface of your spare tire. If that length is less than 6-1/2", you do not need a hitch extender. I went ahead and attached a photo that shows how to do this measurement. If you find that you...

  • Need Bike Rack for 2 eBikes to Use on Travel Trailer
  • For a bike rack that is rated for travel trailers and with a weight rating for heavier ebikes, I suggest the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes, # Y36FR.

Please verify, but you should be fine with the weight if you remove your battery pack when carrying the ebikes on the bike rack....

  • Can You Use a Hitch Extender on the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR?
  • Yes, you can use a 2-inch hitch extender when using the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR. The shortest 2-inch extender we carry is the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 7" # HE06. Added with the shank length of the E-Spec, it will give you a total length of 17-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the closest part of the rack (when folded up). It is important to note that using a hitch extender will reduce the maximum weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%.

  • Do I Need to Use a Bike Frame Adapter Bar for a Womens Bike when Using the Swagman Current?

  • Does the Thule Hitching Post Pro or the Thule Camber have Shorter Arms
  • The Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack # TH9056 is going to have longer arms than the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. The reason why the Thule Cambers arms are a bit longer is because the spacing between the cradles is larger. The benefit of having more space between the cradles is that you will have more room between each bike. This will lessen the chance for bike to bike contact when traveling down the road.
