Specs:
The Yakima LongHaul is built to withstand the added vibration and stress that comes from being installed on the back of your RV. The base has no moving parts, and the mast attaches to the shank with steel-reinforced brackets. These overbuilt components ensure that the rack can take any punishment that the road may inflict.
Dual Folding Arms with Anti-Sway Cradles
The LongHaul has dual arms that provide excellent support for your bikes. They slope up to provide ground clearance for steep driveways and bumpy roads.
To fold the arms down, pull up the lever at the top of the mast. This leaves a smaller footprint, so it doesn't take up as much space at the campground or when parking in a tight spot.
Each set of anti-sway cradles have two ZipStrips that secure your bike along the top tube and one that secures the seat post or downtube. This multi-point contact helps keep your bikes from rocking back and forth, reducing bike-to-bike contact.
Because the ZipStrips are removable, the RidgeBack is easier to load than racks that have integrated straps that get in your way when you slide your bikes over the arms. To load your bikes, press the quick-release levers on the sides of each cradle and remove the ZipStrips, slide your bikes onto the rack, and re-insert the strips, pressing them firmly against each bike's frame. To remove your bikes, simply remove the ZipStrips.
Threaded Hitch Pin and Complete Security
A threaded hitch pin is included to help eliminate rattle in the hitch receiver during transport. To tighten the pin in your hitch, use a 15/16" wrench (not included). The hitch pin includes a lock to secure the rack to your vehicle's hitch.
An integrated cable lock threads around your bikes' frames and inserts into the lock at the end of the left arm. The cable stores inside the mast when not in use. The locks are keyed alike, so you only need to use 1 key. Additional SKS cylinders (sold separately) let you make all your Yakima products keyed alike.
If you have a women's bike, kid's bike, or any other bike without a straight, horizontal top tube, you will need an adapter bar (sold separately) to properly mount your bike. The bar fits between the seat post and handlebar stem post of your bike to create a top tube so your bike hangs level on the rack.

This 4-bike rack is perfect for a family who travels. Heavy-duty frame handles the extra bounce and sway that results from being mounted on the back of your RV. Removable ZipStrips let you easily load bikes without bulky straps getting in your way.Received an OPENED box missing key parts. Awaiting parts from etrailer. Box was very rough, clearly taped closed after being opened and internal bag parts had been ripped open and taped back together. Disappointed.
A very well designed and sturdy bike rack. Should hold up well for travel trailer use. Especially like the triple strapping system for each bike and hitch locking pin plus pull-out locking cable for the bikes. Same key fits each lock. Assembly is simple.
Although I have not yet had the opportunity to use the bike rack, I have very closely inspected the rack and it appears to well built and will serve its purpose well. It took over one year from the date of the order until it was delivered. This was due to global supply chain shortages and beyond the control of e-trailer. The good part in all of this is that original price quote was honored.
Fast shipping as always. Product is heavy and well built: Exactly what I was looking for. I have four heavy steel bikes and lots of miles ahead of us. I didn’t want a flimsy poorly built product. Bonus: both ends of the fork have bottle openers.... [thumbs up]
I will try to remember to write another review after a few trips.
Yakima LongHaul has a solid build. Be aware that it may not fit your current bikes especially if it has cargo rack or is folding bike. I have to purchase two new bikes to fit on this rack along with my son's bike. Yakima LongHaul comes with two straps to hold the front wheels so they don't contact with adjacent bikes. I have to use one strap to hold the front wheels for two of my bikes. But Yakima should really provide four straps, one for each bike. It may take some time to arrange your bikes for the first few times to find the best spots to avoid contact. So far this bike rack serves me well on my SUV. I"m going to take a long trip with my fifth wheel soon. And I'll update this review later after the trip is done.
For normal bikes behind a 38 ft. Fifth wheel this is unbeatable with anything rated as such in the market. However it cant handle normal weight of a Day 6 bike so I have to remove seat and wheels. In so doing it would be better if the design allowed the pads to rotate on the bar because the angle caused quick pad wear. I would like the set up to be able to handle at least 1 55 lb bike on an RV. The zip tie down are absolutely a great idea. We have travelled many miles in the midwest and have had no issues.
Ed K - 06/13/2020Very well built. Says I need a bar between my seat and handlebars to make it ride straight.
I am very happy with this bike rack because it is solidly built and easy to use. The service and care at etrailer has also been top notch.
Doug D - 07/14/2020The only problem with this unit is that it is very hard to fit the A frame mountain bike on the rack.
Heather A - 04/26/2018Heavy duty and sturdy. Easy to fold and securing the bikes is simple. I use this on the back of a 40 ft fifth wheel with 4 steel framed bicycles. There is a lot of thrash back there when I’m on the road and this bike rack handles it.
The rack has great features and easy to use. I just wish the 2 arms were just a bit closer together. Many newer bikes have a top bar that curves down toward the seat post. This is the case with my new mountain bike. I had to purchase a bar that goes on the bike so I could fit it onto the rack. My sister has a similar (not sure what brand) but the 2 arms on the rack are just slightly closer together and she did need to buy the extra mounting bar for her bike(same bike as mine.) Otherwise just love the rack!
I'm going to use it for long trips both on the back of a camper and an SUV. The joint between the upright post and the hitch insert appears to be very strong. I preferred this over the tilt style for the additional strength. Arms fold up/down easily. Frame mounts are soft and straps are easy to use. It's tall, the bikes ride high especially on back of the camper....very unlikely that they would drag the road in any steep hill or deep dip situations. Mine arrived without the hardware bag but etrailer customer service was great and sent a bag free of charge that arrived a couple days later.
Received the bike rack yesterday. The packaging was very stout and even though the box was damaged in transit, there was no damage whatsoever to the bike rack. Assembly is very easy and took less than 10 minutes. I'm using this in the hitch (2") on the back of my Glacier Peak 5th wheel. The hitch is very sturdy, built well, powder coating (gray) looks good and came with a cable lock to lock the bikes to the rack and a hitch lock to lock the rack in the hitch. Locks are keyed alike.
Haven’t taken it out on our first trip yet but am already impressed with the sturdiness of the product. I feel confident that this will work week for carrying our bikes behind our trailer in a secured fashion.
The product was shipped fast and delivered before expected. The checkout process was seamless. Most importantly, the tutorial videos created for each product allowed me understand each product and how they differed and ultimately choose the best product for my needs. The detail in the videos makes it unnecessary to physically go to a store to get "hands on" the products. I've bought several products from eTrailer and will continue to do so.
Very easy assembly. Built in and included locks add to the value of this rack that's already well worth the price.
Well built and high quality. When each of your bikes cost well into the thousands of dollars you don't want a cheap setup on the back of your RV.
I’m very happy with the service from etrailer.com. I’ll order from them again
Great product, work great carrying my 4 bikes on my fifthwheel.
AWESOME rack! Customer service was very helpful and informative. This is the second time I have ordered from them and would recommend them for all your trailering needs.
Great product. Very sturdy. Excellent customer service, very fast delivery. Will definitely buy from etrailer again
Very sturdy, well made, good materials used and nice fit to the hitch. The fold down arms are a definite plus.
Just received it. Packaged very well and easy to put together. Seems real sturdy.
