Recommended Motor Home 2-Bike Rack for Use on Tioga Fleetwood Motor Home
Question:
Will the PS63134 bike rack work on my 26foot Class C Motor home with a spare tire carrier mounted on the drivers side and a ladder on the passenger side. It is an 88 Tioga Fleetwood MH. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
As long as your Tioga Fleetwood motor home has a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch trailer hitch installed at its rear then the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64650 will fit the hitch.
In terms of the rack fitting with the spare tire carrier and ladder at the rear of the MH, you can take a measurement to check compatibility. Please refer to the linked article. Measure from the hitch pin hole to the rear most part of the MH, which may be either the tire carrier or the ladder; or it could even be the bumper. Compare this measurement to the clearance offered by the bike carrier - 7-1/2-inches - to see if it will clear those items and still provide enough room for your bikes. Chances are that the fit may be a bit tight.
If you find that you need a bike rack with more clearance from the hitch pin hole then you may need different carrier such as the Curt # C18085 which provides 12-inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole.
We also offer ladder-mount bike racks like the # SP501BR from Surco and the # LA-102 from Stromberg Carlson. These and other motor home racks are viewable by clicking on the included link and the included article will help you consider the best match for your particular bikes.
