Expert Answers about Coachmen Hitch Bike Racks


  • Bike Rack & Hitch For E-Pro Travel Trailer
  • Hi Teri, We can get you a bike rack for your E-Pro travel trailer, but first you'll need a hitch (assuming one is not already on the camper). For that you'll need the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This can be welded or bolted onto your trailer and gives you a 2" hitch for a rack. The rack does need to be travel-trailer approved, and for that use the Swagman Nomad Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S36FR. What I like about the Nomad is it's 8" rise so...

  • Will The Kuat Transfer 4 KU77FR Touch The Ground When Tilted On A 2023 Hyundai Tucson
  • Hello Michelle. To answer your first question, the Kuat Transfer 4 # KU77FR should not touch the ground when tilted on a 2023 Hyundai Tucson with the Curt Class 3 Hitch # C94WR, but it will be very close. We tested this bike rack on a 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon, which has a very similar hitch height to the 2023 Tucson. The Subaru hitch is 15.5" from the ground and the Tucson hitch is at 15" so very similar. With the Kuat rack on the Subaru with the 15.5" hitch height the rack did not touch...

  • Will EcoHitch for 2024 Toyota Sienna Work Well with Kuat NV BIke Rack
  • Hey Gary we don't have any pictures of the EcoHitch part # EH22SR installed on a 2024 Toyota Sienna but it would be the best option if you were worried about ground clearance and appearance as only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. While your vehicle does have low ground clearance it would work great with the Kuat NV 2.0 part # NV22G.

  • Will Kuat Transfer Interfere With Blind Spot Monitoring on 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300
  • The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR will likely interfere with the blind spot monitoring on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC300. The same is true for any hitch mounted bike rack. The sensors are located behind the rear bumper so they will probably pick up the bikes on and off while driving making the system unreliable. There really isn't a way around it unless you want to add a roof rack and use a bike rack like the Thule UpRide # TH599000.

  • Will The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147 Impair View on Backup Camera for 2024 Bronco?
  • With the Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack # MPG2147 you should still be able to see behind you backing up with the rack empty. Once you add bikes to the rack this will most likely cause you to have issues depending on your exact bikes you carry. You may still be able to see some of the road since the camera does angle down.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Kia Telluride Using a Exo Swing Away Storage System
  • No, problem Tim! Happy to help! Regardless of what hitch you go with you're going to be limited by your Telluride's tongue weight capacity, which is the downward pressure put on the hitch. I looked yours up and a 2023 Kia Telluride tops out at 500 lbs. It is common amongst hitch manufacturer's to overrate their hitches. You will want to go off of the lowest components ability which in this case is your Kia. The Draw-Tite item # DT32RR sits slightly higher at 14-1/2" over the Stealth Hitch...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Box for a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness
  • Yes, it will! The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH629806 will have no issue mounting to square crossbars like the Malone item # MPG201. The only concern would be the rear hatch opening. You need to have the front crossbar 51-1/4" from the line where the roof and hatch meet for it to open fully. If you're just using the crossbars for a cargo box, I recommend going with the shortest ones available for your Outback which would be the 50" item # MPG201. If you are wanting to throw...

  • Concerns With Exhaust Heat On Yakima BackSwing Hitch Extender
  • I understand your concern Bob. I would start by getting the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 on your 2022 Ram 1500. This will allow you to see if the plastic is close enough to the exhaust to cause an issue. If so you could easily modify a portion of Heat Shield # A80807 to protect the plastic and divert the heat away.
