Bike Rack Recommendation for an RV Mercedes Sprinter Van
Question:
We just bought a 2013 2012-Mercedes Sprinter Cab Unity Motorhome. Know that some bike racks are not recommended for RVs so thought we should ask if this rack would be OK. It has a 2inch receiver. Also, our two bikes are very different sizes. My husband is 65inch and Im only 55inch so needs to be able to accommodate different sizes. Depending on where we are headed we carry either two Cross Bikes or two Mountain Bikes. Appreciate your input. Also, let us know of any other racks that we should consider. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Since you have a motorhome you will need to get an RV/motorhome approved bike rack like you mentioned.
A popular RV rated bike rack that we carry that I would recommend is the Swagman Platform Bike Rack part # S64663. The adjustable wheel hoops and hooks for the frame are adjustable so they should work well for your two bikes. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
