How to Tow a Camper and Carry Bike Rack on A-Frame of Trailer
Question:
I have a Class III, 3500 lbs, 350 tongue weight hitch on a Toyota Sienna. We tow a 2000# Aliner pop-up camper. Id like to carry our 2 bikes as well. If I use the D-192, will the extension from the hitch reduce the tongue weight capacity? The camper currently has a 300# tongue weight.

Expert Reply:
I have a great solution for you, but the part # D-192 would cut the capacity of your hitch in half so it wouldn't be an ideal solution.
Instead I would recommend the Bike Bunk part # CC-275 which will attach to the a-frame of your trailer and then give you a hitch opening for your bike rack. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
