Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of RV
Question:
I have a 2014 jacyco 5th wheeler with a picture window in the back. Looking for a bike rack to carry 2 or 4 bikes. Im worried about the bikes hitting and breaking the window. I have a 2inch hitch in the back. Could you recommend a good rack for me? I dont want to worry about hitting a bump or something and breaking the window.

Platform bike racks are the style of bike rack that holds the bikes in the tightest possible way which prevents any and all movement. The hanging bike racks can have a tendency to let the bikes sway and/or allow the front wheel to turn. But platform racks prevent all of that.
The Swagman Dispatch bike rack part # S44FR is a great platform bike rack that is confirmed as a fit for the rougher ride quality at the rear of RVs.
