Bike Rack Recommendation for a Motorhome Flat Towing a 2011 Ford Fusion
Question:
I have a 2001 36 Monico Knight motorhome. I would like to know if you can recommend a 2 or 4 bike rack that allows me to tow my 2011 Ford Fusion and carry 2 or 4 bikes all from my motorhomes 2 hitch receiver Reese. If so, please include all recommended accessories needed for a safe and stable system. Thanks

Expert Reply:
There are bike racks specifically rated for use behind a motorhome, and there are bike racks specifically designed to be used while towing (towing bike racks). However, none of the racks rated for use behind an RV are towing bike racks. But, what you can do is use a trunk mounted bike rack on the 2011 Ford Fusion.
For a 2 bike trunk mounted rack, I recommend the Yakima Fullback 2 # Y02634. This is a quality 2 bike rack with anti-sway cradles that will not brake the bank and it includes locks.
