Best RV Bike Rack With 100 Lb. Weight Limitation

Question:

Hi, Im looking to buy a bike rack for mounting on the front of our RV above the propane tanks. I was thinking of purchasing the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer Mounted Bike Carrier CC-275 and a Swagman dual bike carrier. Can you explain the differences between the Swagman S64650, 64670 and 64684 models to help me to decide what to order.

The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk part # CC-275 will need to have one of three specific points on the a-frame free in order for it to work. The measurements will need to be taken from the outside edge on each frame rail. As long as you have space at the 12" wide apart, 32" wide apart, or the 52" wide apart positions on the a-frame the bike bunk will work well for you. I have attached a photo to better illustrate the above measurements.

I would be more than happy to provide a comparison of the Swagman bike carriers, though only the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack part # S44FR is rated for use with RV's. The Swagman Dispatch weighs roughly 51 lbs therefore, the two bikes you choose to mount to this rack will need to have a combined weight of 43 lbs or under.
