Bike Rack Recommendation to Carry Verve 2 Trek Bike at Rear of 5th Wheel
Question:
I am considering a Swagman G10 rack for the back of a 5th wheel RV. Two questions, will this rack accommodate a Trek Verve 2, the bike is a womans style with the middle bar about 20 inches off the ground. Does the adjustable hook go low enough to hold this low stepfoot bike in place? Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
Due to the pretty sharp top tube angle of the Trek Verve bike rack you have I would not recommend the Swagman G10 part as a first choice unless you were willing to also use a frame adapter bar part # UB01 as well.
Instead I'd recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR as it has a pivoting claw style of frame tube which will secure to the bike frame much better and would not require use of frame adapter. Check out the review video I attached for this rack as well.
