Old Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with RV Hitch Receiver on Travel Trailer
Question:
Im looking at the Curt RV Bumper 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # E-100 to put on my 17 Casita trailer. Ive got an older Thule 2-bike carrier. It folds up and down, but does not tilt away like the newer versions. Can this type of hitch receiver and hitch-mount bike carrier combination work?

Expert Reply:
The Curt # E-100 RV Receiver is a great option that will fit with your Casita travel trailer. The Thule bike carrier is not rated for travel trailer use as none of theirs are due to the significant movement on the back of a travel trailer.
My recommendation is to use the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack - 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # Y02476 which is rated for travel trailer use. I've linked a video and have also linked the page to all the travel trailer rated bike racks we carry.
