Why is There Fifth Wheel Trailer Length Minimum with Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack
Question:
I see in the documentation you have for this rack… copied and pasted below… number 2 says the rv must be 24’ in length…. I do not know of any 5th wheel rv made that is 24’ and only two shorter than that but they are under the gvwr limit in #3. This tells me that it won’t work on my 42’ 5th wheel rv. I believe this may be a type-o. Can you verify? 5TH WHEEL REQUIREMENTS: 1. TRAILER HITCH MUST HAVE A MIN. 350 LBS TONGUE WEIGHT CAPACITY MIN. CLASS 3 2. DOUBLE AXLE AND 24’ IN LENGTH BOX LENGTH 3. MINIMUM GVW IS 5000 LBS Please see Page 12 back page before installation NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH TRAVEL TRAILERS

Expert Reply:
The 24 foot length mentioned in the description for the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR is the minimum length the trailer must be. So yours being over that length at 42 would work just fine. The shorter fifth wheels are actually bumpier down the road which transfers more shock to the rack.
