Can I Use the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR with My Rear Slide Out on a 2017 Tiffin 24QW Motorhome?
Question:
We are looking at the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE for 2 ebikes, Ride1Up 700 Step Thru has fenders and Ride 1Up Prodigy. We have a 2017 Tiffin 24QW with a rear slide. Will the tilt allow for the rear slide to be out while the bikes are on the rack? We need a rack that will allow us to use the bed in the rear slide without taking off the bikes.

In order to determine whether the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR can allow your slide out to expand over your bikes, we need to factor in the height of your bikes since the bikes are taller than the rack. According to my available specs on your bikes, the handlebar height of the Ride1Up 700 Series step-thru is 40 inches tall while the Ride1Up Prodigy stands at 42 inches tall. Another additional spec we need is how high the bikes sit on the rack itself. Measured from the center of the hitch pinhole, the cradles sit at 6-1/2 above the hitch. I went ahead and attached a blueprint of the # HLY84FR for your convenience.
With all of these factors, you need to make sure that the bottom of your Tiffin's slide-out is at least 48-1/2 inches tall from the center of your hitch's pinhole. This is the only way to confirm whether the # HLY84FR will allow you to mount the bikes while using the slide. I recommend making this measurement before pulling the trigger on the purchase.
Also, if you find that you have enough space, you need a bike frame adapter bar # 64005 for your step thru frame on the 700 model. This adapter provides you the straight, horizontal plane that is required in order to mount the ratcheting hooks of the Sport Rider SE to the bike. I went ahead and provided a demo video of this bar for you.
