Expert Answers about Ford RV and Camper Bike Racks


  • Option For Carrying 2 E-Bikes Using The Curt RV Bumper Hitch E-100
  • Hello Ron. You are correct that the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR is not recommended to be used on a hitch attached to a bumper. Even with the safety struts added, we still cannot recommend doing this. Using a bumper mounted hitch is definitely going to limit your options for a bike rack. Our best option for this is the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack # KU76ZR. This rack is rated for use on the back of a camper, and unlike the Transfer V2, the Piston Pro can be used with a bumper mounted hitch. This...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2014 Dodge Durango RT Towing Camper
  • Hey Roger, looking at your setup I have a solution but I don't think you'll have enough room between the camper and the Durango to successfully mount a bike rack so what your best option will be is a roof rack for the 2014 Dodge Durango RT like with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK299 so that you can use a roof bike rack like the Rhino Rack # RRRBC050.

  • Recommended Bike Rack Rated For RV Use With At least A 70lb Per Bike Capacity

This rack is rated for use on all vehicles, trailers, motorhome, etc. and has a 75lb per bike capacity. It has an adjustable base so that you can place the bikes further out if you need more space for a cargo carrier or spare tire and comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin to prevent any movement of the rack in the trailer hitch. I've attached a short video below where...

  • Is There a Bike Rack For Front Hitch on Truck
  • Hey David, The call on the Hollywood Racks Destination E-Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY66ZR not being approved for use on a front mount hitch is entirely the manufacturer's due to the increased instability at the front of the vehicle. You can do it, but the warranty will be voided, so just take note. The option we have that will work that is the closest to the Destination in that it is a platform rack that can carry heavy ebikes and also grasps the bikes by their frames is the Yakima...

  • Recommended Ball Mount to Be Able to Tow a Trailer and Haul a Bike Rack for Two Heavy E-Bikes

  • Recommended Single-Bike Rack With A 2" Shank For A 55lb E-Bike
  • Hi Tom, For a single-bike rack with a true 2" shank I recommend the Kuat Piston SR Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU88ZR. This bike rack is rated for use on all vehicles, 5th wheels, motorhomes, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles so you'll be able to transfer it over to whatever you want. When on a vehicle it has a 100lb capacity and when on an RV the weight capacity will dip down to 67lbs to accommodate for the harsher ride quality an RV would place on the rack. The shank base of this...

  • 2 Bike Rack that Can be Used at Rear of Motorhome
  • Hey Scott, we don't have any hitch mounted kayak carrier solutions so the best option would probably be to go with just a two bike rack that is motorhome approved like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR2000Z.

That said, I recommend that you always remove the batteries from your...

  • What Hitch Will Work on Travel Trailer For Bike Rack
  • Hey Garth, We do have a hitch you can bolt onto your Lance travel trailer, and what you can use is the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13704. This will just bolt right onto the frame and give you a 2 inch hitch for a bike rack like the Swagman Nomad # S36FR.

  • Solution For Carrying 2 E-Bikes Weighing 52LBS Each Behind a 2024 Sunset Trailer Travel Trailer
  • I do have a recommendation for you Martin which will not involve an Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 like you found. It does appear your 2024 Sunset Trail travel trailer is going to have the 4" rear bumper which we have the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts # MO34VR which help to increase the bumper capacity since it will bolt into the structure rather than simply relying on the welds for strength. Then you would be able to use a bolt on Receiver # E-100 in combination with the Swagman...

  • Fishing Rod Carrier Fitment for an RV Ladder
  • Hey Jeremy, thanks for reaching out! I have a potential creative solution for you, but we unfortunately don't have any fishing rod carriers that mount on an RV ladder. With that being said, the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier # SEA46ZR can be mounted vertically on the body of an RV as long as it isn't a "warp" that it vacuum cup mounts to. Then you'll just need to make sure you have the reel mounted at the top just to ensure that the rod and reel don't work their way down and out...
