Expert Answers about Bike Storage
- Using Two Figo # GU12000 Bike Storage Racks for Bike with Oversize Top Tube
- I've spoken with my contact at GearUp, the manufacturer of the # GU12000 bike storage rack. I was told that because the bike will just be hanging from the rack, but won't be receiving any jarring or shocks, you won't need two of the racks (if using two of them would make you feel more secure, by all means, do so.)
A less expensive alternative than purchasing two of the racks would be to use a bike frame adapter bar, like part # 64005. Attach one end to the seat post, the other to the handlebar...

- While there is a way to carry bikes while flat towing, the Lippert Components Flip Down Slotted Bike Rack Tailgate Storage System # LC243621 won't work as it will interfere with the hitch. So what you would need instead is a simple dual-hitch adapter designed for this very thing; one of the receivers is for flat towing while the other is for carrying a bike rack. You can choose from the rise or drop you need as well:
- 2-1/4" Rise/Drop: Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2

- Most RV bumpers have a plastic plug on each end, so the interior of the bumper can be used for storage. You should be able to remove the plug and look inside the bumper to see how the seam is welded, one continuous weld or a series of spot welds. A continuously welded bumper is stronger, and would be suitable for a bike rack like the Swagman # S80501.
As long as the bumper is steel and continuously welded, the weight of the rack and that of the bikes carried on it should not have any ill...

- The Curt Hitch that is designed to fit your Highlander is part # 13534. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening.
Hitches can at times suffer a little when being shipped but typically result in being a minor problem. Most of the problems are the mounting brackets on the hitch do not line up with the holes on the vehicle frame. Our installers use a 'cheater bar' that looks like a long tapered screwdriver with no blade on the end. They place the bar in one hole to...

- Thanks for the purchase of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2299, and those along with an Air Ride pin box like the Trailair # LC158778 put you very much ahead of the game in terms of towing comfort.
But as far as psi in the air bags, there really isn't a recommended level. You should really just experiment to see what the most optimal setting is for you, though I will say 10 psi is pretty low. I think it would probably be a good idea to pump that psi up to see if it makes...
