Compatibility and Increased Tongue Weight of Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275

Question:

I have a 2014 Sunset Trail Reserve with a cap on front. The propane tanks are slightly under the cap in a cut out. Will the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers fit and how much will it increase the tongue weight?

The mounting brackets for the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 measure 8-inches tall x 4-3/4-inches wide x 2-inches deep so first you'll want to measure your trailer frame to be sure it is compatible and that you have this much available space on the trailer frame. The Bunk can fit frame widths from 14- to 55-inches wide.

The Bike Bunk weighs right around 45-lbs, so to this you'll need to add the weight of your bike rack and bikes to determine what this combination of items will do to your tongue weight. Please note that the Bike Bunk can handle a total weight load of 100-lbs, so the combined weight of your bike rack and bikes cannot exceed 100-lbs. In this case your tongue weight would increase by approximately 145-lbs.
