Can the Topline RV Ladder Bike Rack be Used with a Blue Ox Towing System
Question:
We have the Blue Ox towing system and need a bike rack. Im looking at the ladder mounted systems but wonder if the bike will stand out too far for turns. Can you help?

Expert Reply:
Ultimately clearance would be determined would be dependent on width of the vehicle, length of the tow bar, hitch location on the RV etc.
There is no way to say for sure if the ladder rack will allow enough clearance for tight turns. The rack is designed to be used with RVs that often flat tow a vehicle, so I doubt that it will interfere with most towed vehicles. But without testing it for your particular combination, I could not say for sure.
You also have the option of using a bike rack on the towed vehicle if you take it with you every time you use your RV.
