Will This Bike Rack Work with My Tandem Bicycle on RV Motor Home Bumper
Question:
Can the tire mounts be slid far enough apart to handle a tandem bicycle?
asked by: Mark
Expert Reply:
If your RV or Motorhome bumper is wider than the tandem bicycle then the Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, part # S80605, will work.
If you do not already have something to secure your bikes to part # S80605, then you may need the 10 foot Cable Lock, part # e98891.
You will need to check with the RV manufacturer to see how much weight the bumper is rated to hold. You will need to calculate the weight of the bike rack plus the weight of the tandem bicycle. Tandem bicycles tend to be heavy and you want to make sure the bumper can support all the weight.
