Would the Stromberg Bike Bunk CC-275 Cause Turning Clearance Issues

Question:

i have Ford 2010 f150 supercrew with a Leer truck cap on. I am concerned about clearance when I am trailering my 2008 Keystone Hornet trailer. Will I have enough clearance between truck and bikes . I presently have a Hollywood receiver type bike rack which I was hoping to use will application. we always carry two bikes with us. We currently have a Kurt receiver on rear of our camper and using our Hollywood rack with it but it bounces a lot.

What is the distance between the front of your trailer and the coupler ball of it? What is the overall length of the bike rack you have currently? With those two dimensions you could get a pretty good idea where the bike rack would end up and if you would have interference issues. Most likely you would be just fine unless you were in a very tight turn.

Hollywood Racks does not have any bike racks that are confirmed for use at the rear of a trailer due to the movement and bouncing you described. So getting it moved in front with the # CC-275 would be your best solution.

I looked up pictures of the front of your trailer and it looks to have about the standard amount of clearance at the front so the # CC-275 should work fine.
