Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Chevy Traverse Towing Trailer
Question:
Hello, I have a dual hitch adapter question to carry a bike rack and pull a camper. I drive a 2010 Chevy Traverse and a 2009 Jayco 23B camper that weighs unloaded at 4,130lbs. and a 4,950lbs. gross vehicle weight and a 410lbs. hitch weight. My hitch to pull the camper is a Husky weight distribution with bolt-together ball mount/shank assembly and sway control. What do you recommend? Thank you,

Expert Reply:
Your best option is going to be to use roof rack style bike racks to carry the bikes with your 2010 Chevy Traverse as you are going to be very close to the towing capacity of your vehicle.
If you need a roof rack to provide crossbars that will run from left to right you would want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK297. Then for a fork mounted bike rack we have the MountainTrail part # RBC035 which would fit this rack or factory crossbars.
