RV Bike Rack Recommendation for Scamp 13 with Two Inch Hitch
Question:
hi there again: I am shopping for a bike rack, to preferably mount to the 2inch receiver in back of my Scamp 13. Your Advantage SportsRack V-Rack 2 Bike Rack for 2inch Ball Mounts would fit perfectly, but I wonder if it is rated for mounting to a trailer I had purchased a different brand, and when UPS brought it, the box declared loud and clear to NOT even think about mounting it on a trailer - apparently, the shock loads back there are higher than in back of a car thank you!

Expert Reply:
At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use.
The Advantage SportsRack V-Rack that you referenced is not rated for use behind RVs but the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476 is rated for use behind RV's/trailers and would be a great option.
