What Is The Best A-Frame Mounted RV Bike Bunk

Question:

I have a Casita Travel Trailer... looking for a bike rack that mounts on the FRONT of the trailer on the tongue, not behind as the rear bumper per say is truly only there to hold hoses and is not strong enough to hold a bike rack imo..

I have the perfect option available for you to carry a bike rack on the front of your a-frame trailer. For this you will want the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers part # CC-275. The Stromberg Bike Bunk is designed to fit an a-frame trailer width of 14-55". It also has a 100 lbs weight capacity suitable for most bike racks.

For a bike rack designed for use with this bike bunk, I recommend the Yakima LongHaul Bike Rack part # Y02476. The Yakima RoadTrip works to reduce sway by holding the bike frame to the carrier is three separate places in addition to a threaded hitch pin designed to reduce moment of the rack in the hitch receiver. This carrier only weighs 32 lbs therefore, you will have an additional 69 lbs. to haul your bikes.

I have also attached a list of all our 2" hitch receiver opening bike racks rated for use with an RV for your review.
