Can a Bike Rack be Installed on the Trailer Side of the Bike Bunk # CC-275 for Clearance
Question:
Thanks Jon, is there a spec sheet or anything that shows dimensions? I have 30# propane tanks and I want to establish if there is clearance etc

Your idea for the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 is a great one, the only problem is that even some of our smallest bike racks stick out past the 16-1/2" of clearance that you are looking for. I may have another solution for you though.
Check out the Lippert Jack-It # LC429756 that can hold up to 2 bikes weighing 40 lbs each. This bike rack installs on an A-frame trailer and fits around jacks with up to 2-1/4" outer tube diameter and 22-1/2" clearance. Since this bike rack holds bikes by their wheels it can work with a wide variety of bikes frames. Please be mindful that this option will really only work if you have an electric jack or a sidewind jack.
If you would like to add some security for your bikes then I recommend using the Cable Lock # e98891.
