We have quite a few bike 4-bike racks available that are approved for use behind a motorhome like your Winnebago Vectra. Since a bike rack mounted behind a motorhome will be subjected to more bounce and movement when compared to that of a standard passenger vehicle, you will just want to make sure that the rack you choose is rated for this use.

I highly recommend the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Rack # Y02476. This motorhome/RV approved rack features dual arms for easy loading and excellent bike support, SuperCush anti-sway cradles that will secure the bikes at 3 different points, and a threaded hitch lock that will both reduce movement during travel and deter theft of your investments. A cable lock is also included to secure the bikes to the rack. This carrier can safely secure up to 4 bikes at 37.5 pounds each.

I have included a video demonstration on this bike rack that you can check out.

If you happen to be carrying any children's, women's, or alternative frame bikes you might also need an adapter bar like the Kuat # UB01 with this or any other hanging-style rack. This will provide a horizontal attachment point for level transport and increased ground clearance. I have attached a video demonstration on this product so you can see exactly how it is used and why it might be needed.
