Recommended Bike Rack Compatible with Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk for R-Pod Trailer

Question

Question:

I am looking for a bike rack to attach to my RPod over the propane and battery. I do not want to mount bike to spare as I have seen them bounce off.. I am looking at the Stromberg CC-275. several questions. 1. I shows in can mount to 14-52...is this range or the only two widths? 2. It shows a capacity of 100 lbs. Does this include the weight of the bike rack? 3. Can use my Thule requiring a 2inch receiver? 4. What else is important for me to know? Thanks.

The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 can fit any widths between 12 inches and 52 inches. The bars rotate so they are compatible with any width between but that will move the receiver either slightly forward or slightly back from the frame mounts.

It can hold 100 lbs which will include the weight of the bike carrier. For instance the Swagman Trailhead # S63381 will take 32 lbs leaving 68 lbs for your bikes. You will want to note that because it is on a trailer, only bike racks rated for towable camper use will be compatible under warranty. With this bike rack, I recommend the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 2" Shanks - 8-1/2' Long # S64030

I've linked the page to the options that are rated for use with this rack on your R-Pod towable camper. Unfortunately there are not any Thule bike racks compatible with a towable trailer application.

There are other options like the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 which fits on the trailer jack mounting holes or the Swagman Straddler - 2-Bike Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # S80503 which adjusts from 10-1/2 inches to 31 inch frames. It has the same 100 lb capacity.

Answer 1

Yes, we had a customer with a similar R-Pod trailer as yours leave a review saying that the Stromberg Carlson Trailer Tray Cargo #CC-255 worked well on their trailer so it would work well for you as well.

The Thule Hitching Post Pro #TH934XTR weighs 41 pounds (including box). Since you are flying with this bike rack I would assume you will keep it in the box. The dimensions of the box are 39L x 15-1/2W x 10H inches. Based on the dimensions you…

Though this technically will work when looking at all the measurements, I cannot recommend doing so. Here's my reasoning behind saying that. With your fully loaded trailer having a tongue weight of 315 pounds and your loaded bike rack…

Thanks for the pictures, that's a very cute dog! I have a solution for you but looking at the space, and motorized jack, on your Escape 21C travel trailer's tongue you are not going to be able to mount a e-bike capable rack. The…

You could use the Swagman Straddler #S80503 if you want to. However you have to stay within the capacity of the Straddler which is 100 pounds. That means the combined weight of the bike rack you use and the bikes cannot exceed 100 pounds. The…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Answer 8

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

Hey Dave, so the best option for carrying your carbon frame bike and e-bike is the Swagman Escapee part #S39SR with the ramp #S59SR . It has the capacity for carrying an e-bike, is rated for travel trailer use, only touches the bikes by the tires…

Yes, you can install a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11433 on your 2019 Chevrolet Spark. This receiver is capable of supporting up to 200lbs of tongue weight. With each of the Lectric 3.0 e-bikes weighing roughly 60lbs without the battery you will…

As long as the flat tow wiring is wired in before the 4-Way #C93ZV and you connect the power for the converter directly to the battery it will work. I have seen several use Magnetic Lights #TL21RK which they will wire in on the main harness to have…
