How Would Rear Wheels of Trike Line Up with Wheel Slots of Swagman Bike Carrier RV Mounted
Question:
You have recommended the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 to carry an adult trike bike. My question is how will the tires line up to use the bike rack when it is made for a two wheel bike?

Expert Reply:
In the past we have given the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 as a solution for carrying a trike at the rear of an RV. The reality is that the rear wheels both probably wouldn't perfectly line up with the wheel slots of the rack so you'd have to most likely put the rear wheels in the wider slots between the actual wheel slots.
It would be very important to strap down the trike as well as possible with straps like the part # 05605 which is a set of 4 can buckle style straps.
