4-Bike Yakima Rack that Can be Used at the Rear of a Camper Trailer
Question:
Hi, I was just wondering why this item is listed as a no for towable trailers and campers? If they have the required hitch I dont see what the problem would be? I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks and have a good day.

At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use.
Yakima does have a bike rack that is rated for use at the rear of a motorhome with the LongHaul 4-Bike Rack part # Y02476 which has been reinforced and will work great! I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
