Will the Yakima Hangover work on my Fifth Wheel?
Question:
Can this rack be used on non-suspension bikes? More to the point, I have a couple of large adult kick scooters that I want to use this rack for. The kick scooters dont have suspension forks, and everything I have seen in the pics and videos shows suspension forks. Can you clarify if this would work with an adult kick scooter? Example of scooter is the Schwinn Adult Shuffle Scooter with 26inch Wheels. I am wanting to mount this on to the accessory hitch on the back of my fifth wheel. Thanks for your help on this.

I have a couple of options but unfortunately with the way the Yakima HangOver 4 Bike Rack part # Y02484 hold the bike it isn't going to work for your Shuffles. One other thing to keep in mind is that you want a bike rack approved for use on the rear of a 5th wheel which the Hangover is not.
Instead the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack part # S80600 or the 2 bike version part # S80605 would be the way to go. This would allow you to transport them on an approved rack. I lean towards the 4 bike to give you additional space but you may lean towards the 2 bike as well.
I have also linked our entire selection of fifth wheel approved bike racks to look at if you want to browse whats available.
