4-Bike Rack Recommendation for Use at Rear of 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
I was looking at the Saris Superclamp as I need a platform rack that fits 4 very different sized bikes. However, I notice that it doesnt work with a 5th wheel. Is there a similar rack or an adapter to make it work. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Since the ride quality is rougher at the rear of fifth wheel trailers and platform bike racks are longer and heavier there are only hanging style 4-bike racks that are rated for this type of application. The one I recommend is the Yakima LongHaul part # Y02476 which has cushioned frame cradles and is easier to load with it's zip straps. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
