Recommended A-Frame Bike Rack for Taylor Coach Coadestar

Question:

I have a Taylor Coach 16foot Codestar, made in Ontario. They recommend the Arvika system ,however being that I live in Maine , I am interested in the Stromberg Carlson bike frame as a possibility. My propane tanks only come 18inch above the frame. I have a rock guard window that is 32 inch above the frame. The specs say the cross bar is 33.5 inch inches above the frame. What do you recommend for a bike rack to go in the two inch . We were thinking of the V shaped aero v????

The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 does not work with the Lets Go Aero BikeWing-2 NextGen 2-Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting (Discontinued) LGA54FR because it is not rated for travel trailer use. You will need to use a bike rack that is rated for that use like # S64152-2.

I recommend the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers - 22-1/2" Jack Clearance # LC429756 which mounts over the jack and has that V-shape you referenced. I also recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to your trailer.
