Recommended Bike Rack For 2 Fat Tire E-Bikes On A 2020 Forest River Flagstaff Super Lite Fifth Wheel

Question:

I have a 2020 Flagstaff Classic Fifth Wheel and I want to put 2 fat tire ebikes on the back. The bikes weigh 67 lbs each. What bike racks are available for this application? I also have an option of mounting on truck front receiver hitch, current hitch is too high obstructing view out the front. What racks are available for this application?

For your two fat tire E-Bikes I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR. It has a weight capacity of 70lbs per bike and is rated for use on cars, vans, trucks, SUV's, motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles. There isn't really a lower rack to fix your view obstruction from using the front mounted hitch but you will still be able to use the # S94FR up front if you choose to.

The # S94FR is a frame mount design so you'll most likely need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005 so the frame lock hooks have something to grab onto. You'll also most likely need the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Swagman G10 and E-Spec Bike Racks # S64679 to properly fit the fat tires of your E-Bikes.

If your 2020 Forest River Flagstaff Super Lite Fifth Wheel doesn't already have a receiver hitch then you'll need to measure the distance between the inside of the frame beams to determine your trailer's frame width. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703. It has a 3500lbs GTW and 350lbs TW and adjusts to 22" - 72" frame widths. If your frame width falls outside of these dimensions then please reply back and I can find the correct fit for your needs.
