Can Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack Be Used on Flat-Towed Vehicle
Question:
Your listing says this can be used on a flat-towed vehicle, but I dont see anything in the Yakima paperwork that verifies that. It says not for use on a trailer or motorhome. I dont see how a flat-towed vehicle is different. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 is compatible with a flat-towed vehicle per Yakima. The difference is on a motorhome and trailer the hitch receiver sits well behind the rear axle so there is a bit more movement for accessories installed in the hitch. A flat-towed vehicle is essentially a vehicle that is driving along the road like normal - you are just pulling it with a motorhome instead of pressing the accelerator so the bike rack will experience the same movement.
