Will Lippert Jack-It 2 Bike Rack Fit with Bolt-On A-Frame Coupler
Question:
We just purchased a 2022 Rove lite camping trailer. The frame is aluminum with a bolt on A-Frame coupler. I checked with the manufacturer and the frame will handle the weight and stress of the Lippert Jack-it. I am concerned about how it will mount with the bolts that hold the A-Frame coupler to the aluminum frame. From the photos on your site, it looks like the coupler bolts will interfere with the mounting of the Jack-it. Any suggestions?

I can definitely see where you are coming from. Attached is a photo I made showing the dimensions of the base part on the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 so you can compare that with the A-Frame coupler on your 2022 Rove Lite travel trailer.
If this doesn't work for you then we do have some other viable options as well. We can possibly add a hitch to your Rove Lite using something like the Curt # 13703 along with a bike rack like the Lets Go Aero NEO2 # B01748 or Thule Range # TH9057 OR we could go with a roof rack option on your tow vehicle like with the SeaSucker Mini Bomber # 298-BM2006 which mounts directly to your roof and doesn't require a whole roof rack setup.
