Recommended Bike Rack and Bumper Hitch for 2021 Forest River Salem FSX
Question:
I’m looking to replace my bumper on a 2021 Salem Forest River FXS 17 bhsk. What bumper would you recommend for hauling bikes with. The bumper length is 92”.

Expert Reply:
The rear bumper on a 2021 Forest River Salem FSX is plenty capable of hauling bikes. In order to do this this you'd just need a bumper mounted hitch and a travel trailer compatible bike rack. The Curt RV Bumper Hitch part # C19101 is a great option and would then pair well with a rack like the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack part # HLY64FR. I'm not sure what type of bikes you have so if this won't work you can choose from the list of other options I have attached below.
If the bumper capacity for the trailer is not up to par for what you have in mind, you can strength this with some brackets so you don't have to do a full outright replacement. I recommend the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets part # MO22FR.
