Ways To Add a Bike Rack Behind an RV Without a Factory Installed Rear Bumper
Question:
What do you recommend to install on the back of a bumper less rv to allow a 2 bike bike rack?
asked by: Robert O
Expert Reply:
With your RV not having a rear bumper you will have a couple options and I recommend collaborating with the trailer manufacturer to determine which is going to work best. First and the easiest is going to be installing a Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # 13703. This will allow you to carry a bike rack like the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR in the receiver.
Another option which may be the smartest is installing the Mount-n-Lock Heavy-Haul'r Replacement RV Bumper # MNT43VR. This will help protect your RV by giving you a bumper and you are able to mount the Receiver # e38HR. This will give you a 2" receiver to carry the Bike Rack # S94FR.
