After Market Bike Rack

[dkm1964]

Has anyone in the forum ever installed an After Market Bike Rack on an XLITE Cougar 5th Wheel - If so could you share the name of the one you've installed and any modifications that you had to make?

I bought a 2 bike Swagman rack from Camping World for about $160. I comes with a bolt on to the square rear bumper mount.

It works great. I leave the pull out bumper retracted. The only downside is that you need to move the spare tire carrier further to the outside to clear the bikes. That covers the license plate and obscures the RH taillight. I am moving the light and license plate holder up about 16 inches to clear.

Other than I have no complaints. The bikes rest in hoops on their tires and 2 slide on devices lock the bicycles in place securely. They also sell a cover to go over the bikes.
