Thanks for the link to the movie. I checked out my bumper on our 2017 Hideout 308BHDS pretty well. The frame stops before the end of the trailer box and there is a 2"x4" metal extension that goes out to the bumper. And the bumper has reinforced angle metal welded on both sides, not like the super cheapie in the video. Also, my bike rack has a threaded bolt that takes out the play so the rack doesn't move around in the hitch. Gonna give it a try on a 195 mile trek for Thanksgiving, let ya'll know how it goes. The two bikes I'm going to try with are $125 bikes also and I'm going to strap the frames to the bumper so if it fails it won't be in traffic. rack weighs about 27, each bike 22lbs. So about 70lbs. We can also see the setup in our rear-view wireless cam and we'll stop a couple times to check for any signs of failure.
