To bad this type of poorly engineered sub standard quality excuse for a workable product is even allowed on the road. We wouldn't even hang dishtowels on this to dry. People are going to use it as a bike rack. It's going to fail and some unlucky person is going to suffer the consequences when it does.
Here is Lippert's web info: http://www.lci1.com/assets/content/s...tch_Components
They call it a "Sliding Bike Rack" part number 126890.
We contacted their Customer Service Tech Support Desk and asked if there wasn't a better way to support bikes and cargo other than ratchet straps and bungee cords. Garth told us that is how was designed. Really?? Like the Beverly Hillbillies strapp'n stuff to the back of the RV hoping it doesn't fall off and get someone hurt or even killed at freeway speeds.
Like we said, ours is coming off and a 2" receiver is being put in it's place. Hopefully Keystone gets the message and stops buying Lippert's frame with this option.
