Factory bike rack/cargo

Hi;
We have a 2018 RES311 Fifth Wheel. It came with the bike rack/cargo tray per attached picture. Any suggestions on the best way to secure bikes?

I've seen people use these on cargo carrier racks before:

They might work.

These are the ones I used on my Cougar. They work well. There is an arm on the cargo rack that you can extend to vertical - I ran a bungee cord through the bikes and secured to this arm. I then used bungee cords from the top of the bikes to the cargo rack. No problems, whatsoever.

I use ratchet straps on mine with a bungee here and there. Three adult sized bikes fit very nicely. While going down the road the rear camera keeps an eye on them too!
