Bike rack for Arcadia 5th w

[ArcadiaRV]

Hello all,
We purchased a 2021 Arcadia model 3660rl and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a bike rack that will handle 2 electric bike (65 lbs each) that will be able to be installed on the back of the rig and that will be able to extend beyond the attached spare tire. If I measured it correctly it needs a 15” clearance from the hitch

Much thanks!

If the spare is mounted to the bumper it's already got too much weight bouncing on it. Those bumpers were designed to haul the sewer hose inside them & not much more.
If it were me I'd find a welding shop & have a custom rear bumper fabricated that is stout enough for the spare & a customized rack for your bikes. This IMO would be cheaper than trying "make" something work then losing all of it including the bumper on the side of the highway or into someone's grill.

Here’s what I have ..it’s a pretty solid bike rack.
Maybe you could relocate the spare tire to the back of your truck or use a bal under carriage tire holder.

I purchased this bike travel cover and it’s really nice also

Thank you for the tips!

I have the Hyperax Volt RV carrier also, but I haven't used it yet on the RV. We do a lot of biking and I've had it on my wife's Hyundai, as well as the F350 Dually we have. One of our ebikes weighs about 76 lbs with the battery, and the rack is rated for 70 lbs for each bike. We remove the batteries from the bikes before transporting them, as you should anyway, and it has worked out well for us. I did buy some different straps for tying down the tires/wheels of the bikes to the rack, but that was personal preference more than need.

As stated before don't bolt anything to the bumper. They are not strong enough. Welcome from northern MN.

Thank you. Fortunately the receiver hitch at. The rear of the rig is welded to the chassis. It seems that if I keep the spare tire at the rear I may be looking at purchasing a hitch extender
