bike rack

[jrlola]

We're interested in purchasing a bike rack for our 2018 Keystone Bullet. Any suggestions? What has worked well for you? We would prefer a bumper mounted type of rack preferably in the back for 2 bikes.

ANYTHING on the rear bumper is a bad idea. The bumper isn't strong and the weight of bikes bouncing will likely end up with bikes being run over by a vehicle following you. Some folks have put racks up on the front A piece.

Get an “A” frame mount for your bike they ride smoother on the front and always in sight.

Those flimsy bumpers were designed to hold your sewer hose & that's about all the weight they're good for.

Coincidentally, I just this Sunday installed a 4" bracket for an RV bike rack... but nowhere near my RV!

It just happened to have exactly the right dimensions I needed for a solar light mount for a 4" beam, and at a much more reasonable price than any other bracket of that size I found.

That's a much better use of the bracket than for bicycles hanging on the back of a rv. That's about all the weight I'd want on it if on my rv bumper.
Most likely if the rv bumper was the same 4" steel as that sign it would probably hold a couple bicycles.
