Bttt

Will two bikes fit inside the 291RLS with the slides in? I do not have it yet, so cannot try it.

Looking at the floor plan on the Keystone website, I'd say that there won't be space for bikes with the slides retracted.

Bikes inside TT's are bad business unless there is some kind of rack or holder to keep them from moving around. They can easily damage cabinetry and furniture if not secured.

The rear bumper on TT's is increasingly considered to be useless for mounting much of anything.

Best advice I am hearing over and over is to have a 2x2 receiver installed that fastens directly to the TT frame. Then you can safely use a regular receiver style bike carrier. Something like this is probably as close to ideal as can be found right now:

I had a 2011 291rls and would not try and store bikes inside with the slide in. there is barely enough room to walk to get through. would go with a outside rack. HP

Once I get it and can measure I will look into this. Will this void the warranty?

Not wanting to to put anything on the bumber of the trailer or inside to bounce around. I decided to put a front hitch on the truck, this works out great. Went online to curt hitch and found the model I needed and then order one from amazon along with a swagman XC2 bike rack. Bikes are very secure and ride great. I see a little bit of the bikes but they don't block my vision.

That's probably a question your dealer can best answer.

Bikes.

? Do the bikes block the view of your turn signals. My mom has a 25ft fifth wheel trailer she was asking me what she could do with her gas powerd moped type scooter.
