Hitch works well
This hitch assembled easily and works well. The only criticism I have is that the arm which attaches to the receiver hitch on my RV could be a tad longer (1/2 inch), because as mounted the inside bicycle handlebar makes contact with the back of the RV. We solved that by making a pad for the end of the handlebar. Another solution, which we did not use, would have been to attach the included bumper mount to the back bumper. If we had used the included bumper mount, it would have given us more mounting
options for the bicycles, as well, so the problem is not with the rack, it is with the design of our RV. I would highly recommend this rack.

Well Worth The Investment
We purchased this rack specifically for the back of our travel trailer. We also purchased a
4 inch adapter but were able to return it as this rack came with the appropriate size
attachment for our bumper. It took about 15 mins. to size it to our bikes and after that it
was super simple to use. We were able to easily move it from the camper to our truck. It
was great being able to drive down the road and not have the bikes bouncing up and
down because they were hanging and strapped on. So much more secure. Wished we
had bought this the first time around and saved the hundreds on the previous rack!
Would definitely recommend.

Great Product
This bike rack just could not be any easier to use. It is extremely easy to load the bikes on without any help. The mechanism to secure them is simple and can be done with one hand while just balancing the bike on the base. I've used this several times now on the back of my travel trailer and the bikes are very secure. They don't move around
and the way this is designed it seems pretty much impossible for them to get
scratched up while in transit. I am very happy with this purchase.

Great Bike Rack
This bike rack is exactly what we were looking for. The other reviewers comments regarding the attaching bolts and nuts did give me a little concern when ordering. However, upon receipt I found absolutely no issues with the bolts or nuts. It may be due to the fact that they are 16mm in size and I just happened to have both deep set sockets and wrenches that are metric, and the item installed without any issues at all. I would have rated the rack at a 5 except that I feel the shaft that slides into the hitch could use about 1/2 to 1 more length for added clearance past my trailer spare. Great
product, simple to use and low to the ground which eliminates trying to lift the bicycles over your shoulders or head.

Best designed rack ever
Holds two bikes securely with minimal effort. Most of the
reviewers that did not give it 5 stars appeared to not think
that the location of a rear spare tire or ladder may affect
how good a fit it is without an extension. We have a
recumbent and a girls bike. It took me longer than 15
minutes to set it up initially, because I experimented with
every possible configuration (both bikes facing left or
right or one each way) to make sure nothing bumped my ladder
and to decide which hold down bracket should be on top.
Now, it take 5 minutes to get the rack from the shed, mount
on the back of my RV an load the 2 bikes.
My recumbent is about two inches longer than this is
designed for, but the hold down bar still holds it securely.

EASY INSTALL
This is a great bike rack for any RVer. Installs easily and loads even easier. Holds a variety
of bike sizes. For me, it handles two mountain bikes easily. No issues when traveling either.
Everything stays in place. When not in use, the fold up feature makes for easy and compact
storage. Even attaches to my truck easily (Standard 2 inch receiver) to transport my bikes
when not hooked up to my 5th wheel. GREAT PRODUCT!

Using this on an RV
I did a lot of studying before I bought this bike rack.
I am using it a little different then most. I have a class A rig and mounted the bumper
mount on top of my regular hitch.
I had to buy several things to make this work.
I purchased shorter bolts and new lock nuts. I also purchased a hitch adapter to raise
the hitch above my tow bar. I have invested about $100 above the bike rack but it is all
worth it.
I can now put my bikes on the back of the RV instead of the car and that will improve fuel
mileage.

XC Hitch style bike rack
All metal - which I expect to hold up much better than the metal and plastic rack I recently sent to recycle. I'm on a long trip and after about 2,200 miles the bikes were still firmly in position showing no damage even though we had traveld some bumpy roads (the rack is
mounted at the back of a 30' fifth wheel trailer). The only improvement I'd like to see would make it easier to really lock the rack to the trailer and the bikes to the rack. I can do it, but it could be better. All in all, I'd buy it again.

Is it compatible with ebikes that weigh 65 lbs and fat tires?
I believe this rack could handle the weight. The question is, can your bumper handle the weight? I needed to remove the spare tire from the bumper for that reason.

Will our 2 fattys fit? Our tires are 4.75" wide.
I’m not sure — we have beach cruisers that fit fine with room to spare but you’ll have to contact the manufacturer to know for sure.

Does this bike rack tilt out to allow access to cargo area of car?

Can this rack be used on a standard truck hitch?
Yes, this bike rack can be mounted to a 2"x2" standard vehicle hitch instead of using the provided bumper mount adapter.

I have two 12 speed Adventurer folding bikes that have 22" wheels. Will this rack hold these bikes. My concern are these bikes have smaller tires and do not have a straight bar that the rack's hook is used to lock the bikes down
The loops on the bike rack that hold the tires is 14" in length, so smaller tires can be placed in them without falling through.
As for a crossbar for the hold down hooks, we carry SKU# 60270 which is an adapter that creates a crossbar for step through style bicycles.

Can this rack be used on a 5th wheel?
Yes, this bike rack can be used on a 5th wheel and other RV trailer types.

How does it attach to the back of a travel trailer?
I have a 30' wildwood heritage glen travel trailer 2016.
This bike rack is either attached to a 2" receiver hitch already on the travel trailer, or the included adapter is mounted to a 4"/4.5" steel bumper to create a receiver for the bike rack to attach to. Installation instructions can be downloaded <a href=http://www.swagman.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/64663Instruc.pdf>here</a>.
