Can the Yakima Flipside Y02426 Work on a Travel Trailer and if Not What Can

Question:

Can I use this bike rack on my travel trailer?

asked by: Dave L


Expert Reply:

The Yakima FlipSide 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Rotating Rack with Frame Mount Cradles, # Y02426, cannot be used on the back of a travel trailer per Yakimas recommendation in the instructions, page 6 (linked below).

A similar rack that will work is the Swagman RV and Motorhome Bike Rack, # S64663. The major difference between this rack and the Yakima is that the Swagman does not fold or tilt like the Yakima. While the Swagman rack can be used on the back of your trailer, you must have a Class III hitch on your trailer. We do have several frame mount RV hitches. I have provided a link below should you determine you need a new hitch. In addition to the restriction of a Class III hitch, Swagman has additional disclaimers noted on page 2 of the instructions linked below.
