our mountain bikes have a different frame than standard which makes vertical hang different. what is the distance between the swing arms. were trying to see if the arms will fit between the framing on the seat post. thanks

On the Surco 2 Bike Ladder Mount Carrier, part # SP501BR, the distance between the arms will be determined by the width of your ladder on your RV. This part is two separate arms that are attached individually to each side of the ladder. So you would need to measure the width of your ladder to determine the width between the swing arms.

The width of the other RV ladder racks that I have that attach to one of the rungs of your ladder is listed below.

Swagman RV and Motorhome 2 Bike Carrier, part # S80630, is 9-1/4 inches.
Topline 2 Bike Carrier RV Ladder Mounted Bike Rack for Elliptical or Flat Steps, part # BR1200, is 12 inches.
Topline 2 Bike Carrier RV Ladder Mounted Bike Rack for Round or Square Steps, part # BR1210, is 12 inches.

I am including a link to a FAQ page on choosing a bike rack for a motor home or RV.
