Question:

I have a Forest River 28 foot class C RV. Need a cargo carrier but was thinking of the possibility of also carrying 2 folding e bikes sometimes. Storage space at home is limited and one carrier would be better a carrier and a bike rack. Thinking that if folded up and strapped down they would have a lower center of gravity and should ride well on the carrier. Your company opinion on this topic would be appreciated

There is something that may help you achieve what you're wanting like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE combo # HR1450Z-85. A potential problem is that the Hollywood Racks option only has 50 lbs per bike and 100 lbs of cargo can be loaded on the carrier. It is motorhome approved which includes your class C RV. If you are only loading the carrier up without the bikes it will allow you to fit up to 220lbs of cargo in the carrier! That should be plenty for what you're needing to store.

This is the only option to have both. If you're concerned that your bikes are a bit too heavy for that then you should just get a carrier like this one # e98872 and buy a separate rack like this one # HLY84FR. When you're hauling your ebikes this version of the SE 2 has plenty of strength to take care of your bikes.

The nice thing about the folding cargo carrier is that you can easily store it in your compartments or in the RV living area when traveling. It doesn't take up near as much space as the other carriers we have.
