Stromberg Carlson's two-bike carrier for RVs easily clamps around the vertical supports of your exterior ladder. The non-marring material on the clamps helps to keep the carrier from scratching your RV ladder. Simply insert the included pins into the brackets to secure the arms in place so the rack does not sway while you are driving. With your bike's front wheel hanging toward the ground, place the seat post in the cradles on the carrier's arms. Then secure your bike in place with the straps on the cradles.
When bikes are not mounted, the carrier's arms pivot out left and right to allow access to your motor home's ladder. To move the rack arms, just remove the pull pins from the top of each bracket. Swing the arms out and reinsert the pins so that the arms are tightly secured in place. This allows you to use your RV ladder without having to remove the entire bike rack. When you are ready to use the carrier again, the arms easily pivot back in place and secure with the pull pins.

Yes I did receive the racks and they look great, my husband put them on and his comments were he wished the screws were longer, and the latch down loops were tough to get hooked over the bikes. Also we thought it would be nice if it came with some pads to keep the bikes from banging together or against our spare. Overall we lke the product, and the construction it seems sturdy and we like that it swings out of the way for ladder access. Your service was very prompt, which is always appreciated.

The process was so easy., from the search to the delivery. The products are of high-quality, and should last a long time with normal care. This is my third order with etrailer and I live there products. Everything is as advertised .If you need camping equipment then I recommend to buy from them.

Received in good condition. I am using the Ladder Mount Rack LA-102 on my RV to carry my pedal assist, Sondors Electric bike.
Due to the location of the battery box in the triangle portion of the frame, I have to carry the bike upside down. That is with the front wheel up and using the seat post frame but on the opposite side. I think this will work well except for not being able to use the rubber straps because the space between the battery box and frame post is too small. I have to use a total of three bungee cords to hold the bike on and in an upright position.
I have included pictures. Please let me know if you think there will be problems using the rack in this manner.

It was perfect while I was using it we had to buy a different one for our electric bikes

Bike rack is made of sturdy material. Holds my two bikes securely. No rust showing. I did think the price was a little expensive though, other than that; I would recommend.
by: Sherrill R01/20/2024
I requested information on the screw size before the delivery arrived as other’s complained that screws are short and I wanted to get longer screws just in case. I did not get the information from customer service. Instead , Jason’s response was to try using vise-grips as another customer mentioned that’s what they did…i requested the info a 2nd time and was ignored. Never did get the info.
Box was torn up, looks like a product return that was not repackaged before sending to me. It was put inside a larger box it appears the product was not damaged. I’ll be installing after it stops raining and will advise on functionality.

I like the product just fine
But they sent 8 locking nuts and 7 bolts that fit correctly and one oddball that did not

This product was great, would have been simple to install with 2 people, but I managed to get it done by myself. I was particularly impressed with etrailer.com's quick shipment! I placed the order on Tuesday night and forgot that I needed it by Friday morning before I chose economy shipping. I went back to the site Wednesday midmorning to see if I could have it 2 day shipped instead. It had already been shipped. My original thought was "great it is already on the "slow boat to China" Much to my surprise it arrived Thursday mid morning! Truly impressed with the efficiency of this company!
by: Clifton06/18/2018
We installed the bike rack on our class A motor coach. Product is as described. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the Allan wrench is difficult to use because the end is 1/4 too long to be easy to use on the inside screws.
by: Pete09/21/2022
Somewhat flimsy. Two Huffy bikes pushes its load limit. Not a good fit as my ladder is near edge of trailer. Ended up buying a cargo hitch mount with hitch mount bike rack.

Bought it for 2 bikes ,reinforced to strengthen arms put on ladder. Worked perfectly drove all summer over rough roads no cracks or problems.

This ladder mount bike carrier is so simple a design and easy installation that's it's amazing how wonder it is and so stable for carrying bikes. Have had one on my 5th wheel for awhile and needed another carrier for 'Big Blue' 42 gal 4 wheel blackwater tote. Worked through many options and decided if it ain't broke stick with it and ordered another of this same bike carrier to modify to carry 'Big Blue'. Heading up into the northern Rockies for 6 weeks with bikes on one carrier mounted high on the ladder and 'Big Blue' just below the bikes on this new adapted carrier also on the ladder. All this is well w/in the load limits of the ladder. So simple, so easy and so effective. If I need to carry anything else under 50lbs I guess I'll just have to mount a new LADDER!

Still going strong and both carriers, one carrying two mtn bikes and the other carrying 42 gal black water tote, working like a charm. So simple a design and very adaptable to carrying gear other than bikes.

The carrier is well made and is easy to attach but it does not hold all size bikes. It works well for my mountain bike but will not work with my wife's bike so I have to carry hers inside the RV. I may try adding the cross bar on her bike. (Being a lady's bike it is a step through) I also wish it had come with Velcro straps to help hold the bikes in place.

It has held up ok but the straps holding the locking pins are deteriorating and wont last much longer. Works well for my mountain bike but thats about it.
by: lance j.06/12/2015
Rack installed really easy only issue was with the screws being a little hard to get in once you started the first one but with the help of a pair of small vice grips i was able the pinch the two pieces of the bracket together to get the second screw started. The picture of the parts shows plastic mounting brackets but mine came with aluminum guess they upgraded for the better from what the older models came with. Haven't had a chance to use it while traveling but all in all looks well made and would recommend to others.

Made a couple trips with it and has held up nicely.
by: jill07/22/2016
just installed the bike rack. It appears to be sturdy and made well however as in all the other reviews the screws were not long enough. we had to make a trip to the hardware store to get longer screws to use on one side of the bracket. we had to use the original screws for the other side because it could only be accessed with the allen wrench. It took 2 hours to put together including the trip to the store. Hopefully it will hold up!

The bike rack is adequate. We keep our camper in covered storage. The cord that holds the pins in is faded and is showing alot of wear. Also one of the the pads that you set the bike on is tearing. It still holds the bikes in place well but I wonder about the longevity of this bike rack. I dont thinks it will last as long as I hope
by: Mike M05/15/2013
It was a little tedious to install but nothing a little patience cannot handle. It has nice adjustments to get it just where you want it on the ladder. I hung two bikes from it and it seems sturdy enough. We will see when we take a trip in the camper. So far I seems like a great bike rack.

We used it last summer and now this spring. It is a good bike rack. I have two bikes on it. It still holds the bikes secure. I can fold it over out of the way. The rubber tie straps are still strong and intact. The metal parts have all held up well. The only thing which is minor, the cords that hold the pins to lock the brackets in position have deteriorated and broken. But this is not a big deal. Easily replaced or not even needed. I would buy this bike rack again if I was starting out.
by: Nikki04/24/2016
This rack seems sturdy. It was easy to install, though we proceeded more based on common sense than based on the instructions provided.
The rack arrived very soon after I ordered it, was well packaged, and appropriately priced. Communication from eTrailer.com was clear and friendly. We look forward to hauling bikes on the back of our 24-foot RV.

The bike rack has worked well for us. To make sure nothing gets damaged bike or RV, weve had to apply lots of bungee cords, foam, and other materials, but the rack itself is sturdy and has served us well. Thank you for writing,
by: Don Y.08/05/2013
The bike rack is what I expected. It mounted fairly easy. The mounting bolts need to be about an 1/8" longer to make it easier. I'm using it for Beach cruiser type bikes. Getting 2 on there is a chore but it works. Need padding between the bikes.

the lanyard for the pins cant stand the sun they rot. The pins dont like rain they rust. Need extra straps if using it for large heavy bikes.
by: Ken Turner06/25/2015
Ordering my bike rack was simple, it shipped within 24 hours and arrived by ground 2 days later, This is not my first purchase from eTrailer and their customer service is by far the best I have encountered. Encourage you to try them.

Overall well designed product. We have electric bikes and wish it could handle 100lbs and the rubber strap for securing bike frame was longer to accommodate bigger frames.

We used it for one trip, but it is not suited to heavier bikes. We had to replace it with a hitch-mounted rack half way through our second trip.
by: Kevin10/29/2021
I think the bike rack is a reasonable product, but not a good fit for us. We only used it on one trip and it was a disaster. Last December, I bought and installed the bike rack on the ladder of our RV. We put our bikes on the rack and headed for the Everglades. On our first night, we stopped at a campground in Starke, FL, and were caught in a very bad storm with high winds. It was dark. It was raining. The wind was blowing. Then suddenly the wind tore off one of our roof vent covers and water was pouring into the RV kitchen. I ran outside only to realize that the bikes were mounted to the ladder and I could not get on the roof. In the dark and pouring rain, I had to unlock, un-secure, and remove the bikes from the rack. All the while rain is filling our RV. I finally got on the roof and was able to cover the hole left by the missing vent cover. We dried everything up and the next day, I purchased and installed a new vent cover.
I realized that blocking the ladder to the roof with bikes was not the best approach and we have never used the bike rack again. We laugh about it now, but it was a crazy evening, to say the least. We now put the bikes on a rack that is mounted to the hitch receiver on our tow vehicle.
by: Sandra/David W.05/08/2017
found dificulty on setting bike rack up. Could not get bikes to set on hooks properly. one of the bands btoke when trying to load both bikes on. Bikes are normal his/her 10 mountian bikes. There was nothing special about the bike that they would not go on correctly. After bending a hook and breaking a band we ended up throwing out bike rack. We would not tell any one to buy this type of bike rack.
Thank you,
Sandra Wagner

I drove almost 3,000 miles with one mountain bike, a reclining deck chair and captains chair on the rack, and it didn't move at all. For assembly, I did need to get longer screws as the ones sent with it weren't long enough for attachment around the ladder uprights. They are metric screws for anyone else running into this problem. I also used locking washers and nuts as a precaution against them coming loose during all the driving. It's easy to swing the arms out of the way, as I did need to climb onto the roof of the camper after the trip.

- Can Stromberg RV Ladder Mount Bike Rack Attach to RV Ladder that Uses Extension Rack PortionAs long as you can attach the Stromberg Carlson Ladder Mount Bike Rack part # LA-102 to the rungs of the ladder that are permanently to the RV yes you can use this rack.

The best option for your set up really is the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier # LA-102 which mounts to your Keystone's ladder rack and has a 25-lb-per-bike capacity. Additionally, please note that when using any hanging rack like the Swagman you'll need bike frame adapter bar # 64005 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame...

We offer 2-inch hitches made to install on RVs and trailers, both bumper-mount and frame-mount types, that are shown on the linked page. The highest weight capacity comes from a frame-mount type hitch like Curt's # 13703. This one can be bolted on or welded on to a trailer frame from 22- to...

I like the Rhino-Rack Hybrid Roof Bike Rack, part # RRRBC050, because it is one of our roof mounted bike racks that you can put a bike on without having to take the front wheel off. It fits bikes with 20 inch - 29 inch wheels and can even work with road tires or 2.7 inch wide mountain bike tires. It also includes 3 locks to secure your bike to the...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for 3 Bikes on 2018 Crusader Trailer When picking out a new bike rack for your 2018 Crusader 5th Wheel Trailer you will want to make sure you choose one that is rated for use on a trailer. Due to the rear bumper on a trailer being further back from the axle, a hitch-mounted rack has to withstand additional movement and bounce when compared to a bike rack on a standard passenger vehicle. To carry your bikes I recommend taking a look at the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike Rack # Y02476. This is a heavy-duty, trailer-approved rack that...

Unfortunately, on the Surco 2 Bike Carrier for Van/RV Ladders # SP501BR, the mounting brackets that are designed to attach to the ladder rail are non-adjustable. They are designed to clamp around 1-inch diameter tubing. Our other ladder attachment option, the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier for RVs - Ladder Mount # LA-102, also has a non-adjustable clamp that is designed for 1-inch diameter tubing. With that being said, if you have a standard 4 - 4.5...
view full answer... - Does Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier for RVs Require Longer ScrewsWe've had a few comments on the screw length of what comes with the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier for RVs part # LA-102 and while a few have said they wish they had longer screws a few have also noted that they also read those comments are glad they didn't go with longer screws as it would have made the install harder. What one customer mentioned was that using vice grips to hold the bracket when starting the second screw was the trick that worked best so that would be what I would recommend.
view full answer... - RV-Approved Bike Racks for Use on Travel TrailerThere are cargo carriers that can be fitted with add-on bike carrier accessories. Good for you for trying to plan ahead! However any item, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, that will be installed in a hitch that is on the rear of a trailer or motorhome must be specifically rated for that RV application. Regular bike and cargo carriers made for cars cannot be used on RVs. They are not strong enough. The reason is that the typically longer distance between the rear axle of an RV and...
view full answer... - Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier Combination Recommendation for HitchI have the perfect solution for you. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform 2 Bike Rack w/Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85 is a 2 bike platform rack with a cargo carrier that attaches to the rear of it. I attached a picture of what it looks like as well as a review video for you to check out as well. If you need a USA made trailer hitch for your 2018 Dodge Durango too we have the Curt # C13182 which is a confirmed fit and would work well with the rack mentioned.

- Will an RV Ladder Experience More Stress when Using Ladder Mount Bike Rack LA-102A ladder and/or the mounts would experience greater than normal stress when using a ladder mount bike rack such as # LA-102. However it isn't anything the ladder or mounts can't handle. The ladders and mounts are designed to support a person and that weight would exceed the weight of a loaded rack even when you consider additional load periodically applied to the ladder when driving.
view full answer... - RV Bike Rack Recommendation That Could Be Used When Towing Trailer As WellI wouldn't recommend towing a trailer at the back of an RV with the bike rack # S80501 installed. A ladder mounted bike rack like part # LA-102 would be a better option as you would be able to raise it up higher if needed to clear the tongue of the trailer.

For that we have the Frame mounted Swagman Nomad Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S36FR which carries up to two bikes. However, if you want a tire-mount, I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. It only touches the bikes at the tire like you said you wanted, which is a nice feature to protect delicate frame materials...
view full answer... - Available Bike Racks for Use When Towing a Camper TrailerThe reason trunk-mount racks are not recommended for your 2014 Ford Escape Titanium is that their weight when loaded could damage the car's rear trim panels. The lift-gate sensors are not the concern. Since you are towing a camper there will be better options than a trunk-mount rack for transporting your bikes. We offer racks that install on the back of a trailer, on the top of a pop-up camper and also other items that allow use of a hitch-mount type rack on the front of your trailer....
view full answer... - Can a Spare Tire Bike Rack be Used on a Travel TrailerThe Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier part # HRSR1 will work on tires up to 15" wide. If you can tell me what size spare tire you have on your travel trailer then I would be glad to let you know if it falls within this range although it should because most spare tires for a trailer will not be near this wide. However, this bike rack is not intended for use on spare tires mounted on trailers so I cannot recommend you use this. Instead, you will want to take a look at the attached link...
view full answer... - Why Cant a Spare Tire Bike Rack Be Used on 5th WheelBecause the suspension of a fifth wheel is stiffer than a passenger vehicle, and because the rear overhang (distance between rear axle and rear bumper) is longer than what's found on a passenger vehicle. Because of this, anything mounted on the rear of a fifth wheel will be exposed to much more bouncing and jarring than something installed on rear of a passenger vehicle. Remember how bouncy it was sitting in the back seat of the school bus? Same principle. The spare tire bike racks we...

The distance it extends past that will depend on the bikes placed on the rack. I have edited a photo for you showing this dimension. The bike pedals should be more or less even with the end of the rack arm, but the handlebars will extend out further than that. If this does not provide you with enough clearance, you can loosen the bolt on your handlebar gooseneck enough so that...

- Will the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier Work On a 2021 Forest River R-PodIf the vertical supports on the ladder of a 2021 Forest River R-Pod are 1" diameter which they should be as that's the standard size then the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier for RVs part # LA-102 will fit and work just fine. There won't be any issues with support as the ladder is more than capable to hold the weight of the carrier and bikes.

- Hanging Bike Carrier For Carrying Bikes Behind a 5TH Wheel RV CamperIf your 5th wheel has a rear ladder the Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier # LA-102 is going to be your best option since the Softride Hang2 # SR27041 and similar racks are not rated for a 5th wheel. The same is true for swing away racks like the Yakima EXO # Y54ZR. If you do not have a rear ladder the Swagman Original RV Bike Rack # S64152-2 is a hanging rack capable of supporting 3 bikes up to 35lbs each. This rack is rated for use on a 5th wheel and fits in a 2" receiver.

The ladder comes in two pieces, a top portion and a bottom portion. The part of the ladder that gets trimmed is the downtube between the top and bottom portion. Basically, you will want to cut both or one side of the downtubes until you have the correct size, then insert the hinges and attach to the coach.

The Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier # LA-102 itself only weighs 7 lbs and it has a weight capacity of 25 lbs per bike. That means the most weight you will be putting on your ladder is 57 lbs which isn't a whole lot considering that ladder is meant for grown adults to climb. Another option that you may not be aware...

Therefore, the only way to use a hitch bike rack on the rear of an RV while also towing a car with a tow dolly, would involve a bike rack that slides over the ball mount.

I contacted Electra Bicycles to find out the weights of their various Townie models (as this is not provided on their website) and they advised that their lightest models in the Townie series are 35-lbs. This makes the Stromberg Carlson RV rack unsuitable for your particular bikes. We offer a similar ladder-mount RV bike rack from Surco, part # SP501BR, that offers a higher weight...

At this time, there are no hitch mount bike racks with a 1-1/4 inch shank that are approved for use on RVs or trailers. We may have some options that will work for you, however, I do not recommend using a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter when carrying a bike rack at the back of a fifth wheel trailer. The use of an adapter will decrease the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by half and...

The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar on this rack is 14 inches.

I recently purchased this bike rack. I am disappointed in the engineering of the mounting and tie downs. First of all, the customer should not have to wish the screws were longer. You can start one screw, but there is no way to get the second screw started due to the angle the bracket sits at. I enlarged the holes and had to install new bolts in order to fit around the 1 inch diameter roof ladder Most people just dont have metric screws the right length needed laying around the house. Secondly the durometer of the latch down hoops is so stiff that it is impossible to stretch the holes over the pins they connect to. I found the only way to hook them is to use a vice grip and leverage to pry them over the pins. If you mount the bike rack high on your RV ladder, you will find yourself on a step stool cussing out the poor design and material ion. I would not recommend this bike rack to anyone.
