• Lippert Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers Compatibility with Hand Crank Jack
  
• The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 will work with a hand crank jack as long as it is on the side. Technically you could even use a top crank jack but it wouldn't be ideal as you would need to stop every 1/4 turn to adjust around the rack base. For best fit, the hand crank just needs to be accessible. You will mount the jack with the Jack-It Bike Rack in mind so that the hand crank is on the outside and accessible. I've attached a photo from a trade show to assist...

• Bike Rack Needed to Fit Over Propane Tanks on a 20' 2016 Venture Sonic
  
• We have a few options for you to carry your bikes over the tongue of your 20' 2016 Venture Sonic. The first option would be to use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 which will fit frame widths from 12" to 52" and will allow you to attach a bike rack to the 2" receiver. One of the most popular bike racks that is used with this is the BikeWing-2 # B01311. It weighs 17 lbs and can carry up to 80 lbs of bike! (40 lbs each) If you are running out of room on your frame we also have...

• Will Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 Fit A-Frame Trailer
  
• The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 that you referenced is designed to fit over standard A-frame jacks and be high enough to fit over propane tanks as well. Since it's hard to know for certain how well it would fit your trailer you'd want to check out the dimension picture I attached and compare it to your trailer to know for sure. The additional weight of this rack ( 34 lbs) plus the weight of your bikes would get factored as tongue weight.

• Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Airstream Basecamp Travel Trailer
  
• Your photo suggests that the space available on your Airstream Basecamp trailer's frame to install the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 is just not large enough for a good fit. The Bike Bunk's brackets are almost 5-inches wide and it appears you'd have to do some serious cutting on your propane cover. On such a nice new premium travel trailer like the Basecamp I can see why this might make it more desirable to find another bike carrying solution. You might take a look at the Jack-It...

• Will the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Part # CC-275 Fit a 2018 Lance Model 1995
  
• The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk part # CC-275 will fit trailers that have space on the a-frame between 14"-55" back from the center of the coupler. As long as the weight of the rack and two bikes does not exceed 100 lbs then you will have no problem using the bike bunk with two bikes on your trailer. Also, please keep in mind that the bike rack must be rated for use on an RV in order to abide by the carriers warranty. If you do not have space available on the tongue of your a-frame...

• Can a Bike Rack be Installed on the Trailer Side of the Bike Bunk # CC-275 for Clearance
  
• Your idea for the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 is a great one, the only problem is that even some of our smallest bike racks stick out past the 16-1/2" of clearance that you are looking for. I may have another solution for you though. Check out the Lippert Jack-It # LC429756 that can hold up to 2 bikes weighing 40 lbs each. This bike rack installs on an A-frame trailer and fits around jacks with up to 2-1/4" outer tube diameter and 22-1/2" clearance. Since this bike rack holds...

• Does Skid Shield have to be Removed for a Front Hitch on a 2018 Toyota Tundra
  
• On the Curt front mount receiver # 31198 there is a note stating that the skid shield will either have to be removed or you can trim it and reinstall in on your 2018 Toyota Tundra. For the Draw-Tite receiver # 65051 we have a note stating that the skid shield must be removed but nothing about being able to reinstall it. Some customers have noted that they had to make or enlarge a hole on a bottom panel in order to be able to change the oil. You may also consider using the Bike Bunk,...

• How to Install a Bike Rack on a Prolite Mini 13
  
• As long as you have space on the a-frame for the frame brackets where the rails are between 12" - 52" apart then the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk part # CC-275 will work for you. The Swagman Straddler part # S80503 will work as long as you have space on the a-frame for the frame brackets where the rails are between 10-1/2" - 31" apart. We have not tested either of these on your Prolite Mini 13 so I cannot give you a definite yes or no answer. If you do not have space on the a-frame in...

• Bike Rack Solution Similar to Jack-It Bike Rack that Can be Used in Trailer Hitch
  
• If you wanted a similar setup that could be transfered to a vehicle hitch once you reach your destination you'd want to use the bike bunk adapter part # CC-275 installed on the A-frame of your trailer and then use the Let's Go Aero Hitch bike rack part # B01311 with the adapter which you could then transfer easily to a vehicle hitch. The Jack-It Bike Rack part # LC429756 can not be used in a trailer hitch.

• Is there a Shorter Shank to Move Bike Rack Closer to Trailer when Using the Jack-It
  
• I checked with Lippert, manufacturer of the Jack-It # LC429756 and they do not list an alternate shank. The only thing I can think of is that people are modifying it to fit their needs. You could instead use the Bike Bunk, # CC-275, with the BikeWing, # B01311. This will allow you to place the Bike Bunk on the A-frame at a spacing as narrow as 12 inches and as much as 52 inches (and basically anything in between).

• Recommendations for 2 Bike Rack Between Vehicle and Travel Trailer
  
• For carrying a bike rack and towing a trailer behind your vehicle there are a few options for you to consider. I'll give you each option and its restrictions. The first option is using a ball mount like the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210 and a bike rack like the # TH958 you asked the question from. This will allow you to tow your trailer and use a bike rack without needing an additional ball mount. Using this adapter...

• Compatibility of Bike Rack Receiver Mount while Towing Pop-Up Camper
  
• The MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 2-1/4" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 will work as long as you have 6 inches of clearance for the hitch pin hole of your receiver to the edge of the bumper. The Curt # D210 is rated for up to 7,500 lbs and is slightly shorter. You will need 5 inches of clearance between the center of the hitch pin hole and the outermost edge of the bumper to not make contract with the top receiver tube. Your other options are the Stromberg...

• How to Carry 2 Bikes on a 2016 Kia Sorento While Hauling a Trailer
  
• The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack part # Y02637 is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2016 Kia Sorento. Unfortunately, none of our trunk mounted bike racks including the HangOut can be left installed as the rear hatch/trunk is opened because the chance for interference is just too high. In regards to using the bike rack with a travel trailer, there is room for adjustment when installing this rack in that the actual rack could be placed further up on the vehicle but there would be no real way...

• How Hard is it to Remove the Top Part of the Jack-It Trailer Mount Bike Rack Carrier
  
• The part the Jack-It # LC429756 that holds the bike rack part is held to the base assembly with one bolt. The bike rack itself is also held in with a bolt. So either way, whether you want to take off the whole top assembly or just he bike rack part, you are removing one bolt so it will be very easy to do. I have included a picture pointing out the 2 bolts I mentioned.

• Bike Rack For Use With Trailer on Weight Distribution Hitch
  
• A dual hitch adapter won't work for you because even if there was an adapter rated for the amount you needed, an adapter will slice your hitch capacity by 50 percent. Your best option, if you do not want to haul bikes behind your trailer, is the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756. This rack fits around jacks with up to 2-1/4" outer tube diameter and 22-1/2" clearance; it has an 80 lb weight capacity and holds your bikes by the wheels. Apart from this your best bet is...

• Is Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers a Universal Fit
  
• The Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756 is considered a universal fit and there is no way for us to know if it will work specifically on any particular year, make or model of trailer but I can tell you exactly how to figure it out by taking some very easy measurements. It is very likely the Jack-It will work on your trailer but you just need to ensure your jack has a 2-1/4 inch diameter outer tube (which is standard) and there is at least 22-1/2 inches of clearance from...
