• Bike Rack Recommendation for Keystone Passport 267BH Carrying 3 Bikes
  I checked out the Keystone Passport 267BH you are getting and the best option for adding a 3 bike rack will be the Swagman 4 Bike Rack part # S80600 which will attach to the square bumper you have at the rear of the camper. This is a really easy solution that doesn't require fabricting a hitch to the rear of the camper. For straps you'd then want the 4 strap set part # 05605 and you'd be set. I attached a review video for this bike rack for you to check out as well.

• Bike Rack Recommendation to Secure two Trikes at Rear of RV with 4 Inch Bumper
  The Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 that you referenced would be your best option for carrying trikes at the rear of an RV with a 4 inch continuously welded bumper, but since the wheel slots of the rack aren't adjustable it may not be an ideal rack option. You might have to get a bit creative with who you situate the trikes on the rack but you should be able to get the trikes on the rack with some tie downs like # 05605. You will need to verify that your rear bumper...

• How To Secure A Kayak To The Thule Xsporter Pro Truck Bed Ladder Rack
  I do have a recommendation for you, however, Yakima does not make an adapter for the Yakima HullHound Kayak Saddles w/ Tie-Downs part Y04079 that will allow them to work with the Thule Xsporter Pro Adjustable Height Truck Bed Ladder Rack part # TH500XT. In order to secure a kayak to the Xsporter crossbars, I recommend using a set of tie down straps like the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps part # 05605 and foam blocks like the Malone Foam Kayak Block for Truck Racks part # MPG159 as...

• Is there a Way to Carry a Trike at Rear of RV
  You could potentially carry a trike on the Swagman bike carrier # S80600. Out of the available options for carriers rated for use at the back of an RV or trailer, this is the only one that could potentially hold the trike. As long as you stay under the weight capacity of this rack (120 lbs) and securely attach the trike like with tie downs part # 05605 this would work fine. Most likely the wheel slots of this rack won't line up perfectly with the rear axle of the trike.

• How to Tie Down a Motorcycle in a 7x14 Foot Enclosed Trailer
  If I were you I would go the route of using a wheel chock like our Rackem Wheel Chock # RA-17 and then use the E-tracks to tie down your bike by compressing the forks. The other method you described where you said you wanted to hang the bikes could possibly work but most likely if you were to hit bumps in the road your bike might bounce and become unattached and fall. The E-Track 2 inch D-Ring # E59143 would work well with a set of tie-downs like the Erickson Cargo Tie Downs # 05605....

• How To Secure A Cooler To A Cargo Carrier
  I have two options that will allow for you to securely attach a cooler to your Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18151. You can choose from either a cargo net or a set of cambuckle ratchet straps. A cargo net such as the Curt Stretchable Cargo Net part # C18202 will allow for you to secure a much larger variety of items under the net in comparison to a cambuckle system. The cargo net is specifically designed to work with your cargo carrier and will work well to secure your cooler. The most...

• Where to Secure Bikes with Ratchet Straps When Using Swagman RV Bike Rack Part # S80605
  The Swagman Motorhome Bumper 2-Bike Carrier, part # S80605, is intended for use on 4- to 4-1/2-inch continuous-weld steel RV bumpers (not aluminum or spot-welded bumpers) and can carry two conventional bikes of similar length. This carrier is made for use with typical pedal bikes, but not tandem, motorized or specialty-downhill bikes which can be much heavier. The carrier total rated weight capacity is 70 lbs. The installation instructions are included for your review. The two bikes should...

• Curt 24X 60 Cargo Carrier Compatibility With Carrying Deer When Hunting
  The 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 500 lbs # C18152 can be used to transport many things...including your trophy buck. I have absolutely seen them used for transporting deer. Some people will use a tarp like # EM57022 to cover it as much as possible, but that is up to the person. I recommend using the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 5-1/2' - 300 lbs - Qty 4 # 05605 to have a few simple straps that you can use to secure it to the top rail of the...

• Recommended Wheel Chock for Suzuki Burgman Scooters
  The 4-3/4 inch wide front tires of your scooters would be perfectly compatible with the Tow-Rax # TWSPWC wheel chock. The chock includes hardware for mounting the chock to a wood floor, for a metal floor you'd need the # TWSPWFKM mounting hardware. If you don't already have them, you'll also need some ratchet straps to hold the scooters in place. Ones set of # 05605 straps per scooter would have plenty to capacity to keep the scooters locked into position.

• Eye Bolt Kit Recommendation for Camper Shell with Thule Roof Tracks
  I have a solution but it will require installing a Thule Aeroblade roof rack that includes the fit kit part # THKIT3101, the feet part # TH460R and loadbars like the part # TH711520 for 60 inch bars. For a set of tie down straps I recommend using the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps part # 05605.

• Maximum Trailer Hitch Size for a 2012 Toyota Corolla and Recommended Hitch Cargo Carrier
  The maximum trailer hitch size your 2012 Toyota Corolla can accommodate is Class I. The one I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 24913. You will be able to fit Class-I accessories with the 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have attached an installation video for you to look at. I recommend checking your owners manual to verify the capacities of your 2012 Corolla. From what I could find, it looks like your Corolla has a maximum tongue weight of 100 pounds and maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds....

• Recommendation For RV Rated Bike Racks For 6 Bikes On 2016 Palomino Solaire 267bhse
  For a bike rack on your 2016 Palomino Solaire 267BHSE, I recommend the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600. I recommend using tie-downs like # 05605 to secure your bikes in place and # e98891 cable lock to deter theft. There is not a 6 bike RV carrier available, so I recommend using a second rack and putting it in a separate location. Because you have an A-frame trailer, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers...

• 5th Wheel Hitch and RV Bike Rack Installation on Heartland Big Horn 3610RE 5th Wheel
  Most likely the frames on the 2012 and 2014 model years of the Heartland Big Horn 3610RE 5th wheels are the same. But since RV makers typically don't provide those specs all you need to do is measure the space between the trailer's frame rails to find out if the Ultra-Fab hitch # UF35-946403 will fit. This hitch will fit for weld-on installation on I-beam, C-channel or rectangular trailer frames of widths from 47-1/8-inches out to 77-inches and it provides a tongue weight rating of 350-lbs,...

• How to Carry 4 Bikes While Towing a Travel Trailer
  To take 4 bikes with you while you're towing your travel trailer I recommend the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600. It mounts to your trailer's steel square 4" or 4 1/2" rear bumper, and has a 120 lbs capacity, or 30 lbs per bike. Carrying all 4 bikes on the front of the trailer is not the best option, because most carriers that mount to the tongue are going to be limited to 2 bikes or a lower weight capacity, like the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike...

• Is Swagman Bumper Mount Bike Rack Safe to Use
  As long as the bumper is 4 to 4-1/2 inches, made of steel, is square, and has a continuous weld the length of the bumper then there is nothing to worry about, especially since you got the go ahead from the dealer. To relieve some stress on the bumper you can attach a strap somewhere on the bike rack and tie it off to the back of the trailer. This will help take stress off the bumper and add a little peace of mind. You could use straps like # 05605 or stabilization strap # 18050.

• Recommended Folding 2 Inch Cargo Carrier for UTV to Carry Game
  When used on a UTV to carry game, I recommend the Viking Solutions Tilt-N-Go II Hauler and Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - 300 lbs # 310-VTG002. This carrier allows you the option of moving the game to your UTV. If you just want a basic folding carrier, then I recommend the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Steel - Folding - 500 lbs # C18109. With either option, you may want the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 5-1/2' - 300 lbs - Qty 4 # 05605 to...

• Will Thule Hitch Bike Rack, # TH9056, Work On A Travel Trailer
  The manufacturer (Thule) does not recommend that any Thule hitch bike rack be used on a trailer or any other towed vehicle. So you will not want to use the Thule Hitch Bike Rack, # TH956, on your travel trailer. I do have a Swagman Original 4 Bike Rack, # S64400, that can be used on the back of a travel trailer. It will fit 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch trailer hitches. You will want to check the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your trailer, so you will not exceed the specifications for...

• Can the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket Carry 5 Gallons of Gasoline?
  The Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket - 19" Long x 43" Wide # SPSJ4319 has a 100 lb capacity so it absolutely can carry your 5 gallon can of gas. This carrier however is not intended for off-road use, so if used in that capacity you will be operating outside of the warranty and you will want to make sure the weight is as centered as possible to reduce torque on the shaft and mount. I recommend using the Erickson Roof-Rack Cargo Net - 36" x 48" # EM01010 for loose items and tie down...

• Actual Loaded Cargo Weight Capacity When Using Pro Series 63153 on 2009 Subaru Forester
  The actual amount of cargo weight you can load on a hitch-mounted carrier like the Curt # C18150 or the Pro Series # 63153 can be determined by taking the vehicle/hitch tongue weight (TW) rating and from that subtracting the weight of the cargo carrier itself. Let's say your hitch's safety sticker says it has a TW capacity of 350-lbs. From this you will subtract the weight of your chosen carrier, 50-lbs for the Curt and 55-lbs for the Pro Series, leaving you with an available cargo weight...

  Yes, the Erickson Over-The-Cab Truck Bed Ladder Rack # EM07707 will fit your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi (both the 6-1/2ft and the 8-foot bed). It is important to note that the hardware to install the bed rail clamps to the bed are not included with this kit. For tie-down straps for for the ladder rack, I recommend the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps w/ S-Hooks - 1" x 5-1/2' - 300 lbs - Qty 4 # 05605.

  The cargo carrier part # CC-100 has a platform that is 23 by 60 inches. As long as you secured the bikes adequately to the carrier you would have no problem carrying them. For a cargo net you could use the # H9500100 and/or for straps the # 05605. Check out the review video I attached.

• Transporting 13.5-foot Kayak in High Winds Using Sportrack J-Stacker Kayak Carrier
  I spoke to my contact at Thule for any information to address your concern about the stability of your 13.5-foot kayak in the J-style carrier when driven in high winds. Although Thule does not specifically apply wind ratings to their kayak carriers, it was suggested that the J-style that you are using would likely be a best option. After discussing your safety concerns with one of their technical staff we agreed that the simplest solution is the addition of supplementary tie-down straps....

• Will the Swagman # S80600 Hold an Adult Tricycle on a 2017 Coachmen 21 ft Freedom Express
  The Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack # S80600 that you referenced will be able to accommodate your Tricycle with the 28 inch wheel span. My contact at Swagman verified this. Since this is a bolt-on installation I also recommend using the Cable Lock # e98891 to add some security to your setup. You can use the Erickson Cam Buckle Tie-Down Straps # 05605 to help secure your Tricycle to your bike rack. To verify if it is compatible with your 2017 Coachmen 21 ft Freedom Express...

• Will Surco RV Ladder-Mount 2-Bike Rack # SP501BR Carry 2 Beach Cruisers Without Trailer Contact
  Beach cruiser-style bikes typically have wide handlebars that will almost surely come into contact with some part of the rear of your trailer if mounted on a ladder-mount type rack. For this type of bike a better option may be a bumper-mount rack or a hitch-mount rack. If your RV has a 4- to 4-1/2-inch continuously-welded steel bumper (not a spot welded or aluminum bumper) then you can use a bumper-mount carrier like the Swagman # S80605. This rack bolts on with included hardware and can...
