• Difference Between Stromberg Carlson CC-275 And Swagman Straddler S80503 A-Frame Bike Racks
  Hello Tyler, great question. The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack # CC-275 and the Swagman Straddler # S80503 are quite similar. They are essentially two different manufacturers version of the same A-frame mounted bike rack. Aside from a few minor design differences, they have the same weight capacity and will mount in the same location. The Swagman Straddler # S80503 has a more solid design with the receiver welded to the top of the crosstube rather than the bottom....

• Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
  I have a great option for you. When using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275 there are a few parameters you will need to stay within. The bike rack needs to be travel trailer rated, fit a 2" hitch and the combined weight of the bike rack and your bikes needs to be less than 100 lbs. Given these parameters I recommend the Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack # B01748. This 2 bike rack is the lightest weight of the racks that are rated...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch And Bike Carrier For Forest River R Pod
  I recommend first installing a trailer hitch on the back of your Rpod, and then a hitch mounted bike carrier. The trailer hitch I recommend is the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch, part # 13703. This will work with RVs that have a frame width between 22 and 72 inches. The hitch can be bolted on or welded on. The bike carrier I recommend is the Let's Go Aero VeeMe V2 2-Bike Rack, part # VME-V2. This rack is RV rated and has a weight capacity of 50-lbs per bike. This rack weight just...

• Recommended Trailer Mounted Bike Rack For A-Frame Trailers
  If you add a dual receiver adapter like the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 to your Toyota Tacoma, it will not only add the tongue weight, but will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 which will allow you to use your current rack, and will add that trailer tongue weight, but will not reduce your hitch's tongue weight...

• 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 Swagman Trailhead, # S63381. 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).

• Recommended Bike Rack for the Front of a 2016 Forest River Vibe
  Hey Bryan. To attach a bike rack to the tongue of your 2016 Forest River Vibe, I recommend the Lets Go Aero Jack-It TS TwinSpin Bike Rack for 2 Bikes item # LGA23VR. This bike rack is going to attach to the same pointing point your jack does. It will raise the bikes up over your jack and completely out of the way of your propane tanks. The Lets Go Aero item # LGA23VR has a 40 lbs per bike capacity and works with tires up to 2-3/4". The carrier itself weighs only 38 lbs. What kind of...

• Recommended 4-Bike Rack Setup For A 2015 Flagstaff Microlite 25BHS
  The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100lbs Item # CC-275 has a max weight capacity of 100lbs so it wouldn't be able to support the bike rack and 4 bikes. Instead you can install a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" Item # C13701 if your frame distance falls between 18-51", if not let me know and we can find an alternative. Once you have the hitch installed you can insert the Swagman...

• Roof Rack Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Dodge Durango with Factory Crossbars
  A 4 bike rack on the front of a travel trailer really wouldn't be possible. We have bunk adapters like the # CC-275 but you wouldn't have the needed clearance for 4 bikes most likely. Is it possible to install a roof rack style of bike rack on your vehicle?

• Highest Capacity Tongue Mounted Bike Rack for a E-Bike
  Hey Ryan. I have a solution but our highest capacity tongue mount bike racks like item # LGA47ZR or item # LGA55VR top out at 40 lbs per bike. The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk item # CC-275 only has a 100 lbs capacity and that includes the actual bike rack so it won't work either. Instead, I recommend using the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch item # 325-GH-315 and the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack item # HLY64FR. The bike rack can be mounted in the top...

• Solution To Allow Weight Distribution System to be Used While Carrying Bike Rack
  I have a solution that will allow you to continue using your weight distribution system and carry a bike but you can't use a dual hitch adapter with a weight distribution system. One solution is the bunk adapter for your trailer part # CC-275. This attaches to the a-frame of your trailer and then gives you the ability to carry a bike rack above it like what you see in the picture I attached. Or you could attach a bike rack to the shank of your WD system like the Swagman Traveler XCS part...

• 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...

• Recommended Bike Rack for Tongue of R-Pod With Electric Tongue Jack
  To mount a bike rack to the tongue of your R-Pod you will want to start out by using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275. This will give you a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening for you to use a bike rack with. From the top of the A-frame of your R-Pod to the top of the cross tube is 33-1/2 inches, which should clear your electric tongue jack, and it has a weight capacity of 100 lbs. The bike rack that I recommend using with...

• Bike Rack Solution for Oliver Elite II Travel Trailer
  The towing capacity restrictions of the Curt ball mount part # D210 are pretty odd but basically if you were to use it with a bike rack like the XTC # S64670 you mentioned the capacity would not be reduced. I really like the Lippert Jack-It part # LC429756 for people in your situation though as it gives you a way to carry a couple bikes above the propane tanks and does not affect the towing capacity.

• Will Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Work With Yukon XL
  Hi Todd; it will likely work with your Yukon XL but you will have to mock it up/measure to see. Also, it may limit the turning radius depending on your trailer and the exact bike rack you have. We don't have a way of knowing this without measuring or directly testing it. The distance from the top of the A-frame to the top of the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Bike Rack # CC-275 is 33-1/2". Measure 33-1/2" up from the point you plan to mount it and you will see where it sits on the trailer....

  Hello Craig, The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 that you were looking at would definitely work for what you are trying to accomplish.

• What Does Benton Littleshift Bike Rack Weigh
  Hey Jim, the Benton Littleshit part # B54VR that you referenced weighs 25 lbs. It is in the description but it's easy to miss so no worries! This will work great with a bike bunk part # CC-275. What kind of bike do you have?

• Towing a Trailer using Weight Distribution and Carry Bikes at the Same Time with 2011 GMC Acadia
  First, using a weight distribution system only maximizes what the hitch and vehicle can tow but it does not increase the tongue weight capacity rating of the hitch or vehicle. If the vehicle is rated for a maximum of 600 pounds with or without weight distribution then that is the max capacity you have to go by. You can potentially lower the tongue weight by moving weight rearward on the trailer if possible. At 3,500 pounds the tongue weight could be 350 to 525 pounds if not more due to...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
  Because the # CC-275 bike bunk has a pretty limited weight capacity at 100 lbs, so you'll want to find a fairly light bike rack. I'd recommend the Curt # C18085. The Curt has capacity for 2 bikes weighing 45 pounds each. Please let us know if you have further questions. We'd be happy to help.

• Can the Bike Bunk be Used for a Kuat Bike Rack on a Lance Camper Pulled by a Yukon XL
  Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out! The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 is a great way to get both your trailer and bikes to your campground, and it will work as long as your bike rack is rated for a trailer. For example, the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR has been approved for use at the back of a trailer. It weighs in at 37 lbs so your bike's combined weight would need to be no more than 63 lbs to safely use this. If you let me know what bike rack you have, I'd be more than happy to check...

• Is Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Compatible With Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk
  Any bike rack used with the # CC-275 would need to be rated for a travel trailer. Unfortunately, the # NV22B does not have that rating. What you can use instead is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR. This rack may not be as nice as the NV 2.0 but it will get the job done and is compatible with a travel trailer. Keep in mind, the # CC-275 only has a capacity of 100 lbs. Since the bike rack itself weighs 37 lbs that only leaves 63 lbs for your bikes.

• Is the Weight Capacity Include the Weight of the Bike Rack for Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk?
  Hello Mel, The 100 pound weight capacity for the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 would include the overall weight that it can handle, so the weight of the rack and the weight of the bikes. I am happy to look up the weight of your bike rack if you let me know exactly which one you have. Also, a good way to keep the weight down on the e-bikes would be to take the batteries off during transport, most of the e-bike...

• Can the Height of the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Bike Rack Carrier Be Lowered?
  Hey Julia. The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier item # CC-275 is not adjustable. It measures 33-1/2" from the top of your A-frame trailer to top of the cross tube. As an alternative, the Swagman Straddler Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier item # S80503 can be lowered.
