• Bike Rack to Fit at Rear of 2018 Keystone Bullet Premier 30 RIPR
  I really wish I could recommend a SeaSucker at the rear of an RV but the RV's have a much rougher ride quality that this rack is not rated for. Looks like your RV has a 4 inch square bumper though so you could instead install the Swagman bike rack part # S80501 which would work well as it is rated for RVs. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

• Best Bike Rack for a Leased SUV
  We certainly have trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2015 BMW X5, but any time a bike rack contacts a vehicle there is a potential for scratching.

The main causes for scratches or dents is dirt or debris that builds up between the bike rack pad and the vehicle or over-tightening or under-tightening...

Since the bar cradle is tapered it's hard to get an exact dimension where it would hold the bars. Since there isn't a way to secure the seat...

  I do have a roof rack option for you, however, you will not be able to use the Thule crossbars on your 1997 Toyota 4-Runner as they are not compatible with the EV models.

  There is not a Class I trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your vehicle from any of our manufacturers. As you stated the Class III # C13190 will also not fit due to the Active Curve System, so there is not a hitch option for you at this time. The only options we have that aren't roof mounted are the SeaSucker Hornet # 298-BH1302 or the SeaSucker Komodo # 298-BK1910-BK.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Acura MDX with Spoiler
  Yakima has confirmed that their HalfBack 2 Bike Rack, # Y02636, will fit on the 2012 Acura MDX with the rear spoiler and they say the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode for this vehicle. The concern with the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch is that most spoilers are not designed to hold additional weight. With trunk mounted bike racks, the straps pull on the spoiler, more so when the bikes are loaded. This can warp and deform plastic or lightweight spoilers....

• Best Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Sienna for Transporting 1 or 2 Bikes
  The best way to transport bikes on any vehicle is almost always a hitch. This is so because hitch-mount bike racks use the car's frame - its single strongest part - to handle the weight load of the rack and bikes instead of the car's relatively thin sheet metal. Once you add into the equation sometimes-delicate cosmetic features like spoilers hitch racks make a lot of sense. Still, if you're going to transport only 1 or 2 bikes of nominal weight then you can use a trunk-mount rack like...
