Hi Robert, I took a look at the dimensions for the RockyMounts Monorail Solo part #RKY10007 and based off its measurements it'll stick out too far when folded up to fit within the foot of space that you have between your truck and garage door.…

Hi John, I totally understand. The Thule T2 Pro XTR part #TH69TX is a fantastic rack, but at 96 pounds it's definitely a workout every time you put it on or take it off the vehicle. If your main goal is to cut as much weight as possible, the…
Hey Elis, thanks for reaching out. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE #HLY74FR is not recommended for carbon fiber bikes because it uses padded frame hooks to secure the bikes. Those hooks put pressure directly on the frame, which can damage carbon…

Hey Tony, you would need to go with an E-bike rack that is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of RVs like what you have like with the Lets Go Aero part #LGA25VR . What e-bikes do you have?
Set up your ride with class 2 hitch bike racks that use a frame mount to hold bikes securely without touching fenders. Securing by the frame keeps things simple and steady for varied bike styles. For a smooth fit, check your bike's weight and wheelbase against the rack specs, especially if you run heavier e-bikes or long-wheelbase mountain bikes.
Yes, frame-mount racks secure bikes by the frame and can work with step-through and heavier bikes. Check that the clamp or bracket can go low enough for a low step-through. Verify the rack's bike weight rating before loading an e-bike. If needed, adjust assembly steps so the bracket positions correctly for your frame style.
Often, yes if the rack tilts down, but not typically when folded up. Check for a tilt feature and test clearance with your vehicle when the rack is down and unloaded. Expect better access with the rack down; folded positions can limit hatch opening. Measure your bumper and handle clearance to be sure.
Plan some time; initial assembly can be straightforward but a bit cumbersome. Follow the instructions and set clamp height for your frame style. Use the included straps or extra strapping to help reduce movement. Check that any sliding stabilizers or saddles are retained so they can't slip off during use.
Yes, look for a 1.25 inch rack for a Class 2 receiver. Confirm the hitch size on your vehicle matches the rack shank. If your hitch is 1.25 inch only, avoid adapters. Make sure the rack mounts securely in the receiver and check for any included anti-wobble or bolt options to help reduce movement.
