Question:

We have a new 2015 Lance camper model # 1985 with dual propane tanks. We are towing with a blue ox tow system which has sway bars. The blue ox rep told us not to use the dual receiver from the tow vehicle. We want to bring 2 bikes camping with us. Which bike carrier would you recommend? the CC-275??? Would we need anything else? We dont want the bike pedals to swing free.

Expert Reply:

The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer # CC-275 that you referenced would be a great option for allowing you to carry a bike rack above the dual propane tanks of your trailer.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this carrier is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

You could use a strap like the part # SR54FR to secure the pedals of your bikes to the frame so that they don't swing freely.
