Question:
I didnt see a reply today so am wondering if I made an error in my email address. Im wondering about the Kuat Beta - Aluminum Folding 2 Bike Rack for 2inch Trailer Hitches - Gun Metal Gray for the rear of my ETI Escape 19. I noticed that other folks on the Escape discussion boards have used Kuat Alpha but I cant find that for comparison. Is there a recommended way to lock the rack to the trailer and the bikes to the rack? Do you have any customers who are using it successfully behind an RV or travel trailer? Thanks so much!

I can definitely help you, but I searched our system for your email and wasn't able to find you so most likely the email address you originally listed was incorrect.
The Kuat Beta # B202-2 that you referenced is not rated for use behind an RV or trailer. The reason being that the ride there is much rougher than when compared to a passenger vehicle.
Instead, I would recommend the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476. It will work on Motorhomes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers.
