Question:

I just bought a 2017 Rockwood Roo about 4 weeks ago. Will this work to mount on the frame for a bike rack? Or should I us a tongue mounted?

Expert Reply:

Since Curt trailer hitch # C13702 is a universal type of product you have to look at the installation instructions and compare them to your trailer to determine fit. I have linked the installation instructions for you.

If the bumper on your trailer is 4-1/2 x 4 inches then you can use # BA-100 but with these you have to be careful not to exceed the capacity of the bumper (if it is rated for weight carrying).

Another option is the bike bunk # CC-275 which mounts to the front A-frame of the trailer. It is rated for 100 pounds so I recommend a bike rack that is very light such as the Swagman XC # S64650.

Also, it is important to note that any bike rack used on the trailer will have to be approved for use at the back of an RV or trailer. Not all bike racks are. I have included a link to the ones that are rated for use at the back of an RV/trailer.
