Question:

Hello. I have 4 fairly expensive bikes I want to transport at the back of my travel trailer. The trailer has a reinforced welded hitch installed by a professional. I was looking at a bike rack that preferably has a platform so the bikes dont rub against each other. Is there something STURDY that I can use, where the bikes will NOT be damaged by banging/rubbing against each other? Thanks.

The best hitch mounted option we offer for the rear of a travel trailer for 4 bikes is the Yakima Longhaul part # Y02476. This rack has anti-sway cradles built into the rack as well which prevents them from hitting each other while travelling. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

We don't have any 4 bike platform racks for the rear of an RV at this time so that's not a solution I can provide you with.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
