Question:

I have a 2017 Forest River R-pod and am looking for a bike rack, manufacturer has a recommended item which is a Hi lander weekender for the rear hitch, do you have a recommendation? I have been unable to locate such an item on the internet with that name and do want to see what it looks like before I jump into one

I'd recommend you use the Bike Rack Bunk adapter part # CC-275 to allow you to carry a bike rack over the propane tanks of your R-Pod.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this adapter is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's 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.
