Question:

We are looking for a 4 Bike Platform Rack that can be used on the back of our 5th wheel camper. Camper has a 2inch receiver. We have not had good luck with hanging style due to the sizes of our childrens mountain bikes.

As you may already know, bike racks that are used on the back of a trailer or RV must be approved for this purpose as the stress placed on them with this type of application will far outweigh the amount of stress for a bike rack placed on the back of a vehicle.

Unfortunately, we do not have any platform style bike racks that will hold 4 bikes on the back of an RV but I do still have an solution for you. The Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # Y02476 would be perfect for you. It would even work for your children's bikes using the adapter, Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # TH982XT. This bar attaches to your bike's seat post and handlebar stem post, providing a horizontal bar for the bike rack to grab. It allows you to carry women's and children's bikes level for a perfect fit.

This rack comes with a anti-rattle hitch lock and a built in cable lock to secure your rack and your bikes and these locks are keyed alike.
