Recommend Bike Rack To Use With Pop-Up Camper
Updated 11/29/2011 | Published 11/26/2011
Question:
I have a pop up camper with an AC system and I want to be able to tow two adult bikes and three kid bikes. Do you have a product for me? If you only have a 4 bike product that could work as I can put one of the smaller kid bikes in the back of the truck.

The item you selected, Swagman Pop Up Camper Roof Mount 4 Bike Rack, part # S80550, would be a good option to carry 4 of your bikes. You will want to measure to see if you will have space for the bike rack as it measures 65-1/2 inches long, 26 inches wide, and has clearance of 8-7/8 inches to the bottom of the rack. To carry the other bike, you could either use trunk bed bike rack or a roof mounted bike rack.
For a truck bed bike rack, I would recommend the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack, part # UG2500. The Topline rack is expandable to up to 4 bikes, using 2 of the Topline Add-A-Bike Assembly #AB2600. This way if you decide to go biking without your camper you can mount the bikes in the bed of your truck.
If you can send me the year, make and model of your truck, I can recommend a roof rack and roof bike rack.
I have linked instructions and a video review of the Swagman Pop Up Camper Roof Mount 4 Bike Rack, part # S80550. Also linked is a video review of the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack, part # UG2500.
