Recommended RV Ladder Mounted Bike Rack for 5th Wheel Trailer
Updated 05/21/2025 | Published 07/01/2020
Question:
i have purchased a 2020 Jayco 5th wheel, model 28.5 RSTS. could you please tell me which ladder rack you would recommend for carring two adult bikes. we pull a small kayak trailer and we cannot use a hitch mounted rack due to clearance issues to the front of the kayaks, So a ladder rack seems to be our only solution, unless you additional recommendations, thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
Unless you used a front mounted receiver and a hitch mounted bike rack to carry the bikes on the front of your tow vehicle, a ladder mounted bike rack like the Stromberg Carlson # LA-102 is going to be your best bet. The rack is compatible with ladders with vertical supports up to 1" in diameter. The rack can carry two bicycles up to 25 lbs apiece. If your ladder and bikes meet those parameters, the Stromberg Carlson would be a great choice for you.
If the idea of using a front mount hitch and hitch mounted bike rack appeals to you, you could reply with the year, make and model of your tow vehicle and I'd be happy to make a recommendation.
