Question:
I have a Kuat Sherpa 2.0 bike rack on the back of my RV. When the bikes are loaded and covered the RVs rear lights and rear license plate are covered. Can you recommend tail lights and license plate holder for the bike rack? I have a 7 pin plug for lights on the back of the RV. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For the license plate, you have two options. You can use the Yakima PlateMate License Plate Holder for Bike Racks # Y02713. This uses a hook and loop strap to attach to your bikes or your rack and is quick, easy, and temporary. The downside to this style is that it isn't lighted, so you would either have to avoid driving at night or go with the second option.
The second option is a LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket # LPL55CB. This will require cable ties or drilling to secure the bracket and light to your bike rack.
For your tail lights, we have an LED light kit # 98174LED that comes with two lights and a 4 flat connection. You might want brackets like # 337LB1 to mount them more permanently.
Finally, since the light use a 4 way plug, the Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 will be useful to connect it to your 7 pin plug on your RV.
