Trying buy a bike rack for a 2012 Nissan NV2500 tall cargo van converted to rv. Like the Thule Elite Van XT and can’t find a fit. Do you know if this rack will fit? TH302013

Expert Reply:

The van-mounted rack you mentioned won't fit your 2012 Nissan NV 2500, but we do have a way for you to carry a bike rack, which is with a hitch and hitch-mounted rack. Let's start with the hitch, and the best option that fits your NV 2500 is from Draw-Tite:

- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75715

The reason the Draw-Tite is the best for your van is because it offers the most ground and bumper clearance for your rack, which is going to keep it safe from contact with both your van and the ground. Then for a bike rack, you will need an RV-approved rack, and since you were looking at a platform-mounted 2-bike rack, a really good option is from Swagman:

- Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683

The Chinook is a no-nonsense rack that simply does the job; it is a frame-mounted rack so if you have bikes with fenders it can carry them, as well as a 45 lb per-bike weight capacity for heavier bikes. The Chinook even has locks in its ratcheting hooks and a lock at the hitch pin to keep your bikes secure.
