Question:

Description says 37.5 lbs per bike, but what is the max allowable weight the bike rack can handle? It should be 37.5 X 4= 150 lbs. I didn’t see this spec in the details.

I confirmed with Yakima that the maximum overall weight capacity of the LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # Y02476 is 150 pounds. However, it is important to note that you should not exceed the per-bike weight capacity of 37.5 pounds on the Range 4. For example, if you wanted to load a single bike that weighs 40 pounds on the rack, the rack cannot support that bike even though it falls under the overall weight capacity of 150 pounds.

If you are planning on using women's bikes, children's bikes, or step-thru frames, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005. This adapter gives your bikes a straight, horizontal mounting plane that is required for the arms on the Range 4.

If you need a compatible 2-inch hitch receiver on your 2021 Grand Design Reflection, we do not have any customized fits. With that being said, we do have a universal fit hitch like the Curt Hitch - 2" # 13703. This hitch comes with adjustable brackets that adjust to fit 22-72 inch frames. In order to make sure that your trailer is compatible, I recommend measuring the width of your frame from end-to-end.
