Can Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack be Used on 5th Wheel Toy Hauler  

Updated 03/08/2022 | Published 03/06/2022



Question:

I have questions about the Curt C18087. Wondering if it will work with a 5th wheel toy hauler in the back of the trailer on a 2 hitch.

Expert Reply:

For your application I recommend going with the Thule Range 4 Bike RV Rack # TH9057. The Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack # C18087 will technically fit, but Curt hasn't approved this rack for use on a towable trailer like your 5th wheel toy hauler like Thule has with the Range. This is due to the extra movement found at the hitch receiver on towable trailers.

If any of your bikes lacks the horizontal top tube that you find on a standard men's bike you'll need to utilize an adapter bar like part # TH982XT to properly install your bike(s) and make sure they all have the proper ground clearance.

5th Wheel Approved 4 Bike Rack Recommendation

At this time we do not. This is due to the harsher ride quality found at the rear of fifth wheel trailers. Would a roof mounted bike rack work for one of the bikes? If so what vehicle do you have what's it's roof look like.
