Bike Rack Solution for Mounting Bikes on an Accessory Tray on My Travel Trailer
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I love this trailer tray # CC-255, and I bought the Bike Rack Adapter Item # CC-125 to go on it. My fault the tray is 6inch too short! I found posts on RV forums suggesting mounting a tray-style bike rack to the Trailer Tray, but they dont say which one. Do you have any suggestions for one that might work with a minimum of modding? Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. You are definitely correct that the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers - 22-1/2" Jack Clearance # LC429756 requires you to remove the tray in order to install it on your 2017 Casita A-frame travel trailer.
If you want to keep the tray installed, I have a creative solution. Depending on the length of the tray, I recommend using the Bike Rack Adapter for Stromberg Carlson Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier # CC-125. Since it looks like you have a solid tray with no mesh underneath, you most likely need to drill/bolt the wheel carriers to the tray itself. If you happen to have a mesh surface, there will be a bit more fabrication that is involved since the bolts that come with the # CC-125 are specifically designed for Stromberg Carlson mesh cargo carriers. It is important to note that this adapter only fits bike tires up to 2-1/4" wide. This adapter also comes with straps to secure your bikes.
Also, it is crucial to make sure that your cargo tray has enough weight capacity to support your bikes.
I went ahead and attached a demo video that shows how the adapter works.
