Are Support Brackets Needed To Haul Bikes On The Rear Bumper Of A 2018 Keystone Passport Ultra Lite
Question:
We own a 2018 Keystone 2520RL Grand Touring Ultra Lite will we need the support brackets. To strengthen the 4 inch square tube that this mounts to? will only be using this hitch for our bike rack, only 2 bikes. I have seen pictures of other campers using this hotch and was wondering if they were advised that they might need the support brackets. Have seen no pictures in the ones that they subminted to you.

Expert Reply:
To determine if support brackets are needed to accommodate the weight of the bikes/rack you'd be placing in the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 you would need to contact Keystone and ask what the weight capacity of the rear bumper is. You could also reach out to a local fabrication/welding company and have them take a look/weld on some extra supports to ensure that the bumper can handle the weight.
