Are Saris bike racks RV approved?

Q: Can you put a bike rack on the front of an RV?

Its absolutely possible to mount a bike, even multiple bikes, on the front of your truck or motorhome. The best way to do this is with a front-mounted trailer hitch. Just like the receiver hitch on the back of a vehicle, you can use a front-mounted hitch to mount a winch, tow bar, or bike rack.

Can you use a car bike rack on RV?

Your RV may be able to accommodate a bumper-mounted rack. These racks can carry two or more bikes, attach directly to the RV bumper and are available in hanging and platforms styles. A popular benefit of the bumper-mounted rack is that after installed, it leaves the rear ladder open for both roof and cargo access.

Why are some bike racks not RV rated?

Expert Reply: Only certain bike racks are rated by the manufacturer for use behind RVs or trailers. This is simply because the ride at the rear of an RV is significantly rougher when compared to the rear of a standard passenger vehicle.

Can you put a bike rack on the back of a travel trailer?

Bumper-Mount Racks Usually best for travel trailers and fifth wheels that don't have a rear hitch receiver, these racks mount directly to your trailer's rear bumper. They appear similar to hitch racks from afar, but they are secured by bolting around your welded bumper rather than inserting them into a hitch.
