Bring along your bikes with this RV bumper mounted rack

Bicycles are a wonderful way to enhance your RVing experience. Once you set-up camp it's nice to be able to "get around" with alternative transportation (and it's healthy too).

There are many ways to bring bicycles along. Folding bikes can be stored inside RV compartments but the most used method by far are external bike racks. There are ladder racks, bumper racks and hitch mounted racks.

Don and Carol Huck from St. Genevieve, Missouri elected to build their own bicycle rack for the bumper of their Coachmen travel trailer. It is a simple design employing "U" bolts to attach the rack to the rear bumper.Here is a view from the under side. This method will allow them to remove the bike rack since it is not permanently attached. The bicycle wheel channels are made from two pieces of one inch angle iron welded together with cross members. The rack includes two vertical stability bars to which the bikes are strapped.
