Bicycle rack

[WWilmes]

My wife and I are purchasing a new imagine 2600 RB and are looking for the best alternatives to mount a bike rack for two bicycles. Any suggestions?

We have a Swagman Semi 2.0 using it's adapter to the 2" hitch on back of our 2019 Reflection 28BH 5th wheel. Works well for our two adult size bicycles.

Welcome to the forum WWilmes. When you get a chance, check out the new member's letter here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/main-fo...to-new-members

One of the things you'll learn from the letter is how to search this forum. For example, I looked for "bike rack" and found a thread with input from none other than our very own GDRV-Emily. You can read the thread here: https://gdrvowners.com/forum/exterio...r-2021-imagine

Again, welcome, and as you move through the purchase process don't hesitate to post questions. That's why we're here!

Lippert Jack-It,

X2 on the Jack-It. The rear bumper on the Imagine is not strong enough to support any add on components and most bike racks are also not suitable for the rear of an RV where violent motion can be encountered.

For our XLS 22mle we didn’t want to add the weight of bikes to the rear bumper or spend too much money on a solution so we came up with this idea. It’s not perfect but not too expensive. It can hold two bikes but as you can see it’s tight with the slide closed so we load one and put the other one flat in the truck bed. We can still slip by to use the bathroom if needed.

If you have an SUV as your TV you can put the bikes in the back by removing the 3rd row seats, folding up a 2nd row seat, then using the bike stand and quick release fork mounts, second photo. We did that while towing our previous two TTs with our SUV.

Transporting in the trailer, I put cushions on both sides, a rubber mat under the rear tire stand and one under the quick release fork mount. I then tether the bike with bungie cords to the dinette table support which is fairly sturdy since it also acts as a bed.

Thanks for the pictures Tigger1 ! I am waiting on a new Diamondback aluminum bed cover for our truck and the Xport item looks like a great solution for me to carry our bikes on top of the cover. A $25.00 solution instead of a $400 rail and cross bar system.
