Best Car RV And Camper Bike Racks

Heavier than I thought it be. Very solid feel. Will be putting to use behind 5th wheel in about three weeks. Not sure about the locking cable. It locks the hinge post but not the rack itself. The 1/2" pin for upright can be remove and rack is gone. Looking for another lock for it.

Works great! Our bikes have low cross bars so it took a bit to figure out the "sweet spot" for the holding arms. Finally get the bikes out of the camper when traveling; yipee!

This carrier works very well for those situations where a ladder-mounted bike rack is the only option. It took a couple of trials to find the best placement of the bikes on the rack. It would be ideal if the horizontal bars were a little longer so the bikes could be kept further away from the back wall of the travel trailer and separated a little more from each other. Nevertheless this rack works well and I use cut pool noodles and bungies to hold the bikes firmly in position and to guard the contact locations between the bikes, rack and trailer. The cradles can be slid anywhere on the horizontal bar for ideal placement with your specific bikes. It would be good if there was way to hold them in place so they don't move while mounting the bikes or after install. Based on the few times we have used this rack, I would recommend it in a ladder-mounted application.

Works great oh the back of my RV, will need a motorcycle tie down to secure it from swinging but overall ... a great product. This has been from MI to FL and back 2 times.

Love the rack. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for - it’s light weight, adjustable, and easily removable. I was also looking for a bike rack that could go on one door opposed to a trailer hook rack, and this rack is perfect. Additionally, shipping was fast and customer service was great.

Yes I did receive the racks and they look great, my husband put them on and his comments were he wished the screws were longer, and the latch down loops were tough to get hooked over the bikes. Also we thought it would be nice if it came with some pads to keep the bikes from banging together or against our spare. Overall we lke the product, and the construction it seems sturdy and we like that it swings out of the way for ladder access. Your service was very prompt, which is always appreciated.

Installation was very straightforward and the rack is very stout. I can remove the propane tank without dismantling the rack.

Unconventional Use. This was purchased not to hold bikes but as a frame to hold flag poles which were affixed to it with off the shelf hardware. The actual receiver tube will be used for a custom camp site sign identifying our family. Overall the frame exceeded our expectations for quality and functionality. I cannot comment on its originally designed use, but for what we use it for it was the perfect choice.

I needed a small bike rack for my 5th wheel. I came to etrailer as my trusted source for info and availability since we live full time on the road. Plus these are hard to find in brick and mortar stores since COVID. I ordered the rack on a Sunday and received a confirmation and tracking number before I went to bed!! The package even arrived a day early. The rack is more sturdy than I had expected and look forward to safe transport of my bike. I also like I now have the ability to mount and use it on the rear of my pickup if needed. This is a 5 star rack but gets only 4 stars due to my one issue. The only issue was a small amount of what looks like welding slag in the threaded attachment hole to the trailer. (see picture) Having no other option, I just forced/re-threaded the bolt during installation. Since I hope to not need to remove the rack, I am just hoping for the best in the future.

Product is better and sturdier than I expected. I was shocked at how fast it shipped. It was extremely well packaged. I have not seen this type of care in shipping for a long time. I am very happy with the product especially at the price. It had several features I was looking for: 1. It is rigid to the hitch with no flopping. 2. The bikes can be securely locked to the carrier. 3. The unit can easily be locked to the hitch (with the additional locking bolt that I would recommend purchasing. 4. When not in use it can easily be stored FLAT in the storage area of my RV without taking up a lot of room. I would highly recommend etrailer and this bike carrier. I will be doing additional business with etrailer in the future!

So far, so good. I just received this last week and installed it on the back of my fifth wheel. We have four bikes (2 adult bikes and two kids bikes), and fitting all four of the bikes on the racks took some creativity but it was possible. The rack seems very sturdy, but we will see if it stands the test of time as we are full-time RVers who travel about 6,000 miles per year. Our last bike rack (Swagman XTC4) was completely worn out after about 14,000 miles of use on the back of our fifth wheel.

I hate this bike rack. For a heavy is at it, 40 lbs, it is junk, wobbles and moves around like crazy. If you need an overpriced boat anchor, this will fit the bill. Better to cut the rope when you leave it. Terrible tolerances. I bought the chincy locking ring they want to sell you and it did absolutely nothing. Don't put a nice bike on it because you'll be sorry. Honestly I try to avoid etrailer whenever possible at this point. Why can a hitch fit well but this is really undersized and the fit it terrible

I was going to go with 4 stars due to frame issues but that’s on my end. After fitting I had to remove my spare tire from under the frame to position clamps. One drawback is the width of the receiver cross bar width, in order to meet the uprights has to be considered where the placement will allow on the frame. So I had to dodge the spare tire and welded battery frame bit managed to fit it. Upon reading reviews I upgraded the bar bolts to a stronger bolt and swapped out the frame nuts to locking style.

Definitely requires some assembly. Make sure the trailer is level when mounting it the first time. Works well with my pop-up trailer and I am able to mount the rack facing the trailer giving me extra room between my car and trailer. I was impressed by how strong and stable it is. Only downside, it interferes with my tongue jack on my trailer and I am unable to lock into the "stored" position for driving. I have use a tie-strap to secure the jack.

Just got our ebike loaded up on the new bike rack, look like it going to be a nice setup for our bikes. This is a replacement rack for our Thule rack we had for 7 years. The Hollywood rack is rated so we can put it behind our motor home.

We love our Hollywood RV Rider Bike Rack. We have loaded it on our 87 Jeep Wrangler, our ‘06 Lexus, and our ‘83 Pilot. It is a perfect fit on all three! We needed the extra length to clear our rear mount tire on our Jeep. It worked! We have taken our 4”fat tire e-bikes on many roads from northern Idaho to southern Arizona. The bikes travel well and sturdy on this heavy weight rack. We feel very confident that they stay in place. We are able to load our bikes in a few minutes and hit the road in no time. It is very easy to load. We recommend using the bar grip extenders (which came in the package) to compact the storage area. This rack comes with a tip mechanism to allow you to tip the bikes down to access the rear trunk or hatchback.

Unfortunately, I cannot make a great review for this bike rack. Two issues. The first, even though it is ‘designed’ for four bicycles, getting three on there is more realistic. The second issue is that it hasn’t held up very well. One of the support bars that the bikes rest on actually bent. The bike rack is supposed to be able to carry four bicycles and we only used it for two adult and a child’s bike. I am considering replacing it with a supporting design instead of this hanging design.

Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike rack on 2015 Nissan Xterra. Solidly built, easy to install and carry two mountain bikes. Stable at 75 mph and over bumps. An excellent value.

This purchase was to have a rack we can use when we need to bring single bikes in addition to or instead of our tandem. We have used it about a dozen times and it has been a great solution. Easy to store and set up and the wheel mount eliminates any issues with having a horizontal frame member to hang from. We've heavily loaded it several times including wedging our bike trailer between the bikes.

Great customer service, answered all my questions! I’m very happy with my bike rack!

I tried two other brands of bike racks on our Travel Trailer. They were simply too weak to handle the sway and bouncing that happens at the back of a Travel Trailer. This one is perfect. Well-built and very sturdy and it holds 4 mountain bikes for road trips of several hundred miles without any issues.

After much research trying to find a RV bike rack rated to go on a trailer, I found this one. After using it for a year, I would say it functioned average ant best. I only put 3 non-electric bikes one it, just to be safe. Unfortunately, 1500 miles into a 2200 mile trip last week, the latch that holds the arms horizontal broke and the bikes were pinched between the upright and arms. The rack is now unusable. I am very lucky not to lose any bike and cause an accident, although they did get pretty beat up before I could stop. I usual love anything I purchase at etrailer but I cannot recommend this product.

I like this rack because it’s a good size and is built sturdy I had to extend my bumper out 6 inch’s in order to install the mounting brackets because my bumper was so close to my trailer but it was worth it to get the extra storage.

Oversize your holes for pins to allow for powder coat build up. Possible an additional fold up Stantion for the back side (camper side) to protect camper. Good quality, great paint. Tighter tolerance on the stantions would make the user feel a little more secure but works well.

This rack is defintely durable. We've had it for a year and it has worked great. The only issue is if you have youth or women's bikes. My bike (GT Mountain) has more than enough space for the rack but my son's bike (Trek Mountain) and my wife's (Shwinn) are very hard to load because of the space between the forks and the upright for the seat. I have gotten it to a science now that i've had it for a year but if you own specialized bikes (Youth or women's) your gonna find it hard to load and 4 bikes at the same time is gonna be almost impossible unless you start taking wheels off. They have a bar that they sell separately that goes from the seat post to the handlebars but i haven't purchased it yet. All in all it works pretty well. Pic is with only 2 bikes

Not RV rated. Mine bent on the main tube going up and the arms going out holding the bikes. I contacted etrailer and Yakima without any warranty support. Both stating I loaded the bikes incorrectly. etrailer's website does not provide any instructions for how it should be loaded. Rating is for 37.5lbs per bike and you can not go over that limit even 0.5lbs. Good thing I didn't have 4 full size bikes on there. I purchased Yakima specifically because of the name brand but I guess it is what it is.

It's been just over a year tha I purchased my Swagman two-bike rack for my 5th wheel. The customer service I received form "etrailer" was exemplary. I had questions about the size and my CSR actually called the manufacturer got the answer and called me back! The rack was an easy mount requiring one wrench, two hands and about ten minutes. It's sturdy, looks great and functions flaulessly! Although it isn't a suggested procedure, at 265 pounds I stand on mine to wash my back window. Of course I stand close to the bumper and not on the outter edge, but my point is, it's a very sturdy unit and is at a great price point. If you need a rack look no further than, etrailer and Swagman!

The bicycle rack mounted easily by myself without help from another person. It is very strong and holds our two bicycles just as I had hoped. I slipped a pool noodle over the upright support bar to prevent scratching the inside bicycle. The only thing I can suggest is that the product would have been better if it included the cover for the upright support pole and some strapping material to keep the bicycles solidly in place while traveling. The strapping material is not a big priority for me though because I have lots of it.
