Choosing The Best
Camper Bike Rack

A good camper bike rack takes the hassle out of taking your bike along on your camping vacation. One sure way to ruin a vacation is to leave your bike along the highway in a mangled mess. It's a whole lot cheaper to get a good rack than to lose your favorite bike, or bikes, to a random pothole. And, there are enough choices to help you find the right one for your camper.

Here are the key questions that you need to ask yourself before getting a camper bike rack.

Is the camper yours or a rental?
How often do you plan to use it?
How many bikes do you want to transport?
Can you use it for different style bikes?
Do you have irregular shaped bikes like a recumbent or a tricycle?
Do you plan to carry other sports equipment as well?
Does your RV have a bumper mount receiver, roof-mounted utility rack or tow hitch? If it does then - what is the load capacity?
Can you lift the bikes, by yourself, and hold it in position with one hand while fastening?
How high can you lift it?
How heavy are your bikes?
Will you have sufficient clearance under overpasses etc if you use a roof rack?
How easy or difficult is the installation?
Will it be a permanent mount?

One of these styles should be a good match for your camper
