Front Tongue Mounted Rack

I solved all my bike problems by ordering a tongue mounted rack out of Canada for my 13foot scamp. Before this I had a rack on the back of my trailer that bounced all over the place. I also tried it inside the car but the bike was a pain to take out for quick rides. Now It is right where I can get to it. I have attaced a picture.

We had a 2 inch receiver welded to the frame of our 17ft Casita. We carry a bike rack with 2 bikes on it without any problems. The 17ft Casita is very tongue heavy - our tongue weight runs about 410lbs (propane tanks full) - with the rack and bikes 400 lbs. No sway or other problems. The Orbital Machine Works rack looks pretty slick - we probably would have gone with that if it had been available (one of the company owners has a Casita).

Good Luck,
Kathie

Hi Deb, welcome to FiberglassRV! We're glad you're here

Cool, you jumped right in posting and added a picture!

Question, what brand is the bike tongue rack? Is there a website?

Never mind, found it: http://www.arvika.ca/
