Swagman 4-Bike RV Bumper Rack

I bought this bike rack for a east coast tour of the U.S and have driven a total of 3000 miles. All the bike's have made it safe and sound during the whole trip. The rack is robust and mounts rigidly to your rv's bumper. I am very pleased with this product.

I bought this after searching for years for a bike rack that would not bounce like crazy on the back of our 30' 5th wheel RV and also allow us to keep our spare tire back there. Works perfectly. We put two adult bikes and a boy's bike on it.

My only negative (and the reason it is only 4 stars) for it are that they give you no good way to secure the bikes. Pretty much, prepare to buy several tie down ratcheting straps and do it like you need it. Seems odd to have to do this for a $150 bike rack. The vertical bars are not spaced correctly and have to be moved around to work right. They still work after you move them, but I suggest those water noodles to protect the bikes.

I know that I needed to add some wedge blocks behind the bumper between the bumper and the bolts to insure it is not sliding around while traveling. I have about 3/4" of extra space.
