(Preview)

Bicycle Rack for rear of 5th Wheel? Any recommendations/suggestions/ideas
(Preview)
I'm looking for a rack to fit the 2" receiver on the rear of my 5th wheel. I don't need to carry more than 2 bikes. Prefer a rack that will accommodate a man's and woman's bike. Several I've read about do not work well with frames that have a sloped top tube. Any input is going to be helpful. Thanks Eric

I know it wouldn't help while boondocking, but it might when we have hook-ups. Any thoughts from others that have one o...
