Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Bicycle Rack for Class C Towing a Vehicle
Permalink  

Looking for ideas for carrying one adult bike (and ideally a step ladder) on my class C.   The class C has a receiver used to tow a vehicle and no mounted ladder on the motorhome.   Have asked rv dealer and rv manufacturer about adding a ladder and both have advised not to do it. (nothing solid to mount ladder to.)   I really don't want to haul the bike on my toad (that's what we do currently but I'd like it to stay on the motorhome if possible).  Was thinking of having something custom built to attach to motorhome frame and support the bike (and maybe a stepladder) above the tow bar.   Seems like a hassle?   Hydralift?  Looking for ideas..............

We use a Blue OX bike rack. Get the tall version to get extra clearance between bike and tow bar. We bought an additional base mount so we can move the vertical rack from the RV to the TOAD if we want to drive to a trailhead. If you bought the three or four bike version you could probably hang a ladder on it and the bike.

I have a bike carrier made by Swagman that fits on the outside of the receiver. You can carry your bikes and tow at the same time. I don't know if they still make it or not. If you stop by Palisiade CO I will make you a heck of a deal on it. Comes with cover. Holds three bikes as I recall.
