Excellent product
Very sturdy and durable. Works perfectly. I would highly recommend this if like us you have a pop-up camper and can't attach a bike rack to the back bumper (too weak to support one). It is a bit challenging to install, but I can't see a way around it. They leave you to drill the holes in order to secure it to the trailer frame. So in order to allow it to be flexible to fit your exact trailer, the final hole to put in long screws through the tubing is left to the owner/consumer. The good news is that all the hardware to mount it and the framing is super strong and thick. A bit heavy, but rest assured it will hold your bikes securely.

Solid as a Rock. Terrible to Install
This is a great bike rack option for your travel trailer. My only complaint is that you have to custom drill the uprights. For the price, a template and a bit would have been a lifesaver. Getting a level drill through a hollow bar without a drill press is a terrible experience. I managed to get it installed and it is sturdy and worked well for over 500 miles this summer, but a little more attention to user install experience would make this a better product.

Works but read
I bought this to go with my new camper that does not have a rear bumper. It was on a deal of the day so only paid like 80 bucks for it. Installation isn't much of an issue as its a simple design and straight forward. You have bottom mounts that go on the outside of the A-Frame and brackets that bolt to the back of the A-Frame to hold in place. I ran into my first issue with the back brackets as I have an electric box on my frame that I couldn't relocate. To get around this I have 1 bracket at an angle instead of straight up and down, this allows the bottom bolt on one side to hold both brackets. I did add a piece of steel to fill the gap this created. So note that you may have issues if there are a lot of things on your frame.I tow my camper with a suburban and all the YouTube videos I found showed the camper with a pick up and you can clearly see the bikes hanging over the bed during sharp turns. This concerned me to the point I almost didn't buy it as I was afraid I wouldn't get my 4 bikes on the rack without hitting the back window of my Suburban. Took a chance when it went on lightning deal so I only paid 80 bucks so if I only could get 2 bikes on it wouldn't be hard or costly to put the other 2 on the SUV's roof rack.Well during installation my fears were realized, the bars that go between the bottom mount and the top bar are curved so you can turn them and accommodate a wide range of A-Frame sizes. Where I could mount the bottom mounts due to propane tanks, battery mounts, and an electric box pushed the top bar so far forward I risk hitting the tires of the bike with just 1 bike on let alone 4. To get the to bar as far back as possible meant doing some cutting and welding. I took almost a foot of each side of the top bar and remounted the mounting brackets to push the top bar as far back as possible (note to manufacturer, an adjustable top bar would be awesome).Lastly, it was a bit of a pain drilling thru the support bars so that I could put screws all the way thru to tighten it down. Not hard to do but took up time. Which I came across a review that said this is hard to remove if you have a camper with pull out beds in the front, I could see that being a problem, I don't have pull out beds but if you do you may have to cut the support bars shorter to get under the bed.All in all the set up of this product took longer as I had to modify it a lot to make it work for me. But for 80 bucks I am happy to report it did work. The pictures show that I got all 4 bikes on and had about 4 to 6 inches of clearance between bike tires and rear window during sharp turning, which may come to be a problem when my youngest gets to a full size bike but I can worry about that in a few years.

Very sturdy, high-quality A-frame.
I was very impressed with a quality of this frame. The wells were solid, the finish was exceptional, and all the hardware was included. I wish this would’ve fit my trailer, but between the propane tanks and my battery bank, I did not have enough room to mount and then add three bikes. I feel that my turning radius would’ve been compromised. Make sure you take measurements of your A-frame and determine the clearance. I wish this would have fit my rig!

Carries 160lbs with no problem after adding support brace
I was looking for a way to transport our bikes on our travel trailer and found this to be the best setup at a reasonable cost. I am not a fan of putting the bikes on the back of the trailer where you can't see them. It is also a lot rougher ride on the back bumper.Set-up took longer than I initially expected, but the results were worth it. You will need a 3/8 drill bit that is capable of drilling through metal. Also as many stated some of the bolts that are included are not long enough. (I think 2 to be exact). One downfall is this rack is only rated for 100lbs. When you take into account that a bike rack or other hitch attachment is going to be at least 20 lbs it leaves you with 80 lbs or less for cargo. I wanted this to haul 4 bikes on the front of my travel trailer. 4 bikes at roughly 35lbs each and a 20lb bike rack would put me at roughly 160lbs. I ended up fabricating an additional support bar that connects the bike rack to the steel crossmember bar on the trailer that the battery sits on. I have driven roughly 300 miles on the highway with no problems. The rack hardly moves and is very sturdy. (I loaded the bikes without the support bar on and there is a lot of back and forth movement) Another thing to keep in mind is the amount of tongue weight you will be adding. The rack itself is over 50lbs so I've added over 200lbs with 4 bikes.Overall I am very happy with the functionality of this rack. While it may not work for everyone the quality of the rack itself is great

No more shaking
We got rid of the bike rack shaking on the trailer bumper by easy installation of this amazing bike bunk. Sturdy and universal. Perfect solution

Good Strong Carrier
Goes together easily and worked well on my Coachman RV. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of paint on the underside of the receiver. I noticed some rust starting so I had to remove the top part and repaint it. Would have given it five starts.

works great!
works exactly as described. was a little concerned about bouncing along the highway with the weight of the bikes, but had no problems at all. very secure mounting. you need to drill holes for the securement bolts. just make sure everything is squared up and held with clamps before you start drilling and it should be ok. also of note, make sure there is adequate clearance between the front wall of the trailer and (for me at least) the battery trays. it ended up working out for me, but looked at a friends trailer after and realized that not everyone has the same space available. had to also remove the battery wire temporarily to get the brackets attached.

Cool mount but Hardware is inadequate. Upgrade before install.
Spent way more time installing this than I had hoped. It was a fussy and time consuming job to ensure everything was level and square, equal distances from each side and equal distance from the front of the trailer. Inadequate hardware ate up even more time.The product design and concept is fantastic though. I have loaded my bike rack and tested for fit with the SUV but have not road tested yet.To install this you do need to be fairly handy and comfortable drilling the 4 holes to install the final bolts once everything is lined up correctly where you want it.5 star rating for concept, design and universal fit options.1 star rating for the hardware...There is a major concern with the hardware provided for attaching to the trailer frame. These bolts are quite soft. When trying to tighten to the frame the threads strip easily and will not tighten. The heads of these bolts also round easily.I tried to tighten the bolts once everything was aligned but the threads stripped making them unable to be tightened adequately and the nuts could not be removed either. I ended up cutting 3 bolts off with a dremel grinder.So... after a trip to the hardware store for all new (proper) bolts, nuts and washers I then re-installed everything.Bottom line...Before installing, head to the hardware store to upgrade to new bolts, nuts and washers. I would not trust the hardware provided to ensure my expensive bikes were secured properly to the trailer.Once finally completed I painted all bolts, washers and the dings/scratches I created with black tremclad paint. I’m happy with the final fit and overall look.Update:We have just completed a camping trip with 400km+ with highway travel, secondary roads and also gravel roads in and around the campground. Plenty of bumps along the way and the rack held up well.Of note:We are using a Thule Vertex 2 Bike Rack attached to the mount.
