 Perfect fit for our need!Dec 07, 2010
By Scott Floyd

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. This space is needed to make sure it fits an assortment of bumpers, so it is not that big of a deal, but Swagman should consider offering some type of spacer to tighten it up that is secure instead of me having to make wooden wedges that hopefully stay put.
The positives outweigh the negatives for me, but a few small changes on Swagman's part would make this a 5 star, must have piece for RVers.

 Great productMay 28, 2010

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.

Not a bad bike rack!Sep 20, 2010
By Richard A. Huber
We purchased this rack after purchasing a ladder style bike rack for our Travel Trailer. The ladder on the back of the camper is to close to the side to use a ladder rack so we went with this bumper mounted rack. I e-mailed Swagman and asked if this rack would work with a bumper mounted spare tire and they assured me that it would. It does but, you have to do a lot of adjusting and you will get your bike's on. This is a four bike rack but, with the spare tire you can only get two adult size bikes on it. The rack is very sturdy and assembly is a breeze. We only carry two bike's so this worked ok for us. We will use this until something better comes along.

Excellent QualityNov 28, 2011
By Jim
Excellent build quality and very, very sturdy. I was able to mount these next to my spare tire in a way that neither the spare nor the bikes (two adult mountain bikes and one child's bike) extend beyond the sides of the camper.
Having the spare tire on the back does not significantly reduce my bike storage, I just need to be a bit "creative".
Highly recommend this to anyone with similar storage needs.

check the bumper distance to rvFeb 07, 2011
By crw
My bumper was too close to the back of the rv and the bike rack would no bolt around the bumper. I drilled the bumper and mounted the rack through the bumper.
Worked fine until the weight of the bikes bent the bumper down. The product does what it states.
