Bike rack question.
We have a Puma 295bhk. It has a rear entrance for the rear bedroom. Therefore it has a split rear bumper. Is there such a bike rack that can go in the receiver of your TV and still pull a 5th wheel?

I don't see how one would work. I'm looking at adding a front hitch to my truck, cost is about $200 at etrailer.com and putting the bikes on the front.

I suspect that Lippert made you frame and they have some solutions to adding a bike rack to the back of their frames that might work. May give them and call and see what they can do for you.

How about installing a front receiver on your tv?

I believe that a front rack is the answer.

I like a fifth wheel pin mounted bike rack.

I thought someone here made one to hold the bikes over their pin.

Here's the first one that my father-in-law made me:

I've since gotten a new pin box and he made a new one for that.

Ok, I knew someone made one on here for it.. Figured it might let them see how to made their own. Did not realize you (father in law) had made it.

Looks like, and in the description turning with multiple bikes might be tight especially with a shorter box. Think I might still go with my front bumper mount myself.
