Bike Rack Update - 246RKS

Well, last week while attending the FROG Rally, I had the opportunity to visit the Coachmen Freedom Express factory. I had a personal tour with Norb, a FE Salesperson. He took me through the entire factory and explained the whole process of building the Freedom Express TT. While on the tour I asked him about putting a bike rack on the back bumper and here is basically what he said. They put a sticker on the bumpers that says you should attach anything to them. However, he said a bike rack would be fine as long as the weight was kept under about 160lbs. He said they discourage people with the sticker so people don't add a hitch and then try to pull another vehicle or a boat. He said a couple bikes would be fine. So, I'm off to buy a bike rack, I think I get one of those that the wheels of the bike sit into and then attach to an upright to avoid it from hitting the back of the TT.

Good luck.
