Clipper 17BH bumper rating / bike rack

[Sarjent]

Looking for information on back racks for the TT. I have a folding cargo/bike rack that uses a 2 inch hitch and was thinking about the Thule hitch bumper mount. I have 3 adult bikes and one child bike. Would also like to use the rack for cooler, wood, etc if I needed to.

I have the 4Square Safety struts already, but need to install them.

What are other people doing for bike racks on these trailers?

Reinforce it and haul away.

Now........Hunker down for the firestorm of the bumper laying on the road crowd LOL.

I have a 292BHDS and have had the 4square struts in my wish list for awhile and interested to see how you come out doing this. I have 4 bikes I would like to stow on tt bumper but have read hundreds of horror stories about issues (very few pic verified issues) of bumper mounted bike racks

Liken the safety strut idea but still a little weary. Also thinking bout A frame front mount options

See posts #2 and #12 here for what I had put on my Roo 19 and my Mini Lite 2503S.

You can do it if you beef it up properly.

As far as bike racks for a Travel Trailer, these guys are the "cats meow".
Travel Trailer – Arvika
Prices are very high but I have never heard a negative comment about this company or their products (excluding price and maybe that they are a little hard to come by in the US). When you factor in beefing up the the rear frame, adding struts etc., the front mounted Arvika bike racks don't seem as expensive.

Arvika has a version for 5th wheels too, which I used as a template of sorts to build a rack for ours.
