Bicycle racks

Hello fellow campers, we have a 272rl Heritage Glenn. Wondering if anyone would know what type of bicycle rack that would fit on our camper. Needs to hold 3 bikes. Also have a grill and the spare tire on the bumper also? Also no ladder and no hitch.

Unless you have a hitch welded to your frame (which will void your frame warranty), do not mount a bike rack to your bumper. The metal is very thin and the weight will rip the bumper off.
Do a search above for "Bike rack" to see examples.

If your unit is a bumper hitch, they make bike racks that clamp to the triangle frame members at the front of the camper. Might be worth checking out.

The Bike Buddy mounts to the a-frame and works perfect. Limited to 100lbs.
