We installed bike carrier on factory installed ladder on Surveyor and ladder starting coming loose from camper. We removed bike carrier and tighten screws holding ladder to camper. Good thing we tried on short trip; ladder may have come loose from camper on long trip.

I have been using a ladder bike rack for the past 16 years, on two different motorhomes, and never had a problem, however they are light weight bikes. I use compression straps to secure them high (the ladders strongest point) and very tight to the ladder, they should not be able to move.
Make sure you have a professional look at the backing points that your ladder is screwed too, you Don’t want that ladder coming off its mounts while you are half way up it!!
