Picture 5 of 6 from Album Bike Rack Mod
Hard to tell from this pic but the rubber bumper on the bottom of the rack needs to be moved out away from the trailer about two inches (next mod). In its current position, the rack sags in the rear when loaded with bikes. Also hard to see in this pic is that I put an eye bolt on the underside of the rear of the rack in each corner. I put a ratchet strap from the bracket on the frame then under the bumper to these eye bolts to reduce the "bouncing up" of the rack when travelling.

    If you don't mind my asking what brand of rack is that?

    Sorry dbackerjim,
    Been a while since I logged in to the forum. The rack came on our Sabre 5th wheel when we bought it. I just had some modifications made to the slots so the bike wheels fit properly. The original design was more of a cargo rack, the bike wheels did not fit at all in the slots.
