Ideas on traveling with 5 bikes

We are a family of 5 and will be heading out on our first trip this coming Friday. I was wondering if any of you had any ideas on the best way to take 5 bikes with us. I know that the back rack is only rated for 200 lbs so I think that I can put the kids' 3 bikes on that. I can take the front wheels off and place them in the back of my Yukon or I can place the 2 bikes inside the trailer.

Any suggestions?

With that short of time, sounds like you have a solution. Long term, maybe place the small ones on the hitch and buy a roof mount bike rack for the adult bikes

What is the rack mounted to? Is it factory or a bolt-on to the bumper hitch?
