Bike rack solution

Hope this pic comes thru. We had a custom wrap around receiver built that clamps on the bumper with 3 u-bolts. Then we put a ratcheting strap from the bike rack to the ladder to eliminate bouncing while on the road. You can easily remove the rack to fit in your truck receiver if you want to take the bikes somewhere. The ratcheting strap is key to making this a solid safe solution. We have used this set-up on 3 different trailers over 15 years and thousands of miles and never had an issue.
