For sure I feel for you, but there are only a few rv's designed and shipped with bumper mount bike/cargo racks. The rest are clearly placarded against modifying in any way.

I doubt your cargo rack had anything to do with the crack, but now the dealer and manufacturer have every right to deny your claim as you voided the structural warranty.

I am truly sorry you are getting the run-around, but they play the game to win!

If there was no drilling or welding on the frame, they have a =very= weak case.

I agree! My friend took pictures of a Honda Prius with a bike rack on the back and sent it to them... He said maybe Keystone needs to get together with Honda to figure out how to make a frame that won't crack from a bike rack. Also, there was NO PLACARD anywhere. It only stated it in the owner's manual, which I cannot even read until I have bought the thing! By that time I had already moved the cargo platform over from our other trailer.

Also, the very fact that other manufacturers INSTALL cargo platforms on the back show that it can be done without destroying the integrity of "Frame Camber". As a matter of fact it may be a safety net so that nothing else can be put on the back bumper without TRULY modifying it.
