Installing a bike carrier
I have a Class a motor home with a 10,000# hitch, towing a vehicle 4-down with a Blue Ox system. The curb weight of the tow vehicle is approximately 4,300#'s. I would like to add a bike carrier direct...

Yes, I think to agree that the bike carrier on the back of the tow car is the best solution. I've got some pretty good bikes that I wanted to cover and protect during travel. Ideally, if I could find a (2) bike carrier cover that is clear in the center and allows view of the rear license plate solves all my problems and preferred. If anyone knows of one, please let me know... It would be most appreated!
Check with Camping World - that is where we bought our second cover.
It had clear sections in it, but it sure would not work well for our 2 bikes. After a lot of struggling with it, it went back. Friends of ours also found the same thing and since their bikes were a slightly different size than ours, they were certain it would work for them - it did not.
Above poster recommended a roof mounted rack. When we were younger that is what we used. Now, being a little older and also having a high SUV it was a struggle for us to lift the bikes that high up. For years we used to carry a tandem on the roof and so we do have experience with roof mounted racks. Unfortunately, as we age, changes are necessary.
