Mountain bike storage ideas
We're beginning the shopping process for our first RV. We'll be living in it full-time. Here's the difficult spot we're in: We have (2) $5000+ mountain bikes that we will be bringing with us. Obvio...

As mentioned, for full timing, you'll want to preserve as much storage space as possible. I like the option of keeping them in a toad of some kind. I've seen a slice set up where a gent has a Extra Cab F150 with a shell, and he has the slide out bed that he has mounted various things to. Including two crossover bikes for him and his wife. Still had room in the truck for four people. 4X4 truck gave him some reasonable off road capability. He said he liked that the bikes remained clean while traveling. And he also said he had added an alarm to the shell tied in with he truck alarm. Eco Boost V6 he claimed gave him an honest 20-22 MPG on easy highway cruising, and usually above 17 while around town. And, when needed, he can cary 5 people. (Not too much room for big people in back, but it's perfect for his grandkids!).
He also claimed that the slide out bed option, allowed him to work on the bikes while standing, and other things too, as a makeshift workbench.
Just FYI - Good luck to you on your decision,
