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. Obviously we won't be leaving them outside on a bike rack (far too easy and tempting to steal). Aside from a toy hauler Class A, does anyone have any good ideas of how to store the bikes? Since we'll be riding them several times each week, we don't want to have to take them entirely apart each time we store them. I'd be ok with removing the front wheel if needed, but if we could leave them intact, that'd be idea. The bikes are about 4' high, 6' long, and the handlebars are over 2' wide.

Any great ideas out there?

As it appears that you are in the early stages of thinking this through - let me throw this into the mix - while in Florida one year one of the guys had a Tandem Tow Dolly with a Custom built bike trailer -- he had fold down doors on both side with a front wheel holder that locked into place. He would drive his Harley in and then when he arrived he could drive it out. Was made of lightweight aluminum just like a trailer with ramp doors - kept it out of sight out of the rain and out of the Coach, and yes he towed a big Lexus 4x4.

Just a thought if you end up with an "A" you will have your bikes and your car all in one.

BOL,
