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?

Some class A rigs may have a basement big enough

Consider a rack and place them inside for travel. Like thisWe had one of those racks similar to what you see outside stores that you place your front tire in that we would set in the isle of our trailer and then put 4 bikes in it. Worked great.

Where will I store/lock them when I'm living in my RV?We have a hitch rack that's great for daily transport, but I don't want to leave it outdoors overnight, and I don't want bikes in my kitchen when I'm living in it. :)

Take the rack outside, chain it and the front wheels to a tree, the rest chained as necessary to the same tree. A tarp from HF to cover them with. Did it this way for years while the kids were growing up. Still do something similar with my mountain bike.

You don't want them inside, you don't want them outside, you don't want to take them apart, you don't want them on a rack, you don't want a toy hauler Class A, but you want to take them? Hum, I'm going to have to think about this one for a while. Is this like one of those puzzles where you have to get the bent nails separated?
