Bike Racks Made by Lippert

How is Lippert support after the sale if anything goes wrong?

I have no idea how Lippert support is but most frames are made my Lippert and the Bike Rack is made by Lippert so I don't see why they wouldn't support it. They might require a dealer install but the good question to ask them if you order one.

They do have hitch that if you're really brave that you can tow a boat behind your RV. I understand that in lot states you can NOT do it but the point is that lot weight on the back end of your RV so a couple bikes shouldn't be problem.

I don't see weight limit ratings on any of those racks. That should be in bold and up front in the description, but it is absent. So... If it breaks off in transit or your frame gets damaged from the extra forces involved, it will be YOUR fault because you will have overloaded the rack or the frame. I don't see anything on that Lippert link that shows or tells you how to attach a bike or anything else on their racks. I guess they don't want the liability and you're on your own.

Friends of ours have a slide-out version on their Keystone. Not overly impressed. A lot of extra expense, weight and bulk when stuff could easily go in their truck.

I don't trust anything Lippert, but that's just me. Had an extremely serious issue on something once and they initially came back with a stock pat answer - "it's within spec." Inspection by a pro. proved otherwise. Anything frame related and Lippert make me very wary...

If I wanted a bike rack, I'd be looking at the one that mounts above the tongue area. You can also keep an eye on bikes there while driving too.

lots of bike racks out there, never even knew lippert made some of the racks.

if you want a receiver, talk to a welding company in your area.

All very interesting, but when we contacted Lippert about adding a bike rack or hitch to mount one we were told there was none for our frame number.
