How do you haul 6 bicycles ?

My daughter's family bought a Jayco TT and are enjoying it ! Soon, her youngest twins will be riding 2 wheelers, but how do you haul 6 bicycles ?

They have no ladder on the back. Is an add-on ladder strong enough to hold 6 ladders ?
  • No where does the OP say s/he has a pick-up truck. With four kids and two adults it's unlikely.

    OP if you tell us what you have for a tow vehicle that would help.
  • I just put ours in the back of the truck. I can get 6 adult bikes, and 3 kids bikes back there. More if needed.
  • "Jayco TT" "no ladder on the back"

    You left no clue about what model or how large. There are easy ways to carry bikes inside, if there's room - fork mounts screwed to plywood (or even the bottom of a table) is one way. We used to carry 4 bikes on top of a popup, and a smaller one inside.

    There are clamp-on carriers which can put a couple over the hitch.
  • In the bed of the truck. On a front mount bike rack. On a rear mount bike rack. Inside the RV. All of the above.
    I have a truck camper and often put my bike inside with bungee cords holding it to the table to keep it upright and secure. Sometimes I put 1 or 2 kids bikes in there too. I have a bike rack that goes in the hitch on the back of the truck but sometimes it's just easier to put the bikes inside.

    You can get several bicycles inside your TT - Easy in - easy out...
  • Toss 'em all in the back of a pickup truck.. ;)

    I've seen 4 bike carriers, but I wouldn't put that on the back of a TT, unless it was a 2" receiver attached to the FRAME of the trailer and not just the bumper.. Even if it had a ladder, I wouldn't hang anything more than a ladder or a few folding chairs or maybe, at the most, 2 bikes... Unless you really know how it's attached to the back of the trailer...

    Putting bikes in front of the TV isn't always the best either.. Depending on how much it blocks off the rad..

    Anyway, good luck with that situation!
