Bike rack on bumper failure
After reading so many posts arguing about the bike racks on the bumpers of TTs, I finally saw a failure today on the side of the road. They had a rack with two bikes on it, the bumper had torn around...

I also added anti-bounce straps by screwing eye bolts (2 per side) to the 'meat' on the corner of the TT. Satraps stop all wiggle of the bikes and rack.
I also bolted the back of the bumper hitch to the cross member with angle brackets to stop hitch from trying to 'twist' the bumper.
We put on over 9000 miles out east last summer on some rough roads with no bounce or problems with bikes or rack or bumper.
