Bike rack

Those both sound like good options - thanks! I didn't know there was such a thing as a front mounted bike rack.

X2 on a front bike rack; a Saris Cycleon.

Without the boat, our rack mounts in our super hitch. Our bike folds back easily so getting in and out is easy. If we have our boat, the bikes go in the boat under the cover.

I have a side entry camper. I wouldn't want to go back to a rear entry. I often tow the boat so it would be in the way of getting in the camper. If I'm not towing the boat I put my receiver hitch mount bike carrier into the Superhitch extension and the bikes ride right behind the camper. Again, they would be totally in the way of a rear entry door.
I have been thinking of getting a front bike rack. This would allow me to take bikes and boat. It would also let me leave the heavy hitch extension home if not towing. Finally, I would love to have more weight on the front axle and less on the back.

Added a front receiver, rack and bikes go in front, long enough overhang in the back as it is and I don't always want to have my 48" superhitch extension attached
