FYI I modified my cargo carrier with a hitch extension so the bike rack mounts behind the cargo carrier. A couple of anti-rattle fittings keep it pretty steady.
I also replaced the 4 bike posts with shorter ones for 2 bikes only.
Hope this helps,
You are not helping things :-)
I am considering that as well but it puts the carrier way behind the camper and really not sure how it would do with the weigh. I need to weight the bike and see how much I am dealing with.
If I did that I thought of putting a platform on the top of the one side of the carrier and a small set of stairs to the ground from the carrier and not using the larger stairs at all. The good part of that is that I can secure the bike to the carrier at night and could use the door when traveling.
More research :-)
