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 :-)

FYI 2

I built a step on my carrier that is also a small cargo box. I only need a portable step to get in (or none at all in an emergency). My bike rack swings out of the way of the step box and the door. An 18 inch extension should hold about 1/2 the rated weight for the receiver.



Maybe consider welding a step onto your bike rack to get into the TC.

Let me know when this hurts ;-)
