Anyone knows how much weight the bumper of my 31BHPR can hold? I would like to install a bike rack on it. Secondly, what's the best rack type to use, hanging or platform? Thanks!
I have no idea of the exact number but it's usually around the total of "don't even think about it."
If you really want one back there
(our old camper), have a shop reinforce the bumper to the frame by welding. The RV dealers I've worked with charge around $350 for parts and labor.
We have a hanging rack that I had purchased years before we got a camper. If you go this route, buy the best you can. Several people have had bumpers fail, but many others have had their rack fail. We've had the same
softride for many years and miles and it's still solid.
If we didn't have the current rack, I'd probably go with a platform style. It seems like there would be less strain. Although we've never had a problem, we're kinda asking for it(;
