Maybe I'm wringing my hands over nothing, but these Schwinntech slides are known for problems. My ladder is mounted on the rear slide. I just don't like the idea of hanging a couple hundred pounds on it and having it bounce up and down for thousands of miles, possibly stressing the slide components.
Couple hundred lbs is a different story.
Our Mountain bikes are maybe 30lbs each?
I still would not want to trust the rv ladder. That thing is typical hollow parts and smaller size screws that rust. I think you would be much safer with a welded steel bike rack. Always locked and easy to adjust the way you need it.
Lol. Is this just on a hunch, or because the tubing is hollow?
Being mounted to a slide out could possibly put some stress on a “moving part” although if it’s designed to be climbed on then also not likely. (With lightweight bikes, not “a couple hundred lbs”. )
