- hohenwald48ExplorerTo stop movement in the receiver I made a couple of these from junk laying around my shop but I guess you could buy them if you don't have as much shop junk as I do. :)
They work like a champ and stop all rattle and movement on a receiver.

There is no reciever involved with this rack. The hitch pins are in the hinge parts... Two pins for each side. One acts as the hinge, the other is for the position of the rack. Insert it in one hole for the deployed position and the other for the folded up position.. Or you can remove the rack completely by pulling all of the pins.

The bumper bracket is welded to the 6" I beam that runs the length of the trailer. The bumper is heavy gauge steel and reinforced where the bumper is welded to the bracket.
- bbaker2001ExplorerI made a frame that fits over the propane tanks. carried both our bikes
I took off the wheel and mounted the bracket that holds the front.
the pedal fit right on top of platform, and I put a bolt thru it to secure it. no movement at all. unit comes right off to fill propane. - Dennis_SmithExplorerPut a tandem bike rack on the back of our Fun Finder. Just got back from a 3000 mile trip. Still looks good. No cracked welds, and I check it at every stop
- SoundGuyExplorerThose insisting on mounting to their rig's bumper may be interested in products by Mount-n-Lock, particularly their Safety Struts which bolt the the trailer frame and are designed to prevent bumper failure.
