Rear bike rack setup.....
....hi everyone...I had my dealer install this 2" receiver to the rear of our keystone passport TT last year and was wondering what everyone thinks of the design. Specifically, do I need be concerned...

For anyone carrying a load on a rear mounted setup not originally engineered into the trailer, I suggest using a locking cable to securely connect the load to the TT should the carrying structure or rack suffer a failure. I carry a two-bicycle rack using a receiver hitch I mounted to my TT's frame myself but I still run a cable through the bicycle frames to a substantial trailer frame member. That way, should my rack or receiver fail, the load will stay with my trailer until I can pull safely off the road. Damage to my property is one thing but avoiding any potential damage (or harm) to others would be my top concern. The locking cable I use also provides some theft deterrence when my rig is parked and I'm not around.
