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...

molardog - I sure understand - when we had kids along (and dogs) we just LOVED our Suburban. And I also understand the emotion against the dog. I carry a similar emotion against the sign post in a parking garage that put a dimple in my rear chrome bumper. Amazing how an extremely slow creep (back up parking) can still carry the force to push a mounting bolt into a dent.
Dodge guy - I think an extra advantage of the ratchet straps setup is it lifts the weight of the bikes, thus moving rear bumper weight forward to the tongue! I think it's called weight distribution straps.(JK guys).
HA HA! but really, the straps do pull some of that weight back up over the bumper and not 3 feet out past it. that is where bike rack and bumper failures happen.
