Roof mounted (TV) bike rack
Is there any reason to not have a roof mounted bike rack so that we can take the kids' bikes camping with us?
I've looked at the one that mounts above the propane tanks but not only is it pricey, it takes precious tongue weight.
I can't seem to find a rack that mounts to the front of a Yukon XL so I thought that since we already have the crossbars up there wear as well put the kids' bikes there.
Dh is fairly tall so while getting them off and on wont be easy, it's doable.
The bikes don't fit well in the truck, nor the TT since we have an outside kitchen instead of a rear cargo hatch.
Is there something I don't know? Any strong reasons that a roof bike rack is a poor idea?
