Tailgate pad to carry bikes
Hi there, I am thinking of using a tailgate pad to transport bikes while towing my TT. I am interested in hearing from anyone that has had first hand experience doing this. Not interested in opinions...

I have a Yakima bike pad for my tailgate. It works well. No, the bikes do not bounce around. When I do a very tight turn the bikes come close to contacting the trailer, but I've never had any part of the bikes touch the trailer.
It's a pretty good solution. I do plan to put a bike rack on the back of my trailer, though, as it's a little bit of a pain to lift the bikes into the back of the truck and get them stacked together. I have a 3/4 ton truck, so the top of the tailgate is pretty high.
Sorry, I don't have any pics.
