I thought that some boondock campers might be interested in the 2" receiver topped rack since you could just plug a standard cargo carrier or the larger aluminum carrier sold at HF into it and use it for a generator and fuel.
I can't imagine ever taking my bike rack out, so I probably wouldn't build another one for my personal use with it, especially since just cutting and welding that top receiver piece took several hours by itself, but who knows. I also chose to bolt mine in place rather than a hitch pin just so I could eliminate any chance of rattling and minimize any possible movement.
The 2" receiver topped rack is definitely the way to go. I would use an existing bike rack as well but the big advantage would be it could be removed from your structure and put into the tow vehicle for a day trip while leaving the RV put.
Besides, I do not use racks where the bikes hang on the frame as I have seen very good bikes damaged from those types of bike racks. I use a Thule T2.
