Bicycle rack recommendations

I also did the pin box method about a dozen years ago on my last fifth wheel, had four bikes on it. Worked ok, not not the best solution as it takes the full brunt of bugs and rain. I always pulled ahead a little and stood on the tailgate while my wife would hand me the bikes. Rear bumper is probably the most convenient but you know the risks there.

Thinking outside the bike rack box here:

Another idea I got off this forum is to put them inside the truck. My wife and I can easily fit both in the back of the cab with the rear seat folded up and the front wheels off. Of course this only works when its just the wife and I. My kids are older now and have jobs, school and college so they only go with us occasionally.

I can also fit a couple of bike in front of the hitch in the back of the truck with the front wheels off.

I can fit them in the basement and the front compartment too as well and inside the door.

I like the idea of them out of the elements if possible.

I have to agree with this wholly. We have and carry our bikes on a factory rack on the back of the fifth. But before we had this fifth we carried bikes inside the camper and they are in much better condition when done travelling than now.

I always recommend people Go get yourself a quality bike that has quick disconnect front AND rear tires and they really don't take any room at all when storing. Added bonus is you will have a much better bike.
