Cover for bike on a ladder bike rack

We just purchased a Ladder bike rack and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good bike cover. This is our first class C, all our units were pull behinds and we'd just put the bikes in the camper. We are planning a trip to Florida in February and don't want the bikes getting dirty with the nasty NY road salt on the way down. Any suggesting are welcomed. Thanks to all!
  • We use a good quality BBQ cover also, and here I thought I was the first to think of that. Covered two mountain bikes
  • For several years I've been using a large heavy duty BBQ cover to cover 2 bikes. I got it from Home Depot for under $50.00.

    I use some tarp clamps to tie it up tight.

    Just measure the length of the bikes on the rack and find a cover that will fit.
  • I use a large inexpensive BBQ cover for ours although I don't leave it on when traveling (at least I try not to). It fits perfectly and keeps all weather off them.
  • I just went through this process...check Amazon for various covers. Lots to choose from. We elected to use a bike rack attached to the toad as the RV ladder just did not strike me as being up to the task of dealing with 50lbs or so of bikes bouncing around.
