The Grand kids may go with us and their bikes. We may even get a couple. It's has been years.
I have looked on the Internet, and don't know if I see what I want.
The ladder rack seems maybe the best as we take off for the wilds in the Edge, won't have to worry with the bikes.
Then again we may want to take them.
May buy both. :)
I want a padded rack that won't mar the ladder or the motor home of course, nor the bikes and has some mechanical way to put locks on them and ladder......and is easy to swing down or take the bikes off.
They are 20a incherss of now.
Don't want the wheels and handle bars flailing around obviously.
In the Receiver Hitch type for the Edge it has to b substantial as flimsy metal upright and tilt mechanism whipping around is not a good thins and neither are the wheels and handlebars.
What do you have on the subject?

We use a hitch hauler on the toad with attached bike wheel slots.
Makes for a little extra storage for little things picked up along the way, as well. In addition I have one of the old style bumper racks bolted on the back of that for extra bikes. Two bikes can be moved to there, leaving the whole hitch haul for other things, if required.
