CptSydor,
Here is an idea to help out with additional, secured, bike storage within a TT while traveling. This certainly would not work during living times but if you are looking to secure addtional bikes, it may be of use. Dinette table removed with seat storage top flipped over with bike mounts. See the thread link for additional photos and details.
from this thread: RV.NET - Bike carrying solution....finally!
Want to also add per your recommendation of MTB companies to look at for quality frames:
Yeti, Santa Cruz, Niner, Ibis, Salsa, Pivot.
I'm actually biased to Yeti but you will pay the price for the bike...and it is worth it.
Would also like to add that per the wheel size comment...27.5 wheels is definitely the trend right now and you will be paying higher prices on those bikes. Make sure and check into demo programs as better local bike shops offer this as bikes are like gloves...not all fit the rider so it is best to try it first before committing to a large purchase. Demos programs can be similar to paying $100-$150 for up to 5 separate day rentals, usually higher end bikes. If you purchase a bike from that shop, they will almost always subtract that demo price from your purchase.
