Topic: Tongue Mounted Bike Rack Posted: 04 Apr 2014 at 5:24pm |
I removed the spare from the rear hitch on the Pod and keep it in my truck. I then drilled holes in the upright and inserted U bolts. Mine is an old bike, so I just used duct tape to protect the bike frame from the U bolts which I tighten around the frame so the bike is secure. Sorry, no pics, 'Arnie the Podinator' is still in winter storage. Cheers,

The Arvika is spendy, but great. Powder coated aluminum. Tray tips up to access the batteries and LP. Got an adapter for the 2" receiver so we can take it off the Pod and use it on the TV or our Outback.

Ya, still searching for someone who fabricated a bike rack on the RPod Tongue. I like the idea of the dual hitch though my TV has a rear tire which prevents that. So I keep looking.

Facebook Rpod owners page has lots of pictures of fabricated bike mounts. A guy in CA has a recent posting of one he is currently building.
