Hitch Bike rack - Event Date: 07 Oct 2012 - 21 Oct 2012

If you knew someone who was handy with metal you could mount a bike rack on the tongue between the LP tank and the Pod over the batteries. 

You can remove the factory tongue jack and replace it with a swing-up for more room, it is one of the first things I did on my pod.

Before we had the pod, we had a bike carrier that engaged the frame of the trunk of our car with hooks and strops. It would also work on a Wagon or SUV with suction cups against the windows. Would such a carrier rack work, riding on the back of the TV,?

You have to be careful about hitch extensions, they cut your maximum tongue weight sometimes as much as half.  That also extends the distance between the rear axle and pod axle which is one contributor to sway.

One option for mounting bikes could be to mount brackets on the side of the pod.  You would have to be sure to attach to one of the supports.

We are investigating similar possibilities.  I thought I had the winning idea when I found, on Amazon, of course, a "spare tire bike rack" which may or may not have been compatible with the 'Pod's spare lugs, but I'll never know after reading a specific caution about using it on the rear of an RV.  Too much potential for whipping around and bouncing.
