 Topic: Rear bike rack for a 2020 195Posted: 04 Feb 2020 at 9:41am |

We are investigating the possibility of installing a rear mounted bike rack on our 195. Does anyone know where to find a suitable rack as there is no receiver on the pod?

I just bought 2 electric bikes, that might be a little heavy for the stromberg tongue mount rack. The only receiver on the 195 is a bumper mount. I don't think the bumper can carry that kind of weight. (130 pounds plus the rack). I'll be watching for some opinions on this.

I have a 196 and what I did in order to carry my Yamaha generator is to have a regular receiver hitch installed. Where do you plan to carry your spar tire? I carry mine in the front compartment on the door side. It fits just fine.

I purchased this Swagman from Amazon. It is made for RV's and includes a bumper hitch. I had to mount the hitch upside down, but it seems to work just fine and is very sturdy.

I'm also using the Swagman on a 172 and happy with it.

If you have ever traveled behind an RPod on a bumpy road you might want to reconsider mounting a bike on the back. These trailers bounce more than you can imagine. I would look at the tongue mounted units such as Let's Go Aero 429756 Jack-It Double Bike Carrier System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYRM7MM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_q4QCEbV0V2SN2
