Hey everyone. I just ordered a tongue mount bike carrier. The stromberg carlson bike bunk. I also ordered the Aero veeme v2 bike carrier to go with it. Anybody know anything good or bad about these products? Works well with the pod? Any issue of T.V. hitting bike when cornering. It seems pretty good to me, but if you have any info, please share.

The bike bunk looks pretty good. I might take my bikes with us more often with something like this. I can't really believe it's only 15 lbs according to Amazon's details. It doesn't look like there would be a problem with turning, if you put it back as far as it can go, but that would be something to check out controlled conditions before taking off.
It's more weight on the tongue, and more weight period. There must be a limit for added tongue weight.... I have two 20 lb propane tanks and one big ol' battery (might make it two next time I need a new one), and then the weight distributing hitch itself isn't a bag of feathers.

For my 182g, I got the rpod bike carrier which is 1 1/2 inch (ish). It works fine.
