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

I'm also using the Swagman on a 172 and happy with it.]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2020 12:09:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129856#129856 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129855#129855 Author: Doug S

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 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.]]> Tue, 04 Feb 2020 17:15:01 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129133#129133 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129132#129132 Author: mjlrpod

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. ]]> Tue, 04 Feb 2020 15:42:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129132#129132 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129115#129115 Author: ArenaBlanca

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?  ]]> Tue, 04 Feb 2020 09:41:52 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13372&PID=129115#129115
