 Great racks!Aug 13, 2009
By M. Hulett
"marije"
When we decided to take 5 bikes to Yosemite so the whole family could ride at the same time, I had no clue how we were going to do it. Then I found these racks! They are amazing. (I bought the extender pack that allows for two more bikes to be carried, for a grand total of 6 bikes if needed.) These racks are easy to install, they are secure, they fit far enough back on the trailer that they don't inhibit turning radious IN THE LEAST, and are spectabular in every way. I don't have enough good words to say about them. Whoever invented this rack system for tent trailers is a genious. We went on some pretty bumpy roads and the bikes stayed exactly where we put them.

 Slick but DisappointingJul 31, 2011
By CSHOPPER
WE ENDED UP RETURNING THE RACK AFTER IT'S FIRST USE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T JUSTIFY SPENDING NEARLY $400.00 ON A PRODUCT THAT SOLVED ONE PROBLEM BUT CREATED SEVERAL OTHERS. I have to say that this product is very well made and it seemed like a slick way to mount your bikes to your pop-up. The trouble began when I found that the back bike wheels slide ALL OVER THE PLACE. So to remedy this they supply many useless webbing straps with flimsy plastic pull trough buckles. These straps are not pictured in the photo advertisement, for good reason because if you saw the amount of straps necessary you would realize the MAJOR hassle this strapping job is and you'd NEVER pay, nearly, $400 for this rack. Luckily I work in a strap intensive industry--I'll leave that to your imagination--and therefore have lots of the best straps money can buy (and trust me they are nothing like the cheap ones supplied by pro-rac). So after using about 7 INDUSTRIAL straps we were on our way. Of course this didn't stop the bikes from sliding around a bit and freaking me out both ways on our 300 mile trip. WE ENDED UP RETURNING THE RACK AFTER IT'S FIRST USE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T JUSTIFY SPENDING NEARLY $400.00 ON A PRODUCT THAT SOLVED ONE PROBLEM BUT CREATED SEVERAL OTHERS.

It is much better than drilling holes in the roofNov 24, 2008
By Jeffrey Tedeschi
This is a great rack which is well designed and does not compromise the campers structural or weather tight integrity.
Pros: Parts fit together well and assembly is very straight forward. Quality of the material is very good and the design although simplistic is well thought out. Slides down out of the way when opening the tent trailer without having to remove it.
Cons: The buckles on the straps are plastic and do not survive a lot of tension. The back wheels tend to slide without a horizontal restraint.
Over all an excellent bike rack well worth it.

 Decent option for Tent Trailer bike carrierJun 03, 2008
By Henry Hammingh
The overall quality of construction is very good. The only exception would be the plastic parts on the straps used to stabilize the bikes. From past experience these are sure fail points and will need to be replaced. The design works fairly well except the unit is prone to quite a bit of sway if the cross bar needs to be extended most of the way vertically.
This seemed to be the best option for a trailer mounted rack that could handle 2+ bikes that didn't require drilling into the roof of the trailer. Overall I'm still pleased with my purchase, though do feel it may be a bit overpriced.

Works GreatAug 05, 2011
By Michael Trask
What others here have said:
it is well made, easy to install, no drilling into your camper, works great. All true, It's a great bike rack.
My additional observations and suggestions after 5000 miles with 4 bikes on.
1. No observable change in gas mileage (I pay attention to that while towing).... perhaps because the bikes are low enough they are slip streaming behind my tow vehicle. Bikes are more protected from wind.
2. Straps: They vibrated in the wind like crazy until I put a single twist on them.... all was well after that. Also be very careful where you put the straps on the bikes. The directions say around seat post. One of our bikes however had a brake cable ferring in that spot and I put the strap around that..... it started to cut the strap. I found a different way. Also... follow the directions about tying down loose ends of straps.....if they flap they will begin to unravel. At the end of my trip all the straps were still functional. But two were damaged and I will need to replace. Check straps at each gas station fill.
3. Tires leave marks. The tires do leave marks. I have a one-piece UBS plastic Coleman.... the marks simply scrub off at the end of the trip. If you have something different... I'd recommend the protective measures they offer.
4. I bought 2 6-foot long kryptonite cable bike-locks...to lock the bikes to the main cross-bar for added security. Worked great. That way I didn't have to worry about someone taking our bikes while we were parked somewhere.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with this carrier. Mind the straps as I and the manual suggest.... and all will be fine.
My rig: A 10' 2001 Coleman Sea Pine pulled by a Honda Odyssey carrying four bikes.
