thank you. its probably cheaper to rent the bikes in disney! haha
I wonder if its possible to use the one I have and get the one that goes on the ladder? I dont know if hanging on the ladder would be in the way of the rack on the hitch? has anyone tried that?

I've read that many people were not happy with the racks that hang on the ladder, guess it mainly depends on how well the ladder is secured and whether the siding of the RV is durable or not.

We just got rid of our 4 bike carrier that came with our trailer. It was put on a 2-inch receiver connected to the rear bumper, but the bikes bounced so much they dented the back wall of the trailer.

I switched to putting 5 of the "bed-rider" type of brackets in the back of the pick-up truck bed; connected them to a piece of wood that fits into the bed liner. The local store only had three of the kind I wanted (Thule) so I got two more made by Yakima. I prefer the Thule because they appear more durable (4 bolts instead of 2). The Thule brand were on sale for $17 each, and the Yakima were around $20 each. After getting them home, realized that the front forks on the little kids bikes will not fit over the bolts to be secured.

Yikes, I just went to grab the photos off the EMS website and saw how much these are going for now (I just got them in May!). Anyhoo, they work great, sure you can find some deals on these somewhere. Maybe try Craigslist?

my son has an electric scooter we would like to bring to the Fort. Are there any racks that would hold it? We have an RV with a ladder on the back, but I don't think the standard ladder rack for bikes would work...

We had to carry ours inside the TT.

On our old 5er we had a bike rack on the ladder. It broke our ladder. We carried 2 adult bikes. We started putting our bikes inside the trailer.
