Looking for a good class 3 Hitch Mount Bike Rack...
I decide it's time to look for a bike rack for our motorhome.
My grandson who is 14 years old really enjoyed bringing his bike to Disney this past summer. So I've decide I should look for a bike rack, anyone know which kind I should look at? I would need to haul 3 bike...or at least 2 bike, as granddaughters bike is really small so I could still put inside RV if I had to..

I'd go for at least a 3 position if not 4 position...your granddaughter is going to grow quickly and in a couple of years you'll be looking for a place to haul her bike. Plus, one of them may want to bring a friend along at some point, thus the suggestion for 4 positions.

Ours is a Reese Outfitter that we bought off of some friends. I just did a quick search and see that Reese makes a different model now, but I think many of them are the same. We're really happy with the Reese and it has hauled our 3 bikes over 4000 miles so far (and occasionaly a 4th bike when DS brings a bud along).

Nice thing about a hitch mount bike rack - it doubles as a clothesline. We keep a few lengths of PVC pipe in the hatch and put them in the bike mounts once we're parked. If it is windy we add some bungee cords over the top to keep towels and stuff from blowing away.

Thanks KristinU I'm going to go look at that rack now online.
I only need for 3 bikes as I was counting a friend for my grandson. I was thinking by the time she gets old enough to bring a friend a long, he will be working and doing what teenagers do best...hang out...playing games online...
