POPUP owners - bike rack?

[gillenkl]

OK, we're coming to the Fort in October and want to bring our bikes so we don't have to rent a golfcart - 2 adult and 2 teens. Can anyone guide me to a decent bike rack mounted on a popup?

1) Go to Amazon.Com.
2) They have MANY types available for sale.

We use a hitch mounted bike rack on our pop up. Fortunately it has the hitch built in. Just remember it is back there when you back into a site!

gillenkl,

This topic came up a few months ago and I responded into it (which is why I remember it).

I use the Prorac 4-bike rack on my popup which will come up if you go to Amazon as RustyScupper suggested. It's not cheap but it has worked very well for us.

Good luck with your search!

A lot will depend on whether your popup already has roof rails integrated into the roof. Our Fleetwood popup had them and I bought a Yakima system off ebay for a very good price that fit them.

The Yakima system is fantastic, we had five king cobra racks on the popup with room to spare. Two big advantages of this system were the wheels stay on the bikes so you don't have to find a place for them and the racks grip the bikes by the tires so they didn't get beat up at all during travel.
