It would be great.

I liked the product but it was very difficult to assemble because one of the pipes was wrong. I had to hammer with a hammer and a block of wood. It bounces a little on the road so leave some space between the bike and the RV.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Operating speed

Good quality but missing parts

I cannot give an accurate rating as the item I received was missing the bolts/screws etc needed for assembly and the shipping box was badly damaged. Revain accepted the return and refunded the money to my account.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Security

Great for my 2 bike bike rack

Great for our 2 bike bike rack. Strong enough. My RV's bumper isn't designed to add a bike rack, so this option is a godsend. Pretty easy to install; The only problem is lifting the bikes overhead to get them in place.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

You should pay attention to: Accessories

Holes not pre-drilled. The block needs to be about 6-8 inches taller to accommodate a 4 bike hitch rack. Difficult to install by one person as the posts fall on top of each other and don't move. if not twisted. This could probably have been avoided if slotted holes had been pre-drilled.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Can be retrofitted

Mostly good, needs longer screws

Looks pretty solid. Had to drill a 1/4" hole to attach the vertical bars. I had to spend $10 on new screws as the 6" screws weren't long enough for my Jayco. 7" was barely enough. I have it Haven't tried a bike rack yet so hopefully it's not too close to the front of the camper.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
