This bike rack was perfect for our needs. We are towing a trailer so it wasn't possible to use the box on the back of the truck and the roof of the truck was already occupied with other equipment and it was too high. Installing a luggage rack on an unmodified standard equipment bumper was not safe (many problems when weighting down the stock bumper except for the spare tire). So, Jack - That was our choice. Also, I like being able to see the bikes when we travel. The bike ride is very stable with little to no movement. Getting the bikes onto the rack is quite difficult and I'm not sure I can do it alone (especially the bike closest to the trailer that has to go over the propane tanks). While the rack is awesome, the instructions are absolutely terrible when it comes to placing hangers and stabilizers. I contacted Lippert for help and received an auto-generated response with a link to the instruction manual I already had.
