Tongue mounted bike rack

There is a Casita showcased on the Fiberglass RV For Sale site which has a nice tongue mounted bike rack. Looks like a pretty nice set up. Supplied link is for the mfg. site but there are a lot of Youtube and other info if you google Arvika bike rack. (Not connected to Arvika.)

Bike Rack

Eddie , thanks  for the info about the tongue mounted bike rack ,  this looks interesting to me just not sure how the fit will be on the scamp with the propane tank being so forward on the tongue ....  I contacted Arvika about getting some more information as I have not decided on what type of set up to go with yet for carrying our bikes .....

Bike Rack

If you look at some of the You Tubes, it looks like there is a  front drop down support that attaches to the jack base. It appears you will need to get a sidewinder jack if you installed the rack. I installed a sidewinder jack a couple of months ago, it was not too expensive.

Jack

Unfortunately when I got the 98 scamp dl it came with the center Jack that was bent and unusable the tongue was also bent . I purchased a new center Jack and had to put quite a bit of effort into straightening the tongue I really liked the way it turned out , if the bike rack won't work with what I have it will probably be a deal breaker.  I did watch the you tube videos and they were very helpful , thanks also still waiting to hear back from Arvika
