Honestly this bike rack is awesome. I bought it just before a long camping trip so like any good dad I was in my driveway at midnight installing the thing. Yes as everyone says the instructions are a bit dodgy but you can find some videos online to help with that. However the bike rack itself is fantastic. The bikes mount tightly onto the rack and it does not vibrate and move around in transit. It’s a huge space saver and the bikes absolutely feel secure. Really a great product!

We have been carrying our bikes on the rear bumper of our travel trailer, but they would bounce around, add length to the trailer, and not easily monitored while traveling. We switched to this bike rack and after 1 trip will recommend to anyone with a travel trailer. The only downside is that it only holds 2 bikes. Very sturdy, no sideways movement, and easy to mount/dismount bikes.

For pop up campers with no ability to store bikes on the back of the camper, this is a great solution. It works well and still allows great clearance for the back of an SUV in turns. It also can work with an adapter to become a regular bike rack for the back of the car, which is great for driving to a trail from a camp site - it’s easy to remove the top part from the trailer.I did take off one star because the bikes are up high and can be difficult to hoist up and position. That is more a function of this type of rig than an issue with with this particular model. I also felt that the bottom posts can be a bit fussy to align to the wheels. It can also be slightly tricky to keep the two bikes from interfering with each other when first mounting them. But once you get used to it with your bikes you learn how to orient them after a few outings.The thing I really like is I still have access to my propane tanks and battery on the trailer. So it’s a trade off for the height issue. I did have to replace my trailer jack with a front cranking model instead of a top crank but that was easy.All in all this is a great solution (really one of the only ones I found) for taking bikes with a pop up trailer and I’m really happy with it. I’m fine with the compromises and it’s a lot easier to mount than a roof bike rack for the top of my SUV.

Works perfectly on our jayflight. Very sturdy & bikes are safe.

This is the perfect way to transport bikes if you own the NuCamp T@B 400! It would probably also work great for many other campers! This attaches directly to the tongue jack space of your camper. Very easy to install and allows complete access to your jack crank! Keep in mind that this will add probably about 100lbs or so to your tongue weight! The jack 35-40lbs + two bikes 50-80lbs depending on your bike weight. Hope that helps!

OK. The summary on this thing is that it does what it says it will do with a great deal of difficulty and some risk of trailer damage when loading and unloading bikes.A few issues1. The official picture included on the Amazon sales page of the bikes on the trailer is fiction. It shows 2 lace loops holding the pedals to the bike mount, and those lace loops are not included or part of the directions. The official picture does not show the lower 'sway pins. that are used solely to keep the bikes from swinging and are not load bearing.2. The directions are a joke. They are half baked. The directions miss an entire step related to putting the mount together and placing pins and sway pins. In addition, the pictures incorrectly show the pads being spaced so that one pad on a given side is above a sway pin and the other pad is below the sway pin. Both pads will be together on both sides of the mount between the load bearing upper pin and the bottom sway pin.3. It is extremely difficult for me to load the bike that is closest to the trailer. The bike facing the trailer MUST be lifted over the bike rack (note that the height is well over the height of most SUVs) and very carefully lowered so that the bike wheels catch on the load bearing pin on the trailer side of the rack. If you have any thumb arthritis, any soreness in your rotator cuff, don't bother. This carrier is not for you.Loading the bike that faces the SUV/truck is fairly easy. For one bike, this will hit the mark. Note that the smallest bike that this will carry should have the center of the wheels 31" apart. If they had drilled more holes it would better fit smaller kids bikes.In my opinion, the designers should have included some sort of tilt mechanisms to get the frame tilting away from the trailer to make the loading and unloading of the trailer-side bike easier.If this bike rack was more expensive, I would have rated it 1 star to mean "avoid it". For the price, I think it works OK for 1 bike, and is a fair value as a single-bike rack. And if you happen to be a fairly strong and fit person, it might work for you as a double bike carrier.Three tips:1. Before you install this on your travel trailer, try sticking your bicycles upside down in your driveway or garage and get a sense of how the rack will work before you start lifting bikes into the sky on your trailer.2. As someone else here suggested, put a foam cover on the pedal closest to the trailer to avoid damage. It is really hard to avoid the bike touching the trailer when loading and unloading.3. As someone else here suggested, leave the 'sway pins' as low on the frame as you can before loading the bikes. Or you can just the leave the sway pins off the carrier altogether until the bikes are loaded and then install them. They are easy to take on and off with thumb screws.Finally, the way this thing works is it uses two hooks referred to as "pins" at the top of the carrier to hang your bike from it's wheels. This is similar to the hooks you might buy at a hardware store to keep your bike on the wall of your garage. It then uses two lower hooks referred to as "sway pins" to strap a different part of at least one wheel, which effectively keeps your bike upright and prevents it from swinging away from the carrier as you go down the road. The design in that sense is simple and elegant. Too bad the rest of the design didn't keep to those two themes.

I bought this to carry two bikes while pulling my 23' travel trailer. My trailer does not have a receiver hitch, so it was either the Jack-it or using bed space in my truck. The Jack-it has turned into a perfect solution, using space that nothing else what using! When does that ever happen when RVing? The Jack-it is super stable, because the tongue of the trailer has very little movement, and way less than the super bouncy back of the trailer. I can see the bikes all the time in my rear view mirror, and they barely move. No worries!ALSO! I bought the Bump-it receiver hitch adapter, so when we get to a camp site and we want to take the truck to a trailhead to go biking, the bike rack goes right onto the back of the truck. Like two bike racks in one. This is great for me, because the bed of my truck is loaded with my generator, sewer tote, other storage totes, my inflatable kayak, etc. I want all that stuff secure under my tonneau cover while I'm off biking. All-in-all, this is a great system if you have an LCI power tongue jack.Downside: You have to lift the bikes over your head to get them on the bike rack when it's mounted on the trailer. I actually bring a painters three step ladder to help me with that. One more thing for the back of the truck.

bought to transport kids bikes & is perfect for the task. Easy installation & well built. No regrets!

My girlfriend and I wanted a bike rack for our RV and trust me, there are a myriad of bike racks out there. We liked the idea that we could see the bikes at all times from our rear view mirrors and opted for this product. The installation is straight forward, many videos out there will help you with that. Of course it sits on the tongue of the jack so you have to have the right tool i.e impact drill to do it. Once installed, there were various trials and errors do have the right setup (adjustments of the arms, which holes should we use, which bike should be in front, oh no! My handle bar touches the other bike’s seat etc.) This was by far the most frustrating part as it took us honestly about 3 hours to figure it out. Once we figured it out, we took a photo of our contraption as a reference guide. Now it takes me maybe 1-2 minutes to get them ready and secure. So once it’s done it’s done and it works like a charm! The bike rack is surprisingly sturdy and we really love the option of removing the arms (with the pads and straps) to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.Tip for the installation:Because the bike rack goes in the hole of your RV’s tongue, obviously you have to remove the tongue. Three bolts and you are done. I’ve seen various videos where they put the RV on Jack Stands and I didn’t like that idea. We simply hooked our RV to the truck like we were going camping. Very easy and much more secure than the wobbly jacks.

Lets start with the good: overall concept is great. It gets the bikes out of the way yet still visible when driving. It is fairly easy to install the main unit, which took about 30mins (you have to remove and replace the foot-jack). Other reviewers mention that it wobbles a lot. My view is it wobbles a bit, but not excessively and I never feel that it is going to cause any issues.Room for improvement: My biggest gripe is that with our trailer, I have to remove a bike peddle in order for the rear bike to fit (see photos). There is no minimum distance given in the instructions or any promotional material. It would be great if they had the option for a shorter length of the piece that goes diagonally back and up. Even with removing the peddle the bike is very close to the trailer and for the first drive I was very worried that with wobble it would hit. Luckily it is just far enough away.My other minor gripe is that with less that a season of use small rust spots have already started to show.My last point to note is that it is very tricky to get the rear bike on the rack and especially so given the fact that there is little room between rack and trailer on my trailer. I can just about do it on my own, but if you are not very strong you will struggle. I've added a few scratch marks to the front of the trailer while loading.Overall I give it a thumbs up but be aware of the points above before deciding for yourself.

The Jack it is easy to install. I really like that I can see the bikes when we are travelling and that they are solid, they don’t bounce around at all. Very happy with our purchase and what we paid for it as we found it at specialty stores but for significantly more.

I’ve been looking at this bike rack for a few years now and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of adjustment to set the bikes up.The first time it is a little tricky to get the bikes on the rack. Take the time to adjust it correctly. It will make the use easier. You will avoid damaging the bikes or trailer.
