Coming home from a great weekend we lost all our bikes. I use a 4ea Bell bike rack that slides into our 2" reciever on the back of our 3400 RL. The rack has worked great for the last 6 trips. It failed as soon as we got off the freeway. Thank God it didn't fail on the freeway some body could have been killed. The welds completely failed. I got hold of a Bell rep trying to get reinbursed for my bikes. The first thing she asked was it installed on a camper or a vehicle. She said that on page 6 of the manual there is a warning that say's not to be used on campers! She talked about how campers produce to much sway etc. I guess I feel like a idiot for not reading the manual. I guess you get what you pay for $96 at walmart made in china. I should have done more research. 2 alum adult bikes and 2 kids bikes apx weight 135 lb. If you are using a Bell bike rack Throw it away. Just my opinion. Thank God nobody got hurt.
