Your unit should have come with a receiver hitch which is designed to hold a bicycle rack. I would not trust the ladder.

We have a 2014 Big Country and we made a hitch to accommodate the Bike Rack. We also added to extra receivers on each side for two reasons, one to support the ladder when using it and two to add a carrier rack if needed.

I can take some pictures tomorrow. I made this hitch myself. There was approximately $100 in materials and I also had it soda blasted and powder coated $75.00.

I was able to find a couple of pictures from when I fabricated the hitch. I hope this helps you.

No Vibrations. Last weekend we camped and my son followed with his trailer, he said the bikes didn't move at all.

We have a Landmark, it doesnt have a receiver hitch on the rear for a bike rack. is there a hitch that just bolts up to the frame of the Landmark? or do I have to have one welded on? Im concerned about cutting the cover off the bottom of the trailer, thanks, Dennis New member
To my knowledge, without the brackets already being there, there is no direct bolt-up option out there. I would not be afraid of cutting into the underbelly. That can be closed up very effectively.

I purchased a Curt adjustable bolt on hitch that spans the frame.....I just replaced the bolts with grade 8 nuts and bolts......I got a cargo basket from harbor freight so I can carry things other than bikes.....
Bob - please post the Curt part number or link to the product so others may know exactly what you got.
Also, are you saying it bolted to the I-beam frame or bolted to the brackets that may have came on your frame?
