Bicycle transporting

[Jesstruckn/Jesstalkn]

My Landmark came with a 1.5 inch hitch. Had to find a rack for that and with a 2" adapter to put in my truck should we want to go biking elsewhere

Yes!!! 2 bikes is to much for the small factory hitch, bouncing around way back there.

We don't own a landmark but we carry our bikes inside in the living room area. We have a bike stand that fits perfectly between the two opposing sides.

Where did you get the bike stand? Not sure if I have enough space. Would sure like to keep my bikes out of the weather when moving. TIA

I too, have been trying to think of the best way to transport two bicycles on the road. I don't want to add a hitch to the rear of the Bighorn and have been considering adding a 2" receiver to the front of our TV. For those with experience in doing this; has it had any effect on engine or transmission temps?

Not a problem with ours, but we do not take our bicycle built for two on long trips. Purchase a front hitch mount for the GMC, Swagman bike mount rack, and a anti-rattle device for the hitch. The length of the bike is as wide as my dully.

I cut the rack down to make it a single bike mount rack. Very sturdy. This is really engineered well.

Anti-rattle device. Rally works well.

Doug and Robin, I ordered it from Amazon. Here's the link...

We really like this one as it can be used outside too.

I see this is old, but we haul ours in the bed of the truck. Front tires off, standing upright and just a simple bungee to keep them standing straight. Is this not an option for you guys?

I have a motorcycle in front of our F-350 and the engine temps are about the same with and without the motorcycle.
