bike carrier

[HOOKERUP]

has any owner installed bike carrier on a Landmark Key Largo into a 2inch receiver?????

Why do you want to do that?

On our Bighorn that has a 1-1/4 receiver, we bought a adaptor to use our Saris bike carrier ( 2"). Works good so far.

Some owners have fabricated 2" receiver hitches for the back of their rigs. I believe welding is usually involved.

Have not done that yet, but I will as soon as I take delivery of my new Landmark!

I have a custom 2`inch on my Landmark. Welding was involved but the receiver frame is bolted to the Landmark frame rails (drilling involved too).

I use a Swagman Traveler platform hitch rack, like this one. The 2inch bar inserts into my receiver.

I use a 2" reciever-I would not go any smaller. I also use a similar Swagman bike rack that works well-it even has a anti rattle bolt setup.

My factory installed 1 1/4 receiver was grossly inadequate. Flex, and the small tube is just too weak. I refabricated the original using 1 1/2 angle iron and 2" I.D. Sq tube. Now we're solid. I can't get my pics to post, but can email if anyone is interested.

Not sure if the coaches with molded rear caps have a full tube bumper like ours (early 2013 3690SL with flat rear wall), but an option for putting a receiver-mounted bike carrier on the rear that requires no frame drilling or welding is one of these bolt-on bumper receivers that we picked up off Amazon.

I've seen similar items for less, even at Camping World, so shop around. Note that we bolted ours on top of the bumper, but it can also be bolted underneath, as well. It is very sturdy for the intended use. I wouldn't trust it (nor do they recommend) for use with pulling anything.

I have the same Swagman bike rack. I believe it is the best. Bikes don't bounce as much. I have my bikes mounted on the pin box. If you have a long bed truck this is a great place to carry your bikes.

We have the same one. We went through three others before we found this model. It's great; the bikes are secured so well, and it holds the bikes far enough away that we don't have to worry about the bikes rubbing against the fiver or ladder.
