Beware!
I purchased this bike rack in January to carry bikes on the back of my travel trailer. I had been used 4 times successfully but the 5th time was not a charm. One of the bolts that the arms pivot up and down on broke as I was driving on the highway. I heard tire chirping and got out to see what the noise was, when I came around the back I saw my bicycle, which was on the outside, hanging down to the road and the back tire had been jumping up and down on the road as I was driving. The other two bikes were ok. One bolt had sheared in half and the other held.
If you have this rack or are thinking about buying it, you might think about removing these bolts and replacing them with hardened bolts (which these are not).
A bolt remover was unsuccessful. Retapping the threads doesn't look like an option. The option looks like buying a new rack.
Thanks for reading, I hop this helps someone.
False claim about fitting all vans and SUVs
The rack itself appears sturdy and well made. I purchased it to fit a 2" receiver for my KIA Sedona Van. (The info online clearly stated specifically for SUV's and Vans.) After putting it together I attached it to my receiver and it knocks against the bumper. You cannot use the release pin because it is too tight up to the bumper. You would cause damage to the bumper. I am currently looking for an extension for the hitch, hoping it wont add alot of play to the rack when loaded. It is too much hassel to try and send it back.
Sturdy --- Well Made
I received this in about two days with Free Shipping! It comes in three pieces that are easily put together. I replaced the half inch bolt that came with the rack with a half inch locking pin (WalMart). This secures the rack to my trailer hitch. The rack rides very well. I hear no rattles with the rack empty or 1-2-3 bikes. Sturdy & well made - I'm very pleased.
