So I recently purchased an older 5th wheel trailer for camping and to make things a little cheaper on biking trips (no hotel). I'm going to have a receiver welded to the back bumper so that I can use a bike rack.....but....

I need a little help deciding on a rack. I would like something that can hold no less than four downhill bikes but can accommodate XC bikes as well. My internet searches really haven't been that impressive. Can anyone recommend something? I should mention that I would prefer not to take the wheels off the bikes....

I'd weld something up myself but to be honest I don't trust my welds!

Thanks for any info and links!

get something like that and you can weld something on to make it better..wait..if you got a 5th wheel trail,er can you put the bikes in there? how about a mini trailer off the back of that, if you got a diesel tow rig that is..
WAIT I FOUND THE BEST ONE..just need an adapter to make ti a 2" reciever

Thanks man! I don't understand your negative rep....you seem pretty helpful!

To others that may be reading this...habitxskate's links have brought up a good point - perhaps there is something out there that can haul a dirtbike as well? I've been toying with the idea of buying one....this is certainly not a requirement however.

In any event, thanks for any help (and links!) that you can offer!

eh, well sometimes i can be sarcastic and joking around, some people here can't take the joke..those can haul approx. 500 too.i have 2 dirtbikes and 2 quads, so we use an enclosed tralier.i'll make up a sketch

i did it quick, and i rebooted my comp so i don't have photoshop yet..

hope that helps, at least a little.
