THOR #18821
Hollywood Racks RV Rider HR1600

Got the Hollywood Racks RV bike rack this week. We have 2 electric bikes we want to bring with us for our weekend get aways. Let us get out from the campgrounds without having to pack everything up and pull the slide in. We don't go long enough to want to invest in a TOAD setup, so this seemed like the best option for us.



It's VERY rigid once setup and everything is torqued down. I read horror stories of normal bike racks being used on RVs and leaving people's bikes behind them on the highway so did a ton of research to find a well reviewed one, that supported our bikes weight, which could be flipped up for more compact storage when not in use and that was RV rated.



I ordered from Modern Bikes, price seemed to be the same most places but they had it in stock and ready to ship and I wanted it before this weekend's trip.



Here's some photos.

Crater,
I am also searching for a rack for E-bikes and mountain bikes. Are you able to measure the distance from the back of the Thor to the ladder. Mine is 5 inches and want to be certain I can fold the rack upright.
Thanks, Skip

Same rack but added a light bar.

Very happy with it.

Wasn't sure exactly where you wanted things measured from, but I'm hoping this photo will help you out.

Got a link for the light bar? When our rack is on the toad and the bikes are covered you can't see out tail lights. Does the bar replace your tail lights, blinkers, etc.?
