Hello all,
I have a Yakima bike rack and want to take it along with our pop-up (we have what I would call a "standard" pop up). I bought the adapter so I can hook the bike rack in and then my camper below it (no issues so far with that).
Sooooo.....what I need to know is how you get around the problem of the bikes being too close/touching the camper? I need the bottom ball/attachment for the camper to be 16 inches or so further back from where the bike rack goes into the hitch. So far, I haven't seen anything commercial that has this set-up.
The camper has side-by-side rear bumpers, but I wouldn't trust putting a clamp-on receiver on it and expect it to hold a bike rack w/ 4-5 bikes.
Do I need to have something made special? Let me know your thoughts, please
