My husband welded a homemade 2" receiver onto the bottom of the our 24' towlite bumper just to the right of the spare wheel. We have two adult and two children bikes. On our last trip out the weld held, however, a small square of the bumper ripped away where the weld was. We lost two bikes and have a hole in the bottom of the bumper. Thankfully no one behind us was hurt. HiLo said that the bumper was not a strong enough metal to accomodate the bikes.
I would really like to get more detail information from Dave regarding exactly how you did your bike rack and the clothesline. I was also hoping that we could have the clothesline for drying. Maybe even some pics to give us an idea of how you did it?
