Bike Racks?

[atavuss]

Can everyone share how they are transporting their bikes on their PUP's?
Pictures would be great!
Thanks!

I ended up getting a fold up bike, I didn't want to put a bike on the roof, goes in the back seat

This is the one I use , its easier to get bikes off and on then the ones that go on the pup roof. You do need a longer hitch bar though

Bikes are last on, first off

Hello, we have used this rack for 2 trips with great success.

we used the sixnall. google it folr website. holds six bikes on roof, no drilling, very secure.

I should have mentioned that my PUP already has racks on the roof but the spacing is 67", this is probably too far to use a Yakima or Thule bike rack? I also will be transporting a 130 pound Hobie Pro Angler kayak on the roof.

You should be mindful of the total weight you're adding to the PUP roof. If you have an A/C, you will be close to the weight capacity with just the Hobie added to the roof. You could also probably extend the Yakima or Thule bike racks to fit the crossbar spacing by using longer U- channel. I could mount everything on my PUP but it would be too close to the weight limits and by having my bikes on my TV, I have lessened the offloading of toys before setting up the PUP.
My setup with Kayaks and bikes.

How did you do this??

These are the racks I'm looking into myself. They're a bit on the pricey side, but seem to be a highly logical solution in RE to weight distribution, etc

Thanks! We've been trying to figure out how to bring the bikes without hanging them on the SUV or drilling into the roof. This might work.

 

[MD Saga]

Ours can carry six bikes, total. I got lucky and found this on craigslist for $100. Best solution for us.

Wonder if the weight rating is the same for all the roofs (ABS and Aluminum) and all the Colemans/Fleetwood PUP's? My TV has racks on the SnugTop bed cover but I would need to get the cross bars and upright mounts, this would allow me to split the load, carry the yak on the PUP and carry the bikes on the TV.................

That was the dry fit.. i put on custom brackets in the roof close to the rear on both sides in the end and used a 49$ canadian tire trunk rack..
worked well for 6000Km road trip this summer

I posted this elsewhere but it may be an option if you have a box type bumper ?

If we only had 2 bikes that would be something we'd consider. But we have 4 (2 adult, 1 20" child's bike and one 12" child's bike)
