Love the product. Not as much the instructions
The product is great. Super sturdy. Easy install. No movement of bikes while driving. Only negative is the instructions. They aren’t the worst but they certainly weren’t clear.

Great Buy!
Pretty easy to install and seems sturdy. Can reverse it also to keep the bikes away from the window.

Great bike rack for complicated bike hauling
For pop up campers with no ability to store bikes on the back of the camper, this is a great solution. It works well and still allows great clearance for the back of an SUV in turns. It also can work with an adapter to become a regular bike rack for the back of the car, which is great for driving to a trail from a camp site - it’s easy to remove the top part from the trailer.I did take off one star because the bikes are up high and can be difficult to hoist up and position. That is more a function of this type of rig than an issue with with this particular model. I also felt that the bottom posts can be a bit fussy to align to the wheels. It can also be slightly tricky to keep the two bikes from interfering with each other when first mounting them. But once you get used to it with your bikes you learn how to orient them after a few outings.The thing I really like is I still have access to my propane tanks and battery on the trailer. So it’s a trade off for the height issue. I did have to replace my trailer jack with a front cranking model instead of a top crank but that was easy.All in all this is a great solution (really one of the only ones I found) for taking bikes with a pop up trailer and I’m really happy with it. I’m fine with the compromises and it’s a lot easier to mount than a roof bike rack for the top of my SUV.

Perfect for 2 bikes
We have been carrying our bikes on the rear bumper of our travel trailer, but they would bounce around, add length to the trailer, and not easily monitored while traveling. We switched to this bike rack and after 1 trip will recommend to anyone with a travel trailer. The only downside is that it only holds 2 bikes. Very sturdy, no sideways movement, and easy to mount/dismount bikes.

Perfect Bike Rack for T@B 400!
This is the perfect way to transport bikes if you own the NuCamp T@B 400! It would probably also work great for many other campers! This attaches directly to the tongue jack space of your camper. Very easy to install and allows complete access to your jack crank! Keep in mind that this will add probably about 100lbs or so to your tongue weight! The jack 35-40lbs + two bikes 50-80lbs depending on your bike weight. Hope that helps!

Good RV bike rack, but install hurdles, and damage
I like the bike rack, it's sturdy and a good option for people who need a bike carrier who also pull an RV. It holds my Trek road and mountain bikes with no issues. We also bought the Bump It bar that this rack can be transferred to when you’re just using it with your vehicle (and no RV). For installation, it fit over my manual jack, but as other reviewers have noted, there's bolts in the way on the tongue that interfere with the base plate of the Power Tower part (with the three holes for bolts). I would have had to add a spacer, but instead, the base plate is sitting on four bolt heads and I figure that’s stable enough for it to rest on. Luckily, the bolts they supply to secure it to your trailer’s tongue were long enough to account for this extra height. We have a 2022 Tab 400 from nuCamp, as reference. The other reason for a couple of stars off the review is that a plastic end cap on the Power Tower was broken in the box, which now leaves the end of a metal tube exposed for water and dirt to get in. I called Lippert customer service and they said they cannot send any parts for the rack, that I’d need to get with Amazon to do a full return. I won’t return it since it’s a small part and the rack is already installed. I’ll figure out a way to plug this exposed part of the frame myself, somehow.

Good unit. well made & sturdy.
Easy to install. Shipped very quickly. Seems as though it will haul bikes well and leaves room for maneuvering. Will do the job for camping.

Worth all the research before the purchase
We have a 33 ft. travel trailer with a 4x4 inch rear bumper. After reading reviews of rear-mount bike racks warping similar bumpers, we decided against them. We purchased this front-mount bike rack and are very pleased that we did. The installation was extremely easy. The quality is exceptional. NOTE: if you have a side-mount hand crank, this will not work for you.As other reviews warned, learning how to mount the bikes in the air was a little tricky the first time. It took two of us and two step-ladders to get the 2 adult bikes up there (facing opposite directions) and adjust the hangers and anti-sway bars. The straps held the bikes very securely. On the 4-hour trip to the RV park, the bikes didn't move at all. The whole rack swayed just a little bit but still felt secure. There's was a sense of comfort being able to see the bikes from inside the truck. Getting them down the first time was also a lesson. By the time we were ready to mount the bikes for the return trip home, we had it down pat and only needed one step ladder (but still two people for now). I am so happy with this purchase and highly recommend Let's Go Aero Jack-It Double Bike Carrier System.

Here’s an honest review
My girlfriend and I wanted a bike rack for our RV and trust me, there are a myriad of bike racks out there. We liked the idea that we could see the bikes at all times from our rear view mirrors and opted for this product. The installation is straight forward, many videos out there will help you with that. Of course it sits on the tongue of the jack so you have to have the right tool i.e impact drill to do it. Once installed, there were various trials and errors do have the right setup (adjustments of the arms, which holes should we use, which bike should be in front, oh no! My handle bar touches the other bike’s seat etc.) This was by far the most frustrating part as it took us honestly about 3 hours to figure it out. Once we figured it out, we took a photo of our contraption as a reference guide. Now it takes me maybe 1-2 minutes to get them ready and secure. So once it’s done it’s done and it works like a charm! The bike rack is surprisingly sturdy and we really love the option of removing the arms (with the pads and straps) to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.Tip for the installation:Because the bike rack goes in the hole of your RV’s tongue, obviously you have to remove the tongue. Three bolts and you are done. I’ve seen various videos where they put the RV on Jack Stands and I didn’t like that idea. We simply hooked our RV to the truck like we were going camping. Very easy and much more secure than the wobbly jacks.

Good use of unused space for hauling bikes
This bike rack is a good solution if you're looking for a way to bring 2 bikes with you but can't mount a rack to the rear bumper due to warranty or weight concerns on those fragile rear RV bumpers. This space over your propane tanks and batteries is typically unused anyway. The bike rack mounts up pretty easily if you have a few tools handy, and an extra jack to support your trailer hitch while you remove the jack from your RV to mount this hitch under. Mounting instructions are straight forward, but the actual mounting of your particular bikes on this rack will be trial and error. This isn't the fault of the manufacturer, but simply that there are so many styles and sizes of bicycles available they cannot provide instructions for every scenario. The fitting comes down to finding the right height for the support arms to hook your bike's wheels in a manner that doesn't damage the brakes or the forks, and prevents the two bikes from rubbing each other. In my case I was mounting two heavy mountain bikes, which ended up taking about an hour (after the time it took to mount the rack) and 3 mount/dismount attempts with slight adjustments of the support arms. This highlighted the main drawback of this rack, being the height that the bikes are mounted at on this rack especially if you have a tall hitch height to begin with. My RV sits very high, with a 24" hitch height, so lifting my heavy bikes up onto this rack is challenging, especially the first couple times. The most difficult is the bike on the trailer side of the rack, getting it up and into place without scratching the trailer front with the handlebars or pedals. I found that NOT using the lower (included) stabilizing arms made the bike mounting a lot easier and didn't affect stability of the bikes in the least once moving. I found the best option for mounting the trailer-side bike was to enlist the help of a second person, lift the whole bike up and behind the bike rack, have the second person assist in maneuvering it into place without scraping the trailer, and as quick as possible stabilize the furthest wheel (front wheel in my case) and hook it on the bike rack hanging arm, while holding the rear wheel relatively low. Then once one wheel is in place it is much easier to lever the second wheel up onto the other hanging arm. The front bike is much easier, and can be done by one person, but hanging one wheel at a time is still recommended. Not using the lower stabilizer bars makes lifting the bikes into place less of an acrobatic maneuver, but means you will need to strap the lower part of the bikes to keep them from bouncing. I did this by running a long-ish flex strap around the bottom of both bike wheels, securing the bikes to each other and inward toward the bike rack, and then running the strap downward to the RV hitch helping to reduce swaying of the entire assembly. I attached one of these straps to each of the front and back wheels of the bikes. I've found on rough roads this setup does sway quite a bit still, but not so much that I'm worried. Construction of the rack appears very good and strong, and finish is nice. The design of the rubber strap retention could be better as I anticipate the strap holes will stretch over time and then not stay in place over the enlarged ends that they have to be stretched over. This is another advantage of using the lower wheel straps as I suggest as this places downward tension on both bikes ensuring that if one of the upper rubber straps failed the bikes would still (hopefully) remain in place on the upper weight bearing arms. Overall this seems to be a very good product with a unique mounting location. And if you eventually reinforce your rear bumper, or buy a different RV, and decide to move the rack to the rear bumper at some point, this company sells accessory parts that will accommodate this change. Or some ingenuity with a few trailer hitch pieces would make this relatively easy as well.

Perfect for and simple to setup the bikes
I’ve been looking at this bike rack for a few years now and it did not disappoint. There is plenty of adjustment to set the bikes up.The first time it is a little tricky to get the bikes on the rack. Take the time to adjust it correctly. It will make the use easier. You will avoid damaging the bikes or trailer.

Works well as advertised
Took first trip with it, about 200km each way, some bumpy roads. It held the two bikes nicely, no damage to bikes. I'm impressed by this bike carrier.
