Conditions that can change the answer
- Not RV/Travel Trailer rated; use Recon Rack 4 with stability straps for RV use.
Before you travel: confirm the exact rack variant, current manufacturer manual, receiver and hitch rating, bike weights, permitted adapters/extensions and any reduced RV-specific load limit.
Do not treat this as a safety certification. Your regional product version, vehicle, receiver, rack configuration, bike weights and current manufacturer instructions must all be within their own limits.
