Conditions that can change the answer
- Yakima excludes use on motorhomes, fifth wheels, travel trailers.
- No current Yakima wording covers flat-towed vehicles; confirm with Yakima before that use.
- Stay within the published road ratings and the exact receiver size listed for this model.
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.
