Pictures of people carrying bicycles and a motorcycle?

[hayden]

Hey, long time lurker. Recently got an 8 foot sunlite pop up and am trying to find a way to carry my xt225 and 2-4 bicycles with my regular cab srw f350. I have a hitch hauler for the xt225 that still allows me to squeeze in the door of the camper and I'd like to be able to continue to do that with the bicycles too. So what has every one done?

Get a front hitch and bike carrier?? I carry 2 motos with my camper often, one off a rear and one off a front carrier, bicycles should be a piece of cake!

Don't know if this helps at all:

From outside - while traveling: theft prevention, protection from elements




Inside while traveling

Trailer. 5X8 seems to still allow me to get into some pretty tight spots.

I have had hitch rack for the moto and roof rack for the bicycles in the past, trailer just makes life so much easier.

May do an axle flop and bigger tires to make it a bit more off-roady, however it seems in its' current state works well enough for where I am willing to take the truck, as the bikes are for the real gnarly terrain.

Well I ordered a front hitch I'll try bikes on the front. I would like to see more though. I have a 10 year old yakima rack I might have to shorten

Front Hitch

We use a front hitch with two bikes, works well.
Ours has to arms that come forward to hold the bikes by the top tube. I would suggest getting ones that have trays to keep the bikes flat and even. We have one wheel that goes higher than the other.

^ Looks good!

FAT Bikes seem to be taking the world by storm.

Josh41, looks good!! I spy new tires and have you done something to the rear suspension? Seems to carry that weight very well.

GT.... It has been sitting level with the camper, bikes, and kayaks, we put on a set of BFG KO2s that are E rated and Timbrens in the rear. I can't say enough for the Timbrens, potholes and highway bumps are handled well and nominal sway (just normal lean on turns). I took it a scale and just made it under GVW. Rear end was under the by 1000lbs on the old tires, but these do feel better.
Have you been out much with the camper
