[Trailer Trash 2]

I'll put in my 2 cents worth, if I were to install a bike carrier on any part of my TV or trailer, it would be on the front of the truck, they have some realy nice bolt-on units with a 2"x2" receiver, the reason? I can watch and see what my bikes are doing as far as road bounce goes, in the rear of the trailer they will bounce all over the place and eventually do damage to the ladder which was not desined to be a carrier of bikes, it is hardly able to hold the weight of a person climbing up it to get on the roof.
I also had the same thing happen to me as you did, but mine were in 2" x 2" a receiver attached to the rear of the trailer, and a factory bike carrier made for that receiver. I was wondering why when everybody passed me I received that "LOOK" so after stopping I decided th check, one bike was holding the other from falling good thing for tie wraps and bungie cords.
