I have read most of the bicycle carrying problems, including the ladder problem, and the home made rack on the rear of the Monty. I am considering Yakima racks for the cab of my GMC extended cab.
Any experiences with the cab top racks, actually they have one that has a support in the front of the truck cab, and one crossbar on the cab.

jerrygering,

Before I owned the RV, Yakima racks worked real well, Just about anything built by Yakima is top quality.

I spent a summer as a tour director for a bicycle tour company. On the SAG vehicle van, there were two racks, one was Thule, and the other was Yakima. The Thule had to be constantly tightened and adjusted, and the Yakima never ever moved. My money is on the Yakima.

I now have a Bike Friday folding bicycle, sold my racks....check it out!

Thanks for your response regarding Yakima. I did check out the Bike Friday link, but I need three bikes, and I would like to take bikes but I need three and $3,000 to $9,000 is a lot more important to me than 3 bicycles, especially since I all ready have 3 nice bikes, except a good bit less expensive. But thanks anyway.
