We were on a trip to the Keys last year, and had 2 bikes mounted on the ladder bike rack. Pulled into a cg in Miami, and hubby noticed something swinging in the mirror. Upon inspection the ladder had pulled completely off the camper. The only thing holding the ladder on was the screws on top. The bikes were swinging in the wind. Thank goodness, we pulled over when we did. Otherwise, we would have had bikes all over the interstate. The ladders just are not strong enough, and we were only carrying two children's bikes. We had used the rack several times with no problems. I assume over time the screws just eventually gave way. So, no, do not put your bikes on the ladder.
