Hitch Pin Mounted Bike Rack

Several years ago I had info on a bike rack that mounts on the hitch pin of the Montana. I even talked to the company. Now I can't find any info on it and evidentially did not save the web site. There is a rig here in the park we are in that has one and Ed thinks it looks pretty good. The company was in Canada. Anyone know?????
Happy trails........................

Sue,

I remember seeing the thread but it's been too long for my short memory!

The problem I see with the hitch pin placement is that it is a long way up there. And those bikes get heavy in a hurry.

I really think a front rack or a rack on the back of the Monty would be the way to go. Once your rig is out of warranty go for it.

I now there is another one, also out of Canada, but can't find it at the moment. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Michael. That is the one I was looking for.
Dennis, the gentleman here that has one says he backs his truck up to the 5th wheel with the bikes in the bed of the truck and then it is real easy to lift them the small distance. We want to save the front of the truck in case I need a system like yours in the future.
Happy trails...................
