Pictures-Solid 1.25" bike carrier rear of Monty
Pictures were requested -- attached
We have a 2010 - Montana 3150RL with a 1.25" hitch receiver that is bolted on the trailer frame. I noticed the hitch somewhat twisted when it had weight on it, so I took the bolts out and took the hitch to a welder and he welded a second metal bar (same material as original) with approx 6 inch pieces of the same metal welded between the two bars, which created in a sense a ladder. The cost of the material and welder was $80.00. I bolted the hitch back on to the trailer frame and now there is not any movement at all. I have a cargo carrier that I paid $50.00 for at Walmart with a 2" draw bar. I bought a 2" to 1.25" adapter which is solid metal and had the same welder weld the adapter to the 2" draw bar, which eliminates movement.
I bought 2- bike fork carrier/platforms and bolted them to the cargo carrier. We take the tires off our bikes and place them into the fork carriers and strap down the back of the bikes and have no movement at
