We have a Yakima two-bike hitch rack.
Very solid construction and the keyed-alike lock systems are handy to use.

Camping World sells a model made by Swagman which carries 3 bikes. They may also have a 4 bike model. Much easier to use than Yakima and much more expensive models. We have had our's since 2006 and I highly recomend it.


2nd... I have the 4 bike model and love it.

CW does not seem to list the one I have, here is one like it at a great price rack I like the way it clamps the bikes instead of rubber straps since you won't be able to see them.

I got a 4 bike carrier made by Graber. We use it everytime we go anywhere. It bounces very little. I can't even tell it's back there.
We carry 3 Beach Crusiers and 1 BMX bike.

I have an Allen 4 bike carrier I paid under $100 for. I have had Thule and Yakima roof mount carriers and personally would not pay that kind of money again.
The Allen works just as well and was half the price as the big names.

I have used it on various vehicles including the Rogue and have had no problems and have noticed no extra stress on the hitch or suspension.


I believe I have the same Allen 4 bike carrier. Does a good job, incredible price. Uses a bolt to cinch it tight, very minimal bounce or sway while underway. Never had it on the RV, but use it a bunch on the minivan. No problem mounting up 16" bikes.

EricGT,
Does your Rogue have a 2" receiver or are you using an adapter?
