{"product_id":"camco-51492-rv-ladder-bike-rack-holds-2-bikes","title":"Camco 51492 RV Ladder Bike Rack, Holds 2 Bikes","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Camco 51492 bolts right onto your RV or van's rear ladder and carries two bikes, up to 60 pounds total. It's built from steel with a folding frame, so it stows flat against the ladder when you're not hauling bikes. Cradle arms and straps hold each bike steady, and the soft-grip handles and locking pins make loading quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you travel with bikes and you're tired of wrestling with a hitch rack or hauling them inside, the Camco 51492 gives you a simpler option. It mounts straight to the rear ladder on your RV or van and carries up to two bikes. No hitch receiver needed, no roof to climb. You use the ladder that's already back there, and your bikes ride along behind you where you can keep an eye on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rack is rated for up to 60 pounds total, which covers a pair of standard adult bikes or a mix of kids' and adults' rides for a family on the road. That 60-pound number is the ceiling for the whole rack, not per bike, so it pays to weigh what you're loading. Two lightweight trail bikes are no problem. A pair of heavy e-bikes, on the other hand, can push past that limit fast, so check your bike weights before you count on hauling them this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLadder mounting has a real appeal for a lot of rigs. Class C motorhomes, camper vans, and travel trailers with a rear ladder already have the mounting point built in, and this rack puts that ladder to work. You keep your hitch free for a tow setup or a cargo carrier, and you skip the overhead lifting that a roof rack demands. For anyone who's tried to hoist a bike over their head onto a tall roof, loading at ladder height is a welcome change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamco built this one out of steel and finished it in silver, so it holds up to highway miles and the weather that comes with them. Give the pins and straps a quick look before each trip, wipe the frame down now and then, and it'll keep doing its job season after season. The frame folds, which is the part full-timers appreciate most. When the rack is empty, it folds flat against the ladder instead of sticking out behind the rig and catching every low branch in the campground. Fold it down when you're loading bikes, fold it back up when you're done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bike sits in a cradle system with straps that wrap the frame and hold it against road bounce. The cradles keep the bikes separated so handlebars and pedals aren't fighting each other on a rough stretch of two-lane. Soft-grip handles give you something comfortable to grab when you're setting the rack or lifting a bike into place, which matters when you're doing it at the end of a long driving day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses locking pins that hold the rack to the ladder rungs. It's a tool-light setup that most owners can handle in a few minutes the first time, and faster after that. Because it clamps to the ladder, take a minute to make sure your ladder is solidly mounted and rated to carry the extra load. A ladder that's only meant to hold your weight climbing up top is a different thing from one carrying 60 pounds of bikes bouncing down the interstate. Snug the pins down and give the rack a firm shake before you pull out, the same check you'd give any load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know up front. This version ships without a lock. The rack holds your bikes securely for travel, but it doesn't lock them to the ladder against theft. If you're parking overnight at a busy campground or a trailhead, run a cable lock through the frames and the rack. It's cheap insurance and easy to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a straightforward, honest piece of gear for RV and van travelers who want their bikes along without the cost or bulk of a hitch system. It won't turn your rig into a bike-hauling semi, but for two bikes on the back ladder, it does exactly what you need. Load up, strap in, and go find some new trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounts to an RV or van rear ladder, so you use space you already have instead of a hitch or roof rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHolds up to 2 bikes for two riders on one trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e60-pound total weight capacity handles a pair of standard bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction stands up to the road and the miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFoldable frame folds flat against the ladder when the rack is empty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCradle system with straps keeps each bike cradled and secured against road bounce\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft-grip handles make lifting and positioning the rack easier on your hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLocking pins hold the rack firmly to the ladder rungs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilver finish keeps a clean look on the back of the rig\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips without a lock, so add your own cable lock for theft protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow many bikes does the Camco 51492 hold?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt carries up to 2 bikes, with a 60-pound total weight capacity across the whole rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhere does this bike rack mount?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt mounts to the rear ladder on your RV or van and attaches using locking pins that hold it to the ladder rungs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat is the weight capacity?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eUp to 60 pounds total.
