Stromberg CarlsonLA-102 1-Inch Bike Rack for Universal Ladder, black

This worked fine on my RV ladder. we used it to move grandkids bikes for a week long trip.easy to install, easier if you have a friend to hold the 2 parts of the clamp in place when you attach it,

Be warned that this item does not come with instructions! To save you heartache and tears, you will need a socket wrench to install. I had to google videos on how to mount and there are some good ones out there. Once I got it mounted it worked great. I only haul a single bike on it and it holds up great on my camper ladder.

No problems so far. Used it to carry one bike < 400 mi round trip.Someone complained that the rubber straps provided were too hard to connect or didn't fit. I didn't have that problem. Note they are supposed to fit tight so that they don't come undone. I used a bumper bike carrier that had similar straps on it and it has worked fine over the years. Never came undone.Also, others have complained about the tubular metal support arms bending. I have not observed this issue.Will get a better workout next month as I'm planning on carrying two bikes on it across country from PA to MT and back. We'll see!I did have to move the spare tire / cover that is bolted to the rear bumper of my 5th wheel due to interference with the bike when it's mounted.I only had to loosen the two U-bolts that clamp the tire to the bumper and I was able to slide the whole thing to the left enough so that the tire now clears the bike. If you have a similar situation and cannot move the spare tire then you might also be able to mount the bike carrier higher on the ladder to resolve the clearance issue. I took the easy way out.

Lots of improvements could be made on this thing. I can’t even secure my bike properly without it flapping back-and-forth.

This will only work with 1” diameter ladder tubes. It doesn’t work with the most popular RV van in the US: Travato’ factory installed ladder.

Love this bike rack! We had one issue with our rv: it doesn’t have enough storage space for longer trips. We wanted to get a trailer hitch rack for extra storage, but needed a different way to take our bikes. This product was installed in about 20 minutes and does an awesome job! Only minor issue I have is that on our rv the ladder is pretty far over so the seat and handlebars hang out past the side of the rv just a few inches.

My wife and I put 2200 miles on this rack during a recent trip. Our two road bikes weight 41lbs total. The rack is spec'd at 50lbs or less. We found the rack to be very sturdy and worked great. At 50lbs limit, this rack is perfect for road bikes and probably could not support to heavier mountain bikes. We are very happy with this solution on our travel trailer.

The bike never moved all the way to Georgia. It works very good. The only problem I had was trying to install by myself it kept moving on me and with no directions I had it on a little wrong and had to start over. But it works after all of that.

Pour attacher derrière un VR.

Sturdy and serves its purpose well. Only gave 4 stars because installation was a little difficult for 1 person... doable though.

arrived quickly and so far so good. Unit was fairly easy to install and have used it once on some very rough back roads. It is rated for 50 lbs, but I have about 75 lbs on it.... I used additional bungee cords to keep everything from rubbing on the camper etc. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Screws too short to attach clamps even on a 1" ladder. No padding on the clamps so they scratch the ladder during installation. Also the photo isn't what the rack looks like, there are no black finishes on the clamps of at the top of the ladder as shown in the photo.Update: after using the bike rack I have dropped the rating. Bikes do not sit well in the cradle and when driving the uprights become loose.

Very tough to get two similar bikes mounted on it as The pedals and handlebars interfere with each other quite a bit. The installation was also a little tricky as the bolts should have been a quarter inch longer. I had to leave the lock washers out to install it but I can't see the nuts backing off as they are the nylon insert type which shouldn't back off anyway.
