The final answer, when speaking to a supervisor was "Highland Ridge doesn't have a recommendation to correct this issue at the current time." Seriously? When further prompted I was pointed in the direction of the frame manufacturer ("since HR uses stock frames from them, and can't control what they get."). It seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is saying. use a cargo rack, you can't use a cargo rack, etc. Why would you market a "luxury 5th wheel" that you can "bring the whole family" and not take in to account bringing any bikes with them? After several calls to customer service and the parts department I've been told sever different conflicting things. The problem is, if you can find a bike rack that goes into a 1 1/4" receiver, and is rated for use on the back of an RV, it only handles a maximum of 2 bikes! There are 5 of us in the family and that doesn't count any friends that our kids may bring. Their solution (if you don't want to just put the bikes inside - um, no, not going to have them bounce off the walls of a new trailer)? Buy an add-on 1 1/4" receiver that bolts on to pre-installed brackets on the frame. What this translates to is you have no place to attach a rear cargo rack or bike rack. This unit has a wrapped rear cap which means there is no 4x4 square bumper or frame sticking out the back of the unit. to transport bikes (or the lack there of). The biggest complaint I have is the ability We just picked up our 2017 427BHS in January and aside from loving the floor plan (which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of only 1) that's one of the only few nice things I can say about it. This will be the first and last Highland Ridge product I'll own. ![]()
