Bicycle rack for towing ball
These bicycle racks are hooked on the trailer ball of the motorhome. Depending on the model, up to 4 bicycles can be carried and they are usually accompanied by rear lights and a special space to place a second license plate for the motorhome. An example is the well-known Cross Cyclone 3 that comes with an anti-theft system.
Before buying them, it must be verified that these bicycle carriers are compatible with the tow ball model that we have placed.
This type of bike rack is very easy to use and manually foldable, which is very practical to open the tailgate without problems. The only drawback arises for those motor homes that do not have a tow ball attached. Installing it can cost around € 200 0 250 €.
