I have been looking at this particular bike rack for a while and wanted to know whether anybody had one on the front of the A-frame of the jayco Expanda, if so do you find it cutting off your turning/reversing circle between car and bike rack.

Hey Darren Kerr.
I gave had one on my 16ft outback for a while and had lots of use. Never had a problem with reversing on turning. If you have an extended drawbar then def no worries. Only other thing I did was move my spare shell to under the van, behind the axle. Helped with reducing ball weight. I mounted it the same as the water tank under the van. Also if your stopping all the time for setup then then it's great to fold for so you don't have to take it off.

Are you able to leave the bikes on and fold down the bed? I know this may be asking a bit of clearance but would be great to avoid loading and unloading. Thanks
Do you find the bike carrier with bikes is too much weight on the rear? Others are saying they flex and wobble. I'm nowmuch stronger towards front mount despite the disadvantages.
