Very nice. Food for thought definitely. I love the rear cradle set up with the twist on the bars and the front wheel on the bike. Which setup did you like better, front or rear? Here is my current way too long with the step setup. This one is with a 4’ rise, but I think I would go 8’ rise and lose the step. Then a picture of the remodel just because it was a lot of work and I’m proud of it.

I guess I need to figure out the pictures.

I'm kind of 50/50 on which I liked better.

 

I think I preferred the front rack for longer drives unless the highways were going to be buggy - probably because I could easily keep an eye on the bikes. On the other hand, if I hit a deer, that's going to be a pricey claim. 

 

There's also some risk hanging weight from the plus nuts/unistrut/lolo rack setup on the back. Ultimately I never had an issue with either up until I sold the camper - except not being able to see well one time driving at night in the rain... I almost exclusively used the rear rack when around town unless I had several bikes.

 

When out camping, I never figured out a good way to keep the camper door open when there was a bike on the rear right rack - I think I used a bungee a couple of times.

 

For photos, I never figured out an easy way to upload them on this forum. I just drag and drop them into an image hosting service like imgur, then copy and paste the forum share image link into the text reply.

In the Member Support forum, there are several pinned threads on loading and presenting photos in your posts. IMO, using the image address with the picture icon gives the best results, as Ben mentions above.  Send me a PM if you need help getting started.
