[A/S] Rear bumper bike racks






The fastest way in the world, to get "rear end separation" on "any" 
trailer Airstream ever built, is to install a bike rack.

Just consider why Airstream no longer puts batterys in the rear of a 
trailer.

A simple calculation of "moment arm" will tell you not to do it.

Oh sure, some have tried it, and get away with it. 

Leaning over the edge is "OK" but when the problem happens, don't be 
surprised how much it costs to repair.

We have at least one trailer per week, that comes in with the rear 
end separation problem.

Costs? Any where from about $300.00 to over $5000.00 (five thousand), 
depending on the model and the severity.
