Default Bike Rack for Newell Coach

We need to purchase a bike rack that fits our Newell while towing our car. Any suggestions on type of rack I should buy.

Paul I'm not a bike rider but you may want to check camping world or discountramps.com I think it is. There are a few here who bike so I'm sure they will leave some input that will be more helpful.

Depending on how you use your bikes, you might be better off getting a rack for the toad. Depending on what year Newell you have, you also might consider a front mount rack, mine has 2 receivers in front.

Jon, what brand is your front mount set-up? I have never used one like that.

I don't have one, but with two receivers up front I'm pretty sure that I could fabricate a pretty bitchen one I have a single receiver 4 bike rack that would probably block one headlight or the other, but I can put it on either the Newell or the toad if present.

There it is! Actually, I wonder if that interferes at all with the length or if wouldn't count it? It would be a pretty smooth ride up front.
