Küat’s receiver hitch-mounted bicycle racks may be used with some recreational vehicles (RVs) as described
below. Many types of RVs subject the rack and bicycles on it to high forces and extreme movements. As a
result, Küat does not recommend using our receiver hitch-mounted products on RVs that will likely expose
the rack to unacceptable conditions.
Küat’s standard warranty will cover use of any of its 2-inch receiver hitch-mounted bicycle racks on
motorhomes (as defined in 49 C.F.R. 571.3) satisfying all of the following requirements:
1. The receiver hitch is directly attached to the motorhome chassis, not just to the bumper;
2. The rear-most point of the receiver hitch where the bicycle rack will be attached is no more than 64 inches
from the rear axle of the motorhome; and
3. The vehicle is a class B type motorhome as described below.
Class B type motorhomes are commonly known as van conversions and comprise a completed van-type
vehicle which has been altered to provide temporary living quarters. Class B type motorhomes have a gross
vehicle weight rating of 10,000 lbs or less.
In addition, the 2 inch receiver Transfer™ v2 and the 2-inch receiver Piston Pro X may be used on RVs (both
motorhomes and trailers) satisfying all of the following requirements:
1. The receiver hitch is directly attached to the RV chassis, not just to the bumper; and
2. The bicycle rack is in the 2-bike configuration with no add-on unit attached.
Please check the Warnings section of the User Guide for load weight limits applicable to your rack when used
on an RV. Lower weight limits apply.
Even if the conditions above are met, any RV may be operated in a way that will expose Küat’s products to
conditions that they are not designed to handle. The operator of the RV is responsible to operate the RV in a
manner that will not overload the rack, such as by excessive speed over rough roads or speed bumps, rapid
turning movements, driving the RV over changes in gradient that will bring the rack in contact with the
ground, or other similar actions.
