Arvika Bike Racks

I have just finished installing this rack on my T@B.  If you are doing the install yourself, you will need two "c" clamps to hold and find your placement point on the trailer frame.  There are no suggested measurements where to place on the T@B frame.  You are on your own where you think it should fit.   

Pros:
1. Seems to well made, with a decent finish coat on the frame members.
2.  Bottom brackets when drilled and mounted to the trailer frame are very solid,

Cons:
1.  Upper frame members slide into the lower brackets and held on height position by a thumb screw, I think under load and the bouncy of the trailer they would loosen up and drop the carrier down on my propane cover. (I drilled through the inserted upper frame and lower brackets and will install a bolt through both members when traveling, thus it cannot drop)
2.  Even with the thumb screw tightened down and the bolt inserted through, I would like less movement in the rack.  (Working on that cure, they do make a bracket to attach to the carrier frame and jackstand.  But I have a toolbox, which I carry my sewer hoses in, which is attached to the frame between the propane cover and jack-stand.  So that will not work for me.)
3.  I replaced all the bolts that where part of the rack and also that came to mount it to the frame, with stainless steel bolts.  Extra $30.
4.  Also, had to cut off and reattach the gray tank sewer hose fitting and create a new support for it.

Make sure you have good quality steel drill bits, because the cheap ones will not do the job.

I really like the idea of this. I have been looking for a way to carry the bikes on my Outback. I wonder if this rack will work with the Outbacks platforms. Any ideas?

I am more concerned about the clearance of the aluminum platform adjacent to the propane/battery compartment. I looked at my setup and as you have mounted in the picture it won't clear. Really cool option though. Might have to figure something out in that style.

What model T@B do you have @gbelhafit? Thx

jebelhafit, did you have to cut your gray water drain to relocate? @jdargis mentions cutting and It looks like that is what we will also have to do in order for the rack to be fully supported. Do you have an idea of the measurement from the front of the trailer to where you attached your mounting brackets? As previously stated, instruction are less than helpful.
