Carry the whole crew's bikes without compromising your tow vehicle's rear access. The Curt 18065 is a steel, hitch-mounted carrier that secures up to five bikes and 225 lbs total on any standard 2-inch receiver -- RVs, trucks, SUVs, and vans included. A tilt-down design keeps the tailgate, rear door, and storage bays reachable even when the rack is fully loaded.
Whether you're setting up camp and want pedal-powered trail access or hauling kids' bikes to a weekend event, the Curt 18065 handles the load. Tapered carrier arms accommodate everything from 20-inch kids' bikes to full-size adult mountain and road bikes without requiring separate adapters for most frame styles.
The rack ships at 43 lbs with a steel construction that's engineered to stay put. A threaded anti-wobble shank locks the rack tight in the receiver tube, eliminating the side-to-side sway that loose-fit racks develop over miles of highway driving. Built-in reflectors add a passive safety layer when parked or loading bikes in low light.
Foam-padded, rubber cradle arms grip each bike's frame and protect paint and finish from scratches during transport.
The entire rack pivots down so you can open a tailgate, rear hatch, or RV storage bay without unloading a single bike.
All five carrier arms fold flat against the rack when no bikes are loaded, reducing overall footprint for garage storage or transit.
Threaded tension bolt tightens against the receiver tube interior, minimizing rack movement and protecting both rack and hitch from wear.
Class A, B, and C motorhomes with a 2-inch rear receiver can run this rack without a weight-distribution setup. Five bikes means the whole family rides -- and rear bay access stays usable throughout the trip. Confirm your receiver's tongue weight rating covers the 43 lb rack plus loaded bikes before heading out.
Tapered arms are designed to fit a wide range of frame styles and wheel sizes, including kids' 20-inch bikes up through full-size adult frames. Step-through (women's) frames and non-traditional frame geometries may require a top-tube adapter bar (not included) to hang securely from the cradles. Bikes with a top tube fit most easily without accessories.
When mounted to a motorhome or tow vehicle, five loaded bikes extend several feet behind the rear bumper. Check local regulations on rear overhang and use supplemental lighting or a flag where required. Bikes should not contact each other or the vehicle's bodywork during travel -- adjust cradle spacing as needed.
