This bike rack was originally given to me by the guys at Cycle Smithy for Ed and I to use on our way to Bike Summer in San Francisco. It served me well for many years but would only hold two bikes. The fact that it connected to the trailer hitch it prevented the back door from opening and I had to have the spare tyre in the car because the rack was not designed for a car with a mount on the back. So David and I customized it to mount on the spare wheel lug posts. This now allows me to keep the spare outside and open the door with bikes on the rack. Plus we rebuilt the rack to hold three bikes. This will make it much better for three people going camping with bikes.
