Bike Rack revisited

Previous posts have chronicled the issue with the bike racks for the back of the Jeep.  We finally found one online that looked like it might work.  The problem was that when ordering on line merchandise you are never sure when it will be shipped and delivered.  This is a problem for us since we move regularly.  But we figure out the timing and had the rack shipped to our next scheduled stop.  Then we were delayed by Diana's medical issue.  So we called the campground and told them our situation and asked them to hold all packages for us.  We had 3 separate items being delivered from 3 different shippers.  They said they'd hold our deliveries until we arrived.

The bike rack arrived and we put it and the bikes on the Jeep.  After considerable trial and error securing the bikes we got it.  We went for a short ride to see how things worked and  all was great.  The next day we hooked the Jeep with the bikes attached to the RV and drove 3 hours to our next spot.  We were on some rough roads, and traveling at 50 - 60- mph.  We had some sharp turns and more rough roads.  All traveled well.  Finally, the bike issues is resolved.
