They say it is not suitable for use behind and RV. Does anyone know why this is the case?

We actually took our bikes behind our rv last week and it worked fine, we added a four inch bolted on hitch receiver and had receiver on top of bumper so there's no chance of bikes hitting when going over a bump.

We use our's for our RV. We set it on the ground and use rebar that my husband bent to keep it in place.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

As long as you anchored it so that it didn't slide around when travelling I don't see why you couldn't put it in an RV.

It seems to me it would be more accessable by having it on the back of the trailer than if placed in the double hitch on the vehicle. I have a cover by my bikes and with the cover, accessability would be an issue in using the double hitch.

You would be better off and safer using an extended coupler than an extended hitch. Some couplers are double the length of this hitch extension. Which will move the RV further away from your back window when making sharp turns

No. It is for heavy vehicles. It is slippery for trying to use with a wheelchair, which was why I bought it. It would be great for an rv to climb a curb, but doesn't work for household access.

What class rv do you have? Is your rv 31' even? Once I have this information I can better assist you. Thanks

Be sure to take the tension off the sway control if backing sharply. Otherwise, I haven't had any backing into my driveway or campground.

I bought it to use in my RV, which is a class C because I work via internet. I put the antenna on the window over the cab (suction cup) and it has worked very well (where there is a signal) when driving or dry camping in areas like AZ, UT, Eastern OR & WA, MT, WY, SD, NE, KS, TN, Texas, LA, MS & AL. I use Verizon Mifi as my ATT cell is useless except in metro areas. I also use in in the toad when exploring, but then it goes on the roof. I'm off the beaten path quite a bit and very pleased with it. It's fun to do a comparison of "bars" with & without the booster at various locations. Would buy it again.

It would not work in an RV. The back does stick out further. Not to mention this is an AWFUL piece of furniture. Great concept, but absolute junk.

I believe that is supposed to mean don't mount it permanently in an RV. It is safe to use in a well vented area. Just remember that the exhaust is hot and produces noxious and dangerous fumes.

Concur with prior comment "Michael," who states put it in the best location available. In this case, the flat metal surface on your RV roof may serve as a ground plane if you mount it directly above your RV at least 1/4 wavelength (8'.) However, you may be surprised how well it works when attached to the side of your home (again, try for 8' or more above your roof line.) Always mount an antenna so if it falls, it will not touch power lines. As a rule of thumb, mast support/tie-downs every 10-12'. Always a good idea to use a surge/lightning suppressor and ground with at least a 5' copper rod. Concur with prior comment "Michael," who states put it in the best location available.

I have to say!!! I have a small RV and I LOVE THIS rear view monitoring.. works great!!! no problems with mine.. this Is capable of full time rear view monitoring. Just need to hook it up so it get power when your KEY is turned on... You can hook it up to your backup lights if you like also.. Hope this Helps..

You can't hook up the trailer with this on. The purpose of this device is to prevent someone from hooking up your trailer and driving off with it.

No problem if you sit behind.. the hot airflow is towards front. Air intake is from side and hot air blows out from the front vents.

If the rain is coming off one location, say for instance, where the awning meets the roller, you may be able to get it to work. These are really made to go on the end of the rain channel on the roof to divert the rain/AC condensation off and away from just running down the side of the RV
