    New member, 62 YO from Houston TX. Bought our 2014 1794 3 years ago brand new to pull a 27' Jayco TT, which we bought at the end of June 2016.
    I found this site b/c I am looking for a way to take two bikes with us on camping trips.
    I am considering a front receiver hitch on the Tundra to do that. I am concerned about having to remove the hitch to do oil changes.

    Hello NW Arkansas! We have a camper shell on the truck, and the bed is usually fairly full of stuff we take camping. So, I want to avoid putting bikes in the bed, unless that is the only option, but, thanks for the suggestion.Oh, and yes, I do mean bicycles.

    I have seen bike racks that attach to the back of the travel trailer before. Thinking this would be your best bet.

    Welcome Dave. There are racks to put the bikes on top of the shell but that would be a pain. If you did the front receiver, and a TRD pro or RCI skid plate with the access plate, you might not have to pull the receiver to change the oil. I'm not sure how the receiver's mount. And there are bike racks for the back of the trailer. I think you've got a lot of options, just need to find the right one for your preferences.
