Küat RV Compatibility Warning Küat’s receiver hitch-mounted bicycle racks may be used with some recreational vehicles (RVs) as described below. Many types of RVs subject the rack and bicycles on it to high forces and extreme movements. As a result, Küat does not recommend using our receiver hitch-mounted products on RVs that will likely expose the rack to unacceptable conditions.
