The Stromberg Carlson BC-202 carries two bicycles on an adjustable platform rack fitted to a 2-inch hitch receiver. Use the manufacturer's exploded drawing to identify the frame, folding shank, wheel cradles, J-hooks and straps before looking for a replacement.

If a component is not linked on NewRVParts, provide its exact number when asking about availability. The optional BC-2FT fat-tire adapter is a separate accessory for tires wider than the standard wheel cradle.

Mounting and bicycle loading

Install the rack in a suitable 2-inch receiver with the specified stabilizing pin, washers and retaining clip. Adjust the left and right wheel cradles to support both tires, lower the long and short J-hooks over the bicycle frames, and fasten all four wheel-cradle straps. The manual directs owners to remove bicycles before operating the tilt-down mechanism.

Receiver model, not a bumper kit: BC-202 is the 2-inch receiver version. If you need the factory rack with an included adapter for a compatible welded RV bumper, see BC-202BA. The manufacturer has not approved either model for e-bikes.

For other carrying arrangements, see our CC-275 Bike Bunk and LA-102 ladder bike-rack guide, or return to the RV rack and ladder diagrams index.
