This rack is designed for typical use and applications (on paved or smooth gravel roads). Do not use this rack on your 5th wheel if you are planning on driving on rough roads or where the rack and bikes will be subject to jarring and/or shock, or any vehicle with very stiff springs that will transfer the load of shock directly to the rack and bikes. Another thing to take into consideration is to make sure that the bike tires will not be too close to your exhaust pipe(want to keep it about 6" away or more) as this can cause damage to your bikes or melt the tires. Also, driving a little slower with a bike rack can also help prevent possible damage as well.
