Evangeline: Hi it's Evangeline from eTrailer.com and today we are looking at our Swagman Bike Cover for RVs here at eTrailer. Now this is a great cover for your bikes, especially on long road trips, cross-country trips. Something that you use to protect your bikes and your bike rack from the dirt, the grim of the road, as well as the elements.The cover works on hanging-style and platform-style bike racks. Right now we have it on our platform-style bike rack and it's large enough to fit your large bikes. We have an electric bike in here. It will fit your large cruisers as well, because there is so much space in there for your bikes.
It's made of 420-denier nylon, which is nice and strong, and weather-resistant, so you won't have to worry about the rain and the snow damaging your bikes.So on each side, we have here in the front and in the back, there's this pocket here. So what this does is when you open it this is meant for your hanging-style bike racks because the arms go through. But with it here on our platform-style rack I like it as to how it has that open space for ventilation, as well as an easy way to access your bikes while they're inside the bag.At the bottom, near our shank, is the small holes. And these are meant to be there so that if there's water that does get inside your cover, some way, some how, this is a great way for them to drain out the bottom.So remember you're not supposed to use this cover to keep your bikes in place, that's the job of your bike rack, it's there to cover your bikes and protect them from the outside.So if you want to look inside you can see the inside of our cover, this is the outside material and this is inside, and it's thing but very durable and very sturdy. I like how it feels here and I actually like how it's lightweight, it was easier to wrap around.
And that's what it looks like on the inside.Since it is a universal fit, and it's meant to fit around your large cruisers and you're large electric bikes, you might have a different fit on yours. Like what we have here is there's a bit of extra material hanging out. So my tip for you, because that is going to happen, is just to find a way to bunch up the material and put it towards the back of the cover against the RV wall, and that will be your best fit as you drive down the highway. So let's take a look at how we installed it.For platform-style racks, like this one, you need to insert the shank through the hole in your cover first. So you can find it by this hook and loop strap, which is strapped over it.
Take that down, insert your shank through it, and then you can install your bike rack into your hitch receiver.Before installing it over our bike rack I like to just spread it out and make sure that it's in the right position, that it's not inside out, which I have done and had to correct myself. So this is correct. We have the inside facing outside. And you have to make sure that the Swagman logo is right over there on the upper right side. So if it's in this position you're ready to put it over your bike and your bike rack.When you're installing it by yourself or just one person the easiest way to do it is to drap it over the handlebars.
So starting from the back I just leave it up there, and see I can just drape it over and kind of get it into place with my bike before I go on the other side. Here it can just grip onto the handlebars and this deep. Okay with that in place we can now do the front. So I put it up, and then I get the zipper, and I zip up towards the top. So they have zippers on each side, so if you don't reach over you can just start to zip up from here. What I did, since I'm a little bit vertically challenged, is I pulled the cover closer to me so I didn't have to reach over the top, so that's just an option for you if you need to do that. There we go.I found that the best fit is to have the zipper run through the middle of your bikes and bike rack, so we'll just rearrange our cover to fit better around our bike rack. It's also a cool thing to note to have the Swagman up here in the upper right and that will just keep things aligned. That looks good.With the zipper running down the middle you can then strap it together and this cover has five straps, so one on each side and three in the middle. So I'll just strap this and strap the other side. With both sides strapped down what I like to do is I like to throw one of the back middle ones over the handle bars and it's really just up to you what you find is the best fit
