Seems like a pretty good rack.  Haven't had it on the road yet.
Also fits the 2-inch receiver on the truck so will probably use it that way first.

That's a mighty shiny Pod you have there!  Looks like the bikes work well on the back on the Pod.

We now have one of those, after the bikes got all chewed up with the Walmart Bell.  Only problem is one of the allen set screws underneath works loose after a few hundred miles, even when tightened with a cheater pipe.

Try some Locktite on the screw?

I've used it on rifle scope screws, but never on anything that size,  duh, never made the connection.

I just bought a 2015 R-Pod 182G and looking at options to transport two bikes.  It does have a 1.25"
 receiver on the back of the trailer.  I have read some warnings about putting a bike rack in the trailer receiver.  Since your post was four years could you let me know if everything has worked out okay with your back rack.

Still using it, all the rubber parts intact no issues at all, have been happy with it.  Now on the back of a Coachmen 195 rbs.
