My wife and I started fulltiming a month ago. We tow a Jeep Wrangler and use a rack on the spare to carry our 2 mountain bikes. After towing for 1300 miles through rain and dirt the bikes were a mess, including having about a cup of water inside my wife's bike frame. I went to an awning company and told them what I wanted them to make to enclose the bikes and at least offer them some protection. They followed my description perfectly and the results are in these photos. The one problem we overcame was to make a cover with clear vinyl end panels that did not conceal the Wrangler's tail lights.

Hey Dan, looks great! We bought one from Amazon which zips to keep the bikes reasonably dry and it's been well worth it. We use a Blue Ox rack mounted on the tow bar so the bikes stay between the coach and toad.

Sounds like you guys are enjoying your full timing!
