Where did you get the Vena monitor from? And what did it cost? Did you get the optional A/C current sensor?

The things that come to those that wait will be the junky stuff left by those that got there 1st.

Lucky you. Don't know where to get one of the sensors, maybe you could try the company. Email them at sales @ vena . com. I emailed them asking about the monitor and they replied they no longer make it due to lack of interest in the RV community.

I now use the same rack, but just used the provided U-bolts to attach it to the bumper.

Using that setup, I don't need to use any straps to steady the bike rack. I've had people follow me tell me it is rock steady even on bumpy railroad crossings.

Our intentions were to just attach it to the bumper... BUT (always a but in there), the stabilizer jack supports were all the way across the bumper. With the spare tire, there was nowhere to attach it, hence the 4" receiver.

Do like I did - save a Search on eBay - it will send you email if ever one does pop up for sale. That is what I did - had forgotten about it, and one day an email. Needless to say, I jumped on it for $75. I have my search still on, looking for the AC sensor donut.
Good luck.

Is that rack from Masterbuilt - the one they call 4-in-1, 'cause that is the one I ordered too for $50. Have got to install it yet.
Looks real good for the $$.

Yes it is. I forgot how sturdy Masterbuilt builds their stuff. I also have their hitch hauler rack we use when going on vacation and that thing is built like a Mack Truck. Only thing is I added the knob on the center support so it would be adjustable without tools.
