Camco Clamp-N-Carry RV Ladder Rack — Lockable Chair & Bike Carrier, Model 51430, Fits 7/8"–1" Rails, Swing‑Away Arm

Camco's Clamp-N-Carry is a lockable RV ladder rack that holds a bike or multiple camp chairs securely while keeping ladder access available.

Built to attach to most standard RV and van ladders, the Camco Clamp-N-Carry (model 51430) gives you an easy way to transport chairs or a bicycle without using roof space or hitch mounts. The unit includes adapters for 7/8" and 1" ladder rails, an adjustable stabilizing strap, and a swing-away arm so you can still climb the ladder when the rack isn't carrying gear. Made from glass-filled nylon and zinc-plated hardware, it resists corrosion and accepts common 1/8" padlocks for added security.

How much weight can the Clamp-N-Carry support and how is load divided?

This rack is rated to handle up to 50 lb per arm and 100 lb total when both sides are in use. That means you can hang a single bike on one arm or distribute several lightweight folding chairs across both arms.

• 50 lb maximum per arm
• 100 lb combined capacity
• Use both arms for balanced loads (chairs or dual bike setups)

Will it fit my RV ladder and what comes in the box?

The Clamp-N-Carry is designed to clamp to most ladders with 7/8" or 1" diameter rails; adapters are included to ensure a snug fit. The package contains the clamp assembly, swing arm, adjustable strap for securing items, mounting hardware, and adapters for the two common rail sizes.

• Fits standard 7/8" and 1" ladder rails
• Includes rail adapters and mounting hardware
• Adjustable strap for stabilizing chairs during travel

How does the rack protect gear and stay secure while traveling?

Camco designed the rack with durable materials and a locking provision so your gear stays in place and discourages theft. The swing arm folds out of the way for ladder use, and the strap helps prevent chairs from bouncing or shifting on rough roads.

• Lockable design accepts standard 1/8" padlocks
• Glass-filled nylon with UV inhibitors resists wear and sun damage
• Zinc-plated hardware helps prevent rust and corrosion

How does installation work and can I still access the ladder?

Installation is a clamp-on process using the supplied adapters and hardware; no permanent drilling into the ladder is required. When you’re not carrying gear, the arm swings up and out of the way so the ladder remains usable.

• Clamp-on mounting requires only basic hand tools
• Swing-away arm returns for unobstructed ladder access
• Removable strap and simple adjustments for different gear types

Who is this for: The Camco Clamp-N-Carry is ideal for RV and van owners who need a compact way to carry camp chairs or a bicycle without roof or hitch racks. It suits travelers who value easy installation, corrosion-resistant materials, and the option to lock and stabilize gear for road trips.
