The bicycle rack mounted easily by myself without help from another person. It is very strong and holds our two bicycles just as I had hoped. I slipped a pool noodle over the upright support bar to prevent scratching the inside bicycle. The only thing I can suggest is that the product would have been better if it included the cover for the upright support pole and some strapping material to keep the bicycles solidly in place while traveling. The strapping material is not a big priority for me though because I have lots of it.

This was a great compromise in cost, ease of install and use.
Easily attached to the bumper (and saved cost as I didn't need to install a hitch on the RV).
Bikes went in well, but needed to use pool noodles to insulate the bikes from each other and from the central pole. (Will switch to more sturdy pipe insulation next time). Add some bungies and velcro straps (to hold the wheels) and you're all set.
Held our 2 mountain bikes flawlessly over our 8,000 mile road trip last summer.

Cannot slide the two sections far enough apart so that both bike wheels will fit into their respective slot. When mounted the ends of the rack stick past the bumper on the vehicle side too far. This means that the ends are sticking into the cut out for the RV back wall above the tow hitch which limits moving the sections further apart. Also an improvement could be made by having a hinge that would allow for lifting the rack in an upright storage position.

It's been just over a year tha I purchased my Swagman two-bike rack for my 5th wheel. The customer service I received form "etrailer" was exemplary. I had questions about the size and my CSR actually called the manufacturer got the answer and called me back! The rack was an easy mount requiring one wrench, two hands and about ten minutes. It's sturdy, looks great and functions flaulessly! Although it isn't a suggested procedure, at 265 pounds I stand on mine to wash my back window. Of course I stand close to the bumper and not on the outter edge, but my point is, it's a very sturdy unit and is at a great price point. If you need a rack look no further than, etrailer and Swagman!

Ive sold my 5th wheel and the bike rack but the new owner loved the rack. My experience with the rack is I cant imagine a rack being easier to install, more sturdy for the price point or in general a great piece of equipment.
by: Mark S.08/19/2017
Bike rack was exactly how it appears. Quality material of construction for what it is. Total time to assemble, about 20 minutes. Had a question about shipping time, got a quick response from George at etrailer. Bike rack actually came in earlier than scheduled date.
by: Stuart 04/06/2023
Nice rack for the money, easy install, looks good on the rear bumper of the motor home. One item of caution....be sure that when performing a sharp turn in the motor home, that the bike rack does not hit the tow vehicle if in fact a vehicle is in tow. I checked this for clearance before I went on the road
by: Bill 12/13/2019
So far so good, using it to mount a generator to the rear bumper of our 5th wheel. Have not had her on the road yet, so I'm not sure how it will hold up. It feels very secure so I'm feeling good that it will hold up.

I ask for information on the bike racks that would fit my rv and they answered all my questions. My order arrived sooner than I thought and I installed it last nite and it will work fine. I am planning on sending pictures.
Thanks to all

The rack is great, just what I wanted. I recommend this to all the campers I meet with bikes.
by: Anna07/13/2022
I can’t really offer much on this as we haven’t used it. We were told the camper bumper isn’t strong enough to hold the weight. It will require some additional welding to the frame. Wish we had waited to purchase this unfortunately.

This rack is built for continuous welded steel square bumpers at least 4 inches and no more than 4.5 inches wide. This is not built for use on aluminum or spot weld bumpers. We do recommend checking with your trailer manufacturer to make sure that the factory bumper can support the weight of a loaded rack. This rack has a weight capacity of 70 lbs and the rack itself is roughly 20 lbs. If you are looking for something that does not require additional welding, then you might want to look into getting a universal hitch, like part # C13701, along with an RV rated bike rack, like part # S44FR.

Great price for a simple but effective bike rack. Have used it on the back of a 5th wheel RV, and overall it works well. Installation was very easy, be sure to adjust the position of the two pieces to fit your bicycle footprint. I just used some creative bungee cording to hold the bikes in place at the wheels and to the vertical pipe. The bikes are held firmly in place with very little movement.
My only real issue is with the vertical support, and its lack of adjustability. In my case, the bikes would lean towards the RV, with the handlebar hitting the glass window because it was so close. I attached a 2x4 spacer to the vertical support to position the inside bike straight up, and that took care of the issue, but it would be nice if there was some way of adjusting the bar.
Also, kudos to etrailer, for their great support. Delivery came early, and product was in great shape. I've used Etrailer before, and will continue to.

I bought not as a bike rack, but as a platform to bolt a couple large storage contains on the back of my camper. My regular hitch style bike rack fits right between...worked great. I've been using it for one year now...no problems.
by: Ken H.04/05/2012
Everything went great from the git go, the rack was at my front door the day I was told that it would arrive. The installation was a snap; it took about 15 minutes to complete, the only tool you need is a 9/16" wrench. The loading of the bikes are quick and easy, much better than hauling them in the bed of the pick up, which took a lot of time trying to strap them so they would not get damaged during the trip. Today was my first trip with the bike rack, I hauled 2 mountain bikes for 75 miles with no problem or damage to the bikes. Great product!
by: Ted N.05/22/2012
Bike Rack arrived in minimum time and was exactly as described. Have not installed yet, since I need to relocate the spare tire on my camper. I will use it in the same area as the spare tire.

I have now used the bike rack for two years. Many people have asked about it. I had my dealer move my spare tire underneath my fifth wheel behind the front battery storage area. He added a cable hook up to lower and raise the spare tire. Very similar to how spare tires are mounted in trucks. He did it for less than $100 .

I recently purchased the RV Bumper 2 bikeRack from etrailer.com. I received my purchase in a timely fashion and found the item to be well made and easy to install on the back of my View Finder travel trailer. I used it for the first time this past week to transport my wife's and my own mountain bike on our scheduled getaway to Astoria. It functioned flawlessly. The bikes were easy to load and unload and were secure during transport. I strongly recommend this product.

Fits and holds bikes very well, 4 inch bumper - they need to add more support for the upright bikes, they hit rear of trailer.

Ordered the bike rack on a Tuesday afternoon, UPS delivered the rack the following Thursday morning. The quality of the frame work is very sturdy. Excellent product. We installed the bike rack with no problem. I had looked for several months for an rv bumper bike rack and could not find one that we thought we would like or would work very well. My husband ran across this web site as he looked for a rack. We are very pleased......and gald we ordered from etrailer.com. We will do business again with them if ever needed. Could not take pictures, as I do not have a cell phone that can do that. Still old school......
by: Randy T.08/29/2015
I am very well pleased with my purchase of the 2 bike rack, It was easy to install. Just what I was looking for. The rack allowed me to free up that space in the back of the truck. Ordering was easy, and delivery was quick. Thank you.
by: Richard09/02/2021
A total piece of junk! Does not secure even one bike to the rack. If you used this product your bikes would not be there when you stopped. I wasted my money.
by: Josh R.08/17/2016
Seems like a great product. Easy to install with just a few basic hand tools. I had my 6 yr old daughter help me hold them in place while putting the U-bolt through but could be done with just one person. These are a little tricky if you have the rear bumper mounted tire carrier.
by: Chuck B.09/24/2016
This bike rack has great flexibility for any size bike. It could use some eye bolts for tie-downs, but it assembled easily.
by: Terrell07/23/2018
Very happy with this product. It was lightweight, yet strong enough to carry both bikes. Super easy to install! Would recommend it for anyone with a square tube style rear R/V bumper.
by: Dennis05/16/2016
This product fit our needs perfectly! Easy to install and the bikes fit well into the rack .

- Can the RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack Be Used Around a Spare Tire on a 20 Foot Jayflight Travel TrailerThe RV bumper bike rack # S80605 would be a great choice for your tent trailer, because it offers an easy install and will accept many different styles of bikes. As long as your spare tire does not extend past the face of the rear bumper on the trailer you should have no problems mounting the carrier and installing your bikes. This bike rack is made for continuous welded steel square bumpers at least 4 inches and no more than 4-1/2 inches wide. The only thing you should note is that the...
view full answer... - How to Determine If Swagman RV 2-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack is Right For Your ApplicationMany RV bumper manufacturers construct their product with a plastic cap or a hinged door instead of endcap, allowing bumper to be used for storage; apparently you have this type. Open that end piece to examine if the seam has spot welds (short welds at a number of separate points) or one continuous weld running the full length of the bumper; take note of the thickness of the metal while doing so. Some bumpers, frequently identified as heavy duty, will not have a weld seam at all but are...

- Is 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper Long Enough to Carry 2 Adult BikesAdult bicycles can vary in size, but generally speaking, the 40 inch inside width of the 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99050 won't be wide enough to carry a pair of bikes, so you'd need the 24" Extension for etrailer Bumper Mounted RV Cargo Carrier # e99052. That said, with the open floor design of Cargo Carrier # e99050 it will be difficult to get bikes to properly mount in the carrier, so if your only goal is to use this to carry bikes, a better option would be a bumper-mounted...

The # S80605 rack fits continuously welded steel bumpers that are 4 or 4-1/2 inches square. If the bumper is aluminum or is spot welded, the fear is that the bumper could be deformed by the force applied to it by the U-bolts that attach the rack to the bumper.

If you do not already have something to secure your bikes to part # S80605, then you may need the 10 foot Cable Lock, part # e98891. You will need to check with the RV manufacturer to see how much weight the bumper is rated to hold. You will need to calculate the weight of the bike rack plus the weight of the tandem bicycle.

view full answer... - Can a Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a 2015 Coleman Travel Trailer to Carry BikesThe bumper should be hollow. If it wasn't and was made of steel it would be very, very heavy! If the bumper has just one long weld its entire length then it would be a continuous weld. As far as the bumper capacity it can more than likely support the spare and a couple of bikes. But, to know for sure, I strongly advise contacting the manufacturer to ask so you got all your bases covered. If everything checks out you could use Curt hitch # E-100. But instead of doing that I actually recommend...

This mounts to the tongue of A-Frame trailers with widths between 12" - 52". The mounting bracket dimensions are 8" tall, 4-3/4" wide, and 2" deep; so you will want to compare this to your trailer to determine compatibility.

The best and safest solution is to look at frame mount hitches. I have included a link to them for you. They may cost more but they will be much safer to use. Another option, if you are looking to carry bikes using the bumper, is to use a bumper mount rack such as # S80605 for 2...

This sticks out 19 inches from the rear bumper which you'd have to measure to determine what type of clearance you have. It sits on top of the bumper too which may give more clearance below it for the dolly, but that depends on it's dimensions as well. This rack is only rated for 30 lbs though so you'll need to verify the weight of...

This is because any such mechanism or hinge would become a weak spot. All racks designed for use on an RV or motor home are built to withstand the extreme forces found at the rear of such vehicles. These are the same forces that cause the last seat in a school bus or roller coaster to have a rougher ride than seats that are more forward.

view full answer... - How to Attach Bikes to the Swagman RV Bumper Bike RackSwagman recommends bungee cords like # EM06623 or ropes be used to attach the bikes to the upright bar on the rack. I would also recommend securing the wheels to the bottom portion of the rack. This rack is meant to be used with bikes of many different sizes and configurations, securing the bikes to the rack is going to depend on the size and frame configuration of the bike. Determining the best way of securing the bike to the rack is left to the user.
view full answer... - Carrying Bikes While Also Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind a MotorhomeI do have a solution for you but the RV bumper rack # S80605 would interfere with flat towing a vehicle (especially when turning). You will need to use a dual receiver, # RM-077-2, to be able to both flat tow the Jeep Liberty and carry a hitch mount bike rack. You could then use a bike rack such as the Curt # C18085 and be good to go! I have linked videos of both bike racks for you.

This bike rack has independent wheel carriers so they can be moved to fit your specific needs.

In order to make both bikes fit, you'd need to adjust each portion of the rack so that both bikes barely fit, which wouldn't be very stable. A better alternative would be a ladder rack like part # LA-102. If you can install a receiver, there are some other options. The Swagman # S64663 would work well if you have a 4 inch square...

For this type of bike a better option may be a bumper-mount rack or a hitch-mount rack. If your RV has a 4- to 4-1/2-inch continuously-welded steel bumper (not a spot welded or aluminum bumper) then you can use a bumper-mount carrier like the Swagman # S80605.

view full answer... - Recommendation for RV Bike Rack for Tandem BikeFor the tandem bike, I suggest the RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, # S80605 by Swagman. This bike rack uses U-bolts to attach to the bumper of your RV. Bumper needs to be at least 4" and no more than 4-1/2" wide and will carry up to 2 bikes (30 lbs per bike). But suspect that would then be too far apart for the mountain bike. I don't have a solution that will handle both bikes in one bike rack.

It is possible that this might not be the bike rack for you. How wide are your tires? Would you be able to send a picture of your bikes on the rack?
