Will Swagman 4 Bike Carrier S80600 Clear Spare Tire on 2013 Skyline Koala 25DS Travel Trailer
Question:
I am getting ready to buy this rack. Will it accommodate the spare tire that is mounted on the trailer? I have a 2013 Syline Koala 25DS.

The answer to your question is going to depend on how far from the bumper the spare tire extends rearward. When installed to your bumper, the first bike slot will sit 4-3/4 inches rearward of the most rearward point of the bumper. To determine if your spare tire will interfere, you'll need to measure 4-3/4 inches rearward from the bumper to see if this distance will clear your spare tire.
The upright leg of the rack will sit about 2 inches rearward of the bumper
Keep in mind that even if your first bike will clear the tire, the spare tire may interfere with the bike pedal on that side.
If you find that this rack won't work for you, there are other options. If there's any way you could get by with carrying two bikes on a rack, Swagman makes the Deluxe Rack, part # S80501, that is designed to fit around spare tires. The rack is compatible with continuously welded steel bumpers that are between 4 and 4-1/2 inches square. The other two bikes could be carried at the front of the TT, using a Bike Bunk, part # CC-275 and an inexpensive two bike rack like # TH9058.
