The SportRack 3 Bike Rack, Spare Tire Mount SR2813 has been discontinued and is not compatible with a trailer. I called Thule (the maker of SportRack) and they said it will not work on a trailer due to the added impact of the trailer movement that you don't get on a towing vehicle.

I've linked the page to all of our trailer compatible options. Your options will be limited to a hitch mount or a bumper mount if you have between a 4 and 4-1/2 inch square bumper.

If you don't have a trailer hitch receiver, you may be interested in the Curt # 13703 that adjusts from 22 inches to 72 inches wide and will work on box frame, c-channel frame or I-beam frames.
