Our most popular trailer hitch receiver for RV's is the Curt # 13703. It will fit trailers with a frame that measures between 22 to 72 inches wide. It can be bolted or welded onto the trailer.
Another style is the Ultra-Fab bumper mount receiver. We have one for bumpers that are 4 by 4 inches # UF35-946402 or for 4-1/2 by 4 inch bumpers, like # 337RVA24. You'll need to verify that your trailer's bumper can support the weight before using this style.
If you don't already have a bike rack I suggest the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476. Not all bike racks are rated for the back of an RV or trailer because of the added stress on the rack. The LongHaul is designed to withstand the stress and still includes other features such as ZipStrip straps and locks.
