I may have an option for you, however all of our bumper-mount RV hitch receivers are designed to fit larger bumpers than what you have on your camper. Your best bet may be to install a frame-mount hitch like the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703 instead. This trailer hitch is designed for use on trailers or RVs and will be either bolted or welded to the trailer's frame. It will fit box, C-channel, or I-beam frames that are 22 inches to 72 inches wide and provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening that will work perfectly with your bike rack.

I have attached a sample installation video that you can use for reference.

Please also note that Curt does require that stabilizing straps like # 18050 be used with this hitch when installing hitch-mounted accessories like your bike rack.
