Expert Reply:
The best 2-bike rack for use with the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR. This bike rack secures your bikes by the wheels, so it is compatible with any frame style out there that doesn't have front fenders. The Transfer V2 also comes with bike and rack locks to give you some peace of mind when you have to make a pit stop during travel. This is a heavy-duty rack that will not only combat the extra movement at the back of the travel trailer, but also has a weight capacity of 60 lbs per bike.
The Curt trailer hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight rating which the Escapee plus 2 bikes won't even come close to. Bumpers are made differently though so you will need to either reference your owner's manual or check with the dealer/manufacture to see what the weight rating is for your specific bumper.
