I have a perfect solution for you and it actually does come from Hollywood Racks. I recommend taking a look at the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR.

This is an excellent carrier that's specifically designed to handle the extra movement behind an RV/trailer or a towed vehicle (I verified this with Hollywood Racks) and it's capable of securing two bikes that weigh up to 80 pounds each. It does have a convenient bolt knob that allows you to fold the rack up for storage or tilt it away for cargo access and integrated locks to help protect your investments. The padded clamps slide up and down the center mast to allow easy fitment with any bike frame, including step-thru designs like what you have.

It is compatible with 2 inch hitch receivers and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
