I have the perfect solution for your 2008 Casita Spirit Deluxe. I recommend you use the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch # C13701, which will mount to the frame of your travel trailer and allow you to carry a hitch mounted bike rack like the Swagman Original 4 Bike Rack # 63124. The Curt # C13701 mounts to Box frame, C-Channel frame, or I-Beam frame trailer frames between 18" and 51" wide and can be bolted or welded on. If you have a frame wider than 51" you'll want to use the Curt # 13703 which will work on trailer frames up to 72" wide and can also be bolted or welded to the frame of your Casita. Either one of these will work well to carry your new Reese Eclipse rack.

I've linked some helpful videos that show more about how these two hitch receivers are mounted.
