If your pop-up has a 4 inch by 4 inch square tube steel bumper, the Curt # E-100 would be a fine choice. If the bumper is aluminum, it likely wouldn't be strong enough and the weight of the rack and bikes could cause the bumper to deform and eventually be crushed.

If the bumper won't work, you could go for a frame mounted hitch like # C13702 which fits frame members from 18-51 inches apart. If the frame members are further apart than that, use # 13703 for frame members 22-72 inches apart.
