How to Carry 2 Bikes and a Cargo Carrier on a Travel Trailer
Question:
I was wondering if this system would work on the back of our 2020 Cougar 25ft travel trailer, for a long trip?

I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, the Yakima EXO Swing Away 2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y54ZR, is not rated for travel trailers like your 2020 Keystone Cougar.
You can use a cargo carrier like the 60X24 Reese Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches, part # 63153.
For mounting your bikes, you can use a tongue-mount bike rack like the Hitch-It, part # LC731138. This will allow you to have the cargo carrier in the back and the bike carrier in the front.
I've linked to video reviews of both of these for you to look at.
