Bike Rack Recommendation for Fat Tire E-Bikes on Travel Trailer

Question:

I have 2 Rad Bikes. One is the Rad Mini Step Thru Fat Bike and the other is the Rad Mini 4. Both these bikes are foldable. I need to have a Rack that fits on the back of my 21’Wolf Pup by Forest River and could also be used on my F-150 Pickup. I am sending a picture of the back of my camper. The tire is mounted on the back so I am not sure about the hitch I need. It will have to extend out 14 to 16” to go past tire. Pleas let me know what hitch would work best.

Your best option is to use the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR along with 2 sets of the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679 and at least 1 (if not 2) of the adapter bar # 64005 so that the hooks have a place to secure your bikes. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack is 15-1/2" so you'll want to double check this clearance with your spare tire to be safe. This fits 2" hitch receivers so it can also be used on your F-150 pickup.

From what I can see in your photo it looks like you may not currently have a hitch on your rear bumper so I recommend picking up something like the Curt # E-100 as well which fits 4" square bumpers and is rated for 350 lbs of tongue weight.
