I'd be more than happy to help you find a solution for carrying your e-Bikes!
A good starting point is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR because it is rated for the extra movement/stress that you find at the back of a travel trailer, it can hold up to 70 lb e-Bikes, and from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when in tow mode is 15-1/2" which should clear your tire.
Then for a hitch on your travel trailer you will need to choose between a frame mount like the Curt # 13703 or a bumper mount like the Curt # E-100. These hitches are essentially universal fits so it's best if you compare the hitch to what you have on your Forest River 2905 travel trailer to determine what is best.
For a swing away adapter/extender I recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 # PVP20B which will give you more than enough room to lower your tailgate. Since swing away adapters aren't compatible with a travel trailer you will only be able to use this adapter/extender on the pickup.
