Recommended E-Bike Bike Rack For A 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X Travel Trailer

Question:

I have a 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X, I tow with a 2016 Mercedes GLE 400. What is the best option for a bike rack for an e-bike, weighs about 50 - 55 LBS. Seems rear of the camper would be best? Gets crowded between SUV and CAMPER, HITCH etc? Thank you!

I do recommend using a rear hitch for your 2022 Airstream Basecamp 16X travel trailer to free up space between the SUV and the trailer. If your trailer does not already have a hitch you can use an adjustable trailer hitch receiver like the # C13702. This hitch will fit a frame width of 18" to 51", if your frame width falls outside of these dimensions please reply back and I can find the correct fit for your trailer.

For a bike rack rated for use on a travel trailer I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. This rack is rated for use on cars, vans, SUV's, trucks, travel trailers, motorhomes, flat towed vehicles, and fifth-wheels. It has a per bike weight capacity of 70lbs to easily carry 2 e-bikes on the back of your trailer. This heavy-duty, V-shaped rack now comes with button-adjustable cradles that hold your bikes by the wheels. included are 2 anti-rattle hitch pins to prevent wobbling and noise in trailer hitch receiver as well as keyed-alike locks to deter theft of your bikes and the rack.
