Bumper Bike Rack Solution for 2015 Jayco X20E Hybrid Camper

Question:

Hello, Can you please check if this will fit on my 2015 Jayco X20E hybrid camper? The rear bumber is 4x4inch one piece and protrudes from the rear face of the trailer by about 3, so appears ok. However, I watched the video and the guy was stressing that there must be at least a 2inch vertical clearance between the bottom body of the trailer and rear bumper, which I do not have. Thanks, Chuck

Hey Charles, so the reason the RV Bumper Bike part # S80605 that you referenced requires 2 inches between the bottom of the trailer body and the top of the bumper is to clear the mounting hardware. So if you are sure you don't have that clearance you wouldn't be able to install the rack. You could possibly modify the body to gain the clearance or a bumper hitch like the part # E-100 with an RV bike rack like the # S36FR could work too.

Thanks for your response. I did mention that the rear bumper extends out about 3" beyond the rear face of the trailer (there is 3" clearance beyond the rear face). I assume that does not make a difference.
