Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe

This convenient rack carries 2 bikes on your RV and provides clearance for a spare tire. Its sturdy steel construction has a black powder coat for corrosion resistance.


Anti-Sway Cradles

Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe Anti Sway Cradles

The anti-sway cradles rotate and slide along the dual arms to perfectly position your bicycles, reducing the need for a bike adapter bar. The cradles include durable rubber straps to hold your bikes firmly in place on the rack. Because the cradles secure each bike at three places (twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or down tube), rocking back and forth is virtually eliminated, preventing bike-to-bike contact.


Removable Pins

Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe Removable Pins

Removing one pin on each side of the rack allows easy access to the spare tire by removing the upright bars from the base of the rack.


U-Bolts

Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe U-bars

The rack installs on your RV with U-bolts that are designed to clamp around a 4" to 4-1/2" continuous welded square bumper.

Terrible product as it sits too low on the bumper. I mangled a bike wheel backing up to a slight swale. The bike wheel was only six inches off the ground, the swale was seven. My bad for backing up without a spotter but the bike rack is not adjustable & therefore worthless to me.

Not the wheel, ugh! Yeah, if it was taller, it definitely would have helped. You know, part # LA-102 is a ladder mounted bike rack that is adjustable for height. I bet if you used this, you wouldn't have that problem again.



by:

I am very satisfied with the bike rack. Instillation was simple. The package had been previously opened and was missing 2 nuts but I had them in the garage. The product stated it would not fit on a bike with less than 18” between the seat and handle bar post but I drilled 2 holes in the top cross bar and set them on an angle as allowed in the instructions and they fit my mountain bikes with a cradle of 14”. I added a web strap from the tire support post, over the tire and around the bike cross bars to eliminate any swaying which did not appear to be a problem even before the strap. My 2 mountain bikes weigh 35.5lbs each and appeared very secure for a 700 mile trip.



by:

Very well made easy to install. And works great for our 2 bikes. Very secure using straps provided with a couple additional small ratchet straps sold separately.

I dont use it a lot but have used it a few times putting 2 bicycles on it. And it held up great on the back of my pop up camper.



by:

Good product, well made. Took me less than an hour to install. Have a small travel trailer, just me and my wife. We are both retired. Wanted to take bikes with us when we travel.Don't have a lot of room on the rear bumper so this was the best product for my needs. Pictures of the finished job included.



by:

So far - first trip out - we love it. Or bikes are a little different in design so it took some creativity to get them positioned on the carrier. The shape of the frame rests on the bike rack made this pretty easy, though. Definitely a plus.

Bike on!



by:

This bike rack was a perfect fit on the bumper of our RV! It sits just outside our spare tire and is very sturdy and solid. Can’t wait to take our bikes on our next trip!



by:

Great price for a very good product.



by:

I just have one bike to carry on the back of my trailer and this works great for that. Fits nicely around the spare tire. I leave the bottom brackets on and when I need it, I put in the top vertical bars. My only issue is the vertical bars do not slip in very nicely (very tight fit), so I have to pound them down. Hasn't been an issue, but is a pain. It also seems to be holding up to the weather OK and only minor rust so far.



by:

This bike rack exceeded our expectations. Easy to install and our bikes are secure. Last trip was from our home in Riverside county up to a campground in Pollock Pines. Not one issue.



by:

We have a 2019 Imagine camper with a spare tire on the back bumper. The description of this product said it would fit on our bumper with the spare tire. We tried every way we could and the woman's bike would not fit on there even with a frame adaptor bar attached to the bike. And with two bikes on the carrier, it was pushed up against the spare tire. The product is well made and I am sorry it would not fit our need.

I am sorry that the bike rack did not meet your needs. The maximum diameter of the bike frame can be no more than one and a half inches. Customer service will be in touch.



by:

The product is exactly as advertised.



by:

I was a bit disappointed in this product. I was hoping to use it to tote our bicycles south for the winter. Unfortunately the design of our bikes, both Giant brands, do not work on the rack because of the way the cross bars are configured. They do not sit well on the rack. I'm guessing you have to have bikes with a single straight bar between the seat and the handlebar post. Ours do not, especially my wife's bike.

Yes this bike rack does require the bike to have a level horizontal bar to hang from. The good news is there are bike frame adapters that will give you a level hanging surface such as part # Y02531. This yakima bike adapter bar fits most bike frames because it extends from 14 1/2 to 31 1/2 inches.



by:

Easy to install ,looks good,but hard to fit two old school 26" bikes
on racks.needed more length.Still i would buy again,good for newer bikes,Quality material.

fixed the tight threads on the hold downs,and it works great,i still would buy it again.very nicely made.



by:

Viewing the installation video before installing made the installation quick and easy.
The product is well constructed.
Packaging of the product is first class.
I will order all my travel trailer accessories from ETrailer.

Just Great Holding up well



by:

I like the basic design, but I really dislike the J hooks at the top. When you have a bike or two, hanging across the top, it is very inconvenient and time consuming to screw the bottom brace onto the metal rod of the J hook extending down.... all the way till the bike is tight. I went to a hardware store and bought 4 1 1/2 inch spacers and inserted them over the screw rod and that made it much better. It will still take 10 minutes to get the bikes off - but it's better than it was. I wouldn't mind paying more for an easier to use product.

Don-s

its still the same. I still use them and do recommend them.



by:

As of right now the install was very easy to do by myself. I was very pleased with how everything fit correctly too. Looking forward to putting our bikes on it next time we go out to our campsite.



by:

eTrailer continues to be my 1st thought for RV needs. Selection, price, and customer service. I had selected a different rack, partially installed it, and found that it wouldn't work for my needs. eTrailer cheerfully accepted it back and exchanged it for this rack. This one has held up very well for nearly a year now and a 2000 mile road trip carrying two adult bikes. I did add a ratcheting strap from the upper part of the rack, around the spare tire, and to the bumper to minimize bouncing.



by:

Easy to put together. Easy to load he bikes. Product was perfect for our need.-



by:

Unfortunately, I was not able to use the product. When attempting to move the spare tire to the center of the bumper so I could use the rack, the tire slipped out of my hand and snapped off the whole bottom of the tire carrier.

However, I just want to express how easy they made it to return the item. I live in my travel trailer full-time and have not yet been able to set up Wi-Fi, so I have not been able to use my printer. Ashley E. worked with me until I finally got the UPS label printed and successfully returned the bike rack. Ashley E. was very helpful and considerate while I was having my ‘issues’.

Will definitely do business with etrailer again.



by:

This product was delivered on time as promised and was exactly as described, with very good videos and PDF File Instructions at the etrailer website. What more could anyone ask for ???!!!

Diane E.

Didnt work really well for us. Not very heavy duty and tendency to get lightly warped. For light use, it probably works ok.



by:

just put it on the camper today 5-26-20,seems like a well built product. Fits two bikes nicely and well padded. will be going over the road for a couple of weeks and I think the rack will do fine holding bikes.Product is just what I wanted not too big and not too small and built well.Would recommend purchase good price and great seller fast shipping.



by:

Frame hardware mounted easily. Configuration is what I needed. However, means to hold bikes to rack is intolerable. What is used is lock nuts encased in a knob. Understand the reasoning, but the threads are over 2 inches long. It takes forever to lock on a bike. Also, one knob broke off on first use. Bike attachment method needs re-work.



by:

This bike rack works great on our fifth wheel. It was very easy to install and is not a real heavy product. We are limited to 135 lbs. on our rear bumper. This rack is just under 25 lbs. so we were able to mount 2 bikes on it and still be under our limits.

As always, etrailer delivery is fast. We love the videos they post of their products that we can review before we buy.



by:

I like the over the rear tire mounting capability for my RV and the fact that it can be easily removed by pulling the two quick pins on the bottom. This allows me to fold down the hinged spare so I can access the rear storage compartment. I also like the ease of loading and securing the bikes on the rack mounting arms.



by:

Ordering equipment sight unseen is a bit risky, but it's always a pleasure when the goods arrive as promised and the quality turns out to be better than expected. The around-the-spare-tire bike rack is a simple design and installation is a breeze. It seems sturdy enough, but we'll have to wait for some better weather to give it the first road test. All-in-all I'm very pleased with purchase, and the customer service provided by the folks at etrailer.com was excellent as usual.

  • Rear Bumper Bike Rack for 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BH
    The best bike rack solution we have for RVs like yours that have the spare mounted on the rear bumper is the Swagman Around the Spare part # S80501 which mounts around the spare and to the bumper like the name implies. The Camber you mentioned would not have enough clearance.

    Yes, I see why you why you are looking for a front mount hitch, it is the perfect solution for your situation. I reached out to our contact at Draw-Tite about their option for front mount trailer hitch, # 65053. It is a confirmed fit for earlier year models of the E-Series but they replied that they do not yet have a solution for the 2022 model. My go suggestion for a situation such as yours is to recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6. Or...

  • Could Two of the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Racks Fit on RV Bumper
    Yes, you could install two of the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 on the rear bumper of an RV as long as there was clearance for both racks and spare to fit next to each other. From a capacity point of view you'd be fine.

  • Spare Tire and Bike Carrying Options for 2001 Layton 190EL Travel Trailer
    As a first step, I'd recommend contacting the trailer manufacturer to ensure the rear bumper is capable of carrying the weight of a spare tire, bike rack and bikes. A 4 inch square bumper is pretty common. If that's what you have, I'd recommend the Stromberg Carlson bumper mounted spare tire carrier, part # TR-1. For a bike rack, the presence of the spare tire will interfere with the majority of bike rack options, but we do have one option that would work for you. Swagman offers their...

  • Will This Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack Install Around the Spare of my 2004 Starcraft 3606 Pop Up
    This Swagman RV and Motorhome Bike Rack, # S80501, has a space of about 13 inches from where the rack would bolt to your bumper to the uprights of the rack. This should give you enough clearance to fit around your spare tire. I attached a picture to the right that shows many of the measurements of this rack for you to check out. You will need to measure the bumper of your 2004 Starcraft 3606 Pop Up Camper to determine if this rack will work. This rack is designed to clamp around a 4 inch...

    Although we don't have a single bike rack that's designed to fit around the spare tire on a RV/motorhome, the Swagman # S80501 Around the Spare Mighty Rack would work well for you, assuming that your RV/motorhome has a continuously welded steel bumper (not an aluminum or spot welded steel bumper.)

  • Can the Yakima SpareRide Bike Rack be Used on an RV Spare Tire
    While the Yakima SpareRide # Y02599 cannot be used on an RV spare tire there are other racks that you can use. However, none of the compatible racks mount to the spare tire itself but if your RV has a 4 to 4-1/2 inch square steel bumper then you could use the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe rack # S80501. The bumper would also need to be rated for the combined weight of the rack (about 10 pounds) and the bikes. If your RV does not have the proper kind of bumper then you could install a...

  • Options to Carry 2-Bikes When Towing a Camper With a Toyota Rav4
    I have a couple different options for you to take a look at. But unfortunately, using a dual hitch receiver like the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 is not going to work for what you need. This is because using the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 will reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50% which will not allow you enough capacity to even tow your camper. If your camper has a 4" - 4-1/2" square continuously welded steel bumper, you can use the Swagman Around...

    The picture you submitted turned out to be an interesting piece of wood, but based on what you described it sounds like a ladder bike rack like the part # LA-102 that you referenced could work well. But for a bike rack that would work better most likely you should check out the # S80501. This should fit around the spare tire mounted on your rear bumper and provide you with the ability to carry 2 bikes.

    A front htich is a great way to add carrying capacity for a bike rack without interfering with turning clearance if you also happen to be towing a trailer. Currently the only front hitch we have for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is the EcoHitch model # 306-X7352. The hitch's price reflects the fact that it is USA-made and also made from an alloy that is produced only from US-sourced recycled materials.

  • Can Spare Tire Bike Rack be Used on a Travel Trailer
    Interesting question, but I checked with Yakima, and the SpareRide is not rated for use on a travel trailer or other RV. We do have some potential options for bike racks that you can use though, depending on the room you have or how your travel trailer is configured. For example, if you have a straight tongue trailer you can use the Hitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138. Or for a bumper-mounted option there is the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for...

  • Recommendations for Carrying Bikes While Towing Trailer With Short A-Frame Tongue
    The Malone # MPG544 you'd referenced has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, which wouldn't be enough capacity for the trailer's tongue weight and the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on. Couple that with the fact that using a dual hitch adapter like # MPG544 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your Expedition's hitch by 50 percent, carrying the bikes between the trailer and the vehicle very likely wouldn't work. This leaves a couple of options for carrying your bikes....

    The distance from center of hitch pin hole to edge of first upright arm on the # S64663 is 10-1/2 inches. However, the distance to first wheel hoop is only 8 inches. You may still be able to use this rack as long as you can slide your spare tire to either side (Fig 1), this is what most of our customers actually do and it's worked very well. The Swagman # S64663 is designed to be used on continuously welded, 4 - 4-1/2 inch tall, steel RV bumpers. If relocating the spare tire along the...

    RV bumper bike rack # S80605 would be a great choice for your tent trailer, because it offers an easy install and will accept many different styles of bikes. This bike rack is made for continuous welded steel square bumpers at least 4 inches and no more than 4-1/2 inches wide.

  • Options to Carry 2 Bikes on a Lance 1685 Travel Trailer That Has a 1-1/4 Hitch
    I have a few potential options for you, but we do not have any 1-1/4" bike racks that are rated for use with a travel trailer. Your first option would be to replace your 1-1/4" hitch with a 2" hitch. This can be done a couple of ways. The first would be using a frame mounted hitch like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13702 (for frames 18" to 51" Wide) or # 13703 (for frames 22" to 72" Wide). You could also use the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 if you have...

  • Mounting Rear Bike Rack on Freedom Express 192RBS
    You should contact Coachman and ask how many pounds their rear bumpers are rated for. Most are not rated for any weight.

IF it is rated for a few hundred pounds of tongue/verticle weight, then the Curt # E-100 bumper receiver would be a good fit. Next, most bike racks are not rate strong enough for use the the back of a travel trailer where they get tremendous bouncing forces. I have included...

    An adapter bar to mount a womens or alternative frame bike to the Swagman Around the Spare Mighty Rack # S80501 is not required, but it is recommended in order to keep the bike more level and the center of gravity more centered on the rack for the safest ride. You can use adapter bar # 64005. I have included a link to a video review of this bar and a link to the installation details for the rack.
