We do offer RV and camper hitches in both the frame-mount and bumper-mount varieties. Do please note that all of these are the 2-inch size. This is so because a 1-1/4-inch hitch would not have the strength required for use on the back of a camper trailer. The reason is that the further the rear axle is from the hitch tube, the greater the vertical and lateral sway forces will be on the hitch. All RV hitches are shown on the linked page.
Also, please note that you cannot use just any bike... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Swagman and she said the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64670 that you reference is not rated for use at the rear of an RV, trailer or camper because of the additional forces present at the back of trailers.
The Swagman 2 bike platform racks rated for use at the rear of an RV, trailer or camper is the # S64663. This bike rack will only be able to carry 2 bikes.
The only 4 bike rack rated for the rear of a RV or travel trailer is the Swagman 4 Bike Rack,... view full answer...
I linked for you our main page for 4-bike RV-rated bike racks. These include both platform style racks like the bumper-mount Swagman # S80600 .
The Pro Series Q-Slot Platform-Style rack DISCONTINUED PS63138 is a great rack but it is not suitable for use on a camper or RV. We do have 4-bike carriers that will work for you.

The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 Bike Platform Rack part # HR1400Z is not rated for use on travel trailers so it will not work on a pop-up camper. If you are looking for a platform style rack then the Swagman 4 Bike Carrier RV Mounted Bike Rack part # S80600 would be the only option. If not, you can use the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack part # Y02476 with the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13703. view full answer...
Yes, the Surco 2 Bike Carrier # SP501BR can be used with the ladder on your slide-in truck camper ladder. You will want a Cable Lock # e98891 to secure them to your camper. view full answer...
The item you selected, Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack # S80501, is designed for square bumpers. On pop-up campers you would usually see a c-channel bumper.
You could also use a dual receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Ball Mount With 2 Inch Receiver # D210. You could use a bike rack in the top receiver opening like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Carrier, part # S63360. Then you would use the hitch ball opening to connect your camper.

The Reese Outfitter 4 is an older bike rack produced by Swagman which is now the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches part # S64675. The Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches is rated for use on the back of Motorhomes but not campers or fifth wheels.

You will have to do some measuring to determine if the bikes will fit without extending past the side of your trailer. Each of the rack bases has an overall width of 20 inches. You can use that measurement along with your bikes and check at the back of the trailer for proper fit and clearance of the spare while not extending past the side of the camper. We have other options if this rack will not work for you. I have posted a link below to our RV and Camper Bike Racks page for your... view full answer...
The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. You will have no problem carrying a bike rack and two 70 lbs e-bikes with this universal hitch. You will want to verify the camper or RV you are attaching is rated to have a hitch installed and carry this weight.
For a great bike rack that is rated to be used behind all vehicles, campers, and motorhomes you will want the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR. This bike rack has... view full answer...
The best option, assuming your pop-up camper is an A-frame, is to use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers # CC-275 with the Swagman # S64940. The way it works is the Bike Bunk will get mounted on your A-frame and then the Swagman rack mounts inside the Bike Bunk.
The other option is to install a trailer hitch on your camper, the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703 which works on box frames, C-channel... view full answer...
Recently, Thule updated their bike rack compatibility guides and now several of their bike racks like The Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack, Item # TH92BJ, are compatible with motorhomes. It will not work with fifth wheel trailers or towable campers. If you need a rack for a fifth wheel trailer or towable camper then I recommend the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476, is certainly approved for a fifth wheel. view full answer...
As you may already know, bike racks that are used on the back of a trailer or RV must be approved for this purpose as the stress placed on them with this type of application will far outweigh the amount of stress for a bike rack placed on the back of a vehicle.
Unfortunately, we do not have any platform style bike racks that will hold 4 bikes on the back of an RV but I do still have an solution for you. The Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # Y02476 would be perfect for you. It would even... view full answer...
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.

You'll have to measure to be sure. The Hollywood Rack RV Rider part # HLY64FR has a distance of 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest wheel hoop so if you measure from the pin hole of your hitch out to the furthest point on the rear spare and it's less than 12 inches this rack would fit and clear it. view full answer...
For a bike rack with the capacity to carry an e-bike and a regular bike behind a camper, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR. This bike rack is rated to be used behind trailers and 5th wheels and has the capacity to carry two e-bikes weighing up to 70 lbs a piece. I have linked a review video below.

Yes the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack # Y02476 will work with your Chevrolet Suburban's trailer hitch. It also can be installed on the back of your bumper pull camper or 5th wheel camper. One thing to keep in mind is to not exceed the weight capacity of your 2" x 2" hitch on your trailer. The bike rack has a weight capacity of 37.5 lbs per bike.
What I like about this is how versatile it is. You can put it on your vehicle throughout the week and take it with you on your camping trips all... view full answer...
If your camper has a 4 to 4-1/2 inch square tube steel (not aluminum) bumper that's continuously welded, and not spot-welded, the Swagman RV and Motorhome Bike Rack you mentioned, part # S80600 would work very well for you.
If you click the provided link, you can see an product demonstration video that features the Swagman # S80600 rack. A cable lock like part # e98891 and Cam Buckle Tie-Downs like part # 05605 are also recommended. view full answer...
The item you selected, Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack # S80501, is designed to attach to a 4 to 4-1/2 inch continuous welded square steel bumper like the bumper on your 2010 Puma travel trailer. It is not designed to attach to C-channel bumpers.
You will want to check the owners manual of your Puma travel trailer for load carrying capacities of the camper and the rear bumper.

The best rack would be a hitch application. You can take a measurement on your camper to see what bike racks will fit.
Lay a dowel rod or yard stick against the spare tire, straight up and down. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the dowel rod. This measurement represents the minimum spare tire clearance. All of our bike racks have the center of hitch pin hole to upright/wheel hoop measurement. As long as the measurement you take on the camper is less than the measurement... view full answer...
I understand your intent in replacing just the shank component of your Swagman XC # S64650 platform bike rack with a RV-rated shank to allow use of this carrier while towing your camper trailer. Since the XC is not rated for use on the rear of an RV this would be a cost-effective way to use your existing rack in that application.
However, the replacement shank # SP325 for the Traveler XCS rack # S64664 will not fit, nor would it make the XC suitable to use on a ball mount while you tow.... view full answer...
