  • Recommended RV Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Forest River Rockwood Pop-Up Camper
  • Since your 2008 Forest River Rockwood Pop-Up Camper has a smaller bumper, the best option would be to install a frame mount hitch for a bike rack. You will want to measure the outside to outside width of the trailer frame to determine which RV hitch will fit properly. One option for an RV hitch is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701. This hitch is designed to fit frames 18 inches to 51 inches wide and features a 2 inch hitch receiver.

  • Does Curt RV Trailer Hitch # C19101 Require Stabilizer Strap
  • This is a really good question. So at one point Curt did require the stabilizer strap with the hitch # C19101 as well as others but recently they got rid of that requirement so with this hitch you do NOT need to use the stabilizer strap # 18050 with this hitch.

  • RV-Rated 3-Bike Rack & Hitch for 2016 Coachman Clipper Pop Up Camper Trailer
  • Curt RV hitches # C19101 and # E-100 will not work on a C-channel bumper so you may want to consider a frame-mounted RV hitch like # 13703 or one of the others shown on the linked page. These have a 2-inch receiver opening for your bike rack or other RV-rated accessory and the various model fits varying frame widths; some are bolt-on while others are weld-on products. You can confirm in your owner's manual whether Coachman rated the camper's frame for hitch installation. A bike rack to...

  • Bike and Canoe Carrier Options for Jayco 12HW Pop-Up Camper Trailer
  • We offer specialized roof racks made just for pop-up camper trailers like your Jayco 12HW and we also offer RV bike racks in several varieties. As a starting point I suggest you confirm the weight rating for the camper top. An average adult bike can weigh 35-lbs or more, so 4 or 5 bikes along with a canoe can present a significant weight load for the camper's top. A great-value camper rack comes from Swagman, their Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers # S80510. This square bar rack...

  • Bike Rack Solution for Carrying 5 Bikes at Rear of 5th Wheel Camper
  • Since there aren't any RV approved 5 bike racks your best option would be a ladder bike rack like the # SP501BR to carry two of the bikes and then a hitch bike rack approved for RV use like the Yakima Longhaul part # Y02476 and you'd be set.

  • Adding Hitch And Wiring to Camper For Towing PWC
  • If you are using the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, # E-100, to tow your jet ski trailer and need to connect lights, I suggest the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 60" Wire Lead Item # C58044. With this, you can wire from your camper to the PWC. It is a straight forward hard wire set-up that has the easy splice connectors in the kit.

  • Swagman Platform Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of RV Bumper Hitch
  • If the RV bumper is a motorhome bumper then yes, the Swagman XC bike rack part # S64650 will work well there. If the bumper is on a camper trailer then the closest similar bike rack that would be rated as compatible would the be the Swagman Dispatch Bike Rack part # S44FR. Not all bike racks are rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a camper trailer but the Dispatch is and it's a great bike rack similar to the XC. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.

  • Best Way to Carry E-Bikes at Rear of Camper
  • For carrying e-bikes at the rear of a camper the best solution will be to go with an e-bike rack that is approved for use at the rear of a camper like with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which was designed for the rougher ride quality at the rear of campers, has a weight rating that is higher for e-bikes, and is very secure and wouldn't allow any movement of the bikes loaded on it. You would need a 2 inch hitch installed on the camper like with the Curt # 13703 which fits...

  • Recommended RV Bumper Hitch for 2021 Aliner Expedition Camper
  • I believe the 2021 Aliner Expedition Camper has a 2" by 4" bumper. Providing your bumper can support the attachment and weight, I highly recommend an RV Bumper Hitch, # C19101. This is a very cost effective way of adding a hitch to a small camper for attachments such as bike racks or cargo carrier, # e98874. This has a maximum tongue weight of up to a full 350 lbs. If you do not already have a bike rack that is rated for use on a travel trailer, please let us know and we will be glad...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution With Sway Control For a RV Camper With 1,450LB Dry Tongue Weight
  • With the dry tongue weight on your camper being 1,450lbs from the manufacturer the only option we carry is going to be the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution # BXW2003. This hitch is rated for a camper up to 20,000lbs but more importantly the tongue weight capacity is 1,500-2,000lbs. Your tongue weight will easily exceed the 1,500lb minimum after the dealer installs a battery and fills the propane tanks.

  • Four Bike Rack for my Camper Bumper
  • We have options available that will allow for the carrying bikes on the back of your camper but the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack part # S64663 does not have an expandable feature. Instead the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches part # S63381 paired with the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E-100 will allow you to transport 4 bikes behind your camper and also like on a vehicle like the other Swagman you looked at.
