Will Swagman Platform 2 Bike Rack for 2-Inch Hitches S64663 Fit Winnebago RV with 2-Inch Hitch

Question:

I have a 2013 Winnebago Navion IQ with a 2inch receiver hitch. I watched your video re bumper attachment. It is not clear from the video that one can use this rack on a receiver hitch alone, without a bumper? Can you clarify this ?

Yes, this Swagman rack will fit the 2-inch hitch on your Winnebago.

One of the great features of the Swagman RV Platform 2 Bike Rack for 2-Inch Hitches # S64663 is that it can be used with or without its included 2-inch bolt-on bumper hitch. For folks who do not have a hitch on their RV but do have a continuously-welded bumper this allows installation of the rack, but since you have a 2-inch hitch you won't need to use the hitch portion.

RV bike racks have to be built with extra strength to withstand the vertical and lateral forces found at the rear of a motor home and this Swagman rack, as well as the others shown on the link provided, are all rated for use on an RV with a 2-inch hitch.

Among the platform style racks I do recommend this Swagman for its beefier construction. Also because it provides lots of clearance at the back of the RV - a full 12-inches - to keep your bikes from contacting the motor home. With this you can use Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # S64027 and bike cable lock # e98891.
