Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Behind a Trailer
Question:
We currently owned the 64670 Swagman bike rake for the back of our pickup it is made for 2 inch hitches and has a 1 1/4 inch adapter. WE have bought a trailer and wonder is the rack we currently have can be used in conjunction with the 64025 Adapter to attach to the back of our 25 foot trailer. The reason I am asking is because in one of you videos it states that racks built for vehicles may not be suitable and strong enough to uphold the extra vibration on the back of a trailer. Ours is a platform type rack and seems to be well welded and built and I think that it should be okay but would like an expert opinion please. Thank you

The Swagman XTC part # S64670 is a great rack, but it has not been rated for use behind a trailer or an RV so I can't recommend it for you. For a similar rack that would work for what you are trying to do you would want the # S64663 as it comes with the hitch you are looking for as well.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
