A ladder rack could be a viable solution, so long as the bike is not so long as to not provide enough clearance for bumps or inclines. If the bike can be transported when folded I do not see a potential clearance problem.

There are other methods for transporting bikes on an RV, but since you are towing a vehicle, the ladder rack would probably be your best solution. I recommend the Surco 2 Bike Rack # SP501BR.

Make sure to secure the bike with straps or bungee cords like part # EM06924 to keep the bike from bouncing around.
