Expert Reply:

Yes, the Swagman Dispatch, part # S44FR, has been approved for use on RVs, Motorhomes and Trailers. Many bike racks cannot hold up to the excessive bouncing at the back of a trailer or RV, but Pro Series designed this bike rack to fit your needs.

I have attached a link to all of our RV and trailer approved bike racks for you to check out.

For an e-bike rack for your Letric XP step thru bikes at the rear of an RV the Swagman E-Spec part #S94FR would be a great choice as it's rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of RVs, has the higher weight capacity needed at 60 lbs per…

Only certain bike racks are rated by the manufacturer for use behind RVs or trailers. This is simply because the ride at the rear of an RV is significantly rougher when compared to the rear of a standard passenger vehicle. The reason for this is that…

The RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack you'd looked at, part #RKY10004 is a great bike rack, but it wouldn't work well with bikes that have fenders like your Aventon Aventure Fat tire ebikes. The front fender would prevent the bike retaining hook…
