Great news! The Swagman 3 Bike Rack # S64152-2 is approved for used behind a RV.
If you are planning on using the Swagman behind a 5th wheel trailer, the ground clearance must exceed 15 inches.
If you plan on carrying bikes with alternative frames, such as kids' bikes or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar, like # 64005. The adapter bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem. This allows the bike to be positioned more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
