Bike Rack Recommendation for Use Behind a Trailer and a Trek 7100 with Low Step Frame

Question:

I have two questions. I would like to mount the bike rack to the back of a camping trailer that already has a 2 hitch installed. Is this rack okay for that application. Second question. I have a 7100 Trek 20 mens bike and my wife has a 7100 Trek 13.5 step through bike. I see your previous answer that is similiar, but just to be sure, what adapters do I need to fit these bikes to the rack , or advise that they dont fit if that is the correct answer. Thank you.

The RV Mount 2 Bike Rack - Swagman XC ,# S64663, can be used in the 2 inch trailer hitch on the back of your trailer without using the bumper mounts. If using the bumper mount option, the trailer will need to have a 4 to 4-1/2 inch continuous welded steel bumpers. You will also need to know the weight capacity of the bumper if you plan on using the bumper mounts. I have included a link to the installation details below.

I did a little research on the Trek 7100 bike with the low step frame. The Swagman XC bike rack is compatible with this type of bike without any adapter needed. The hooks on the bike rack will go low enough to snugly secure the bike.
