4 Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of Camper
Question:
I really like the idea of a platform rack. However, it does not look like there are any 4-bike platform racks for use on the back of a camper. Is this correct?

I have a 4 bike rack I can recommend for the rear of your camper, but there are no traditional hitch mounted 4 bike platform bike racks available. Reason being that style of bike rack ends up being pretty long and heavy which when you combine that with the much rougher ride quality at the rear of a trailer it ends up putting quite a bit of strain on the hitch. There is the part # S80600 that attaches to the rear bumper of the RV as long as it's a 4 inch continuously welded bumper.
The best option would be the Swagman Trailhead part # S63381 which is confirmed to fit at the rear of campers/trailers like what you have and would work very well. I attached a review video for more info for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
