4 Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of Travel Trailer

Question:

Would it work well on the back of a Travel Trailer. I have a Curt receiver bolted onto the frame so not a bumper hitch, I will traveling with 4 bikes. Travel trailer is 23 feet long.

We have bike racks that are designed for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a travel trailer, but the Saris part # SA4414B is not designed for that so instead you would want the Swagman Trailhead # S63381 which is a 4 bike rack designed for use at the back of an RV and would work great.

Since platform bike racks like the Saris are so large and heavy they aren't made in the 4 bike configuration for RV use.

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.
