Recommendation For Towing Bike Rack And Pop-up Trailer At The Same Time Using One Hitch Receiver
Question:
Im looking for a way to carry 2 bicycles using my trailer hitch - bust I also need to pull my pop-up trailer at the same time. Is there a way to both pull the trailer and carry the bikes at the same time? Thanks!

There is a way to carry bikes and your pop-up trailer at the same time, but it isn't using the trailer hitch. I recommend using the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275. For a bike rack I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # S44FR which holds your bike at the wheels and the frame. It has a hitch lock and a cable lock to secure your bikes to the carrier and the carrier to the bike rack carrier.
If you want a hanging style bike rack we only have RV compatible models that carry 3 or 4 bikes, so I recommend the Swagman Original - 3 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # S64152-2. With this rack, I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 2" Shanks - 8-1/2' Long # S64030 to secure your bikes and the rack. I also recommend using the # 64005 for any step through frames to allow you to carry them safely and level.
