Recommended Spare Tire Mount And Bike Rack Compatible With RV Use

Question

Question:

Our travel trailer spare tire is currently stored in the trailer under the bed. This limits the trailers capacity to carry the gear we need. We are looking for a bike rack that will hold mount the trailer spare tire not a bike rack that will mount to an previously installed spare wheel. Do you have a suggestion of either a bike rack that will do this,or separate products that wil do both?

We don't have a bike rack and spare tire mount for a travel trailer that is one unit. We do have some combinations of products that will work for you.

You can use the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 that will work with the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730 or the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1.

We also have the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 which clamps right to the trailer bumper or the RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack # S80605.

I could not locate that exact number (V000613183) but from what I could find, it looks like it comes back to a Solera Awning. If that is the case, then the Replacement Short Arm Assembly for RV Awnings #LC404523 would be the correct replacement for…

We don't like to recommend hitch extensions for bike racks that are going to be used at the rear of travel trailers as a first option as they add quite a bit of movement and leverage on the hitch. So instead of using the #S64663 with one I would…
