What Does the Swagman Bike Rack # S63400 Weigh

Question:

Thanks, Jameson, for your prompt reply. So I have one more question. 32 lbs. just seems heavy to me for the Rola rack; but I say that because by my calculations, the Thule 4-bike ("Parkway", item # TH956) model is only 27 lbs. Could that be correct? I might have mis-weighed the Thule, and will double check when I get a chance, but can you check for me what the manufacturer's weight for it is? I was hoping to get something lighter for the back of my fiberglass camper trailer, but if the Rola is that much more I'd have to consider something else. Your recommendation of the Stromberg-Carlson bike bunk is still in the running, by the way.

The weight of the Swagman Titan bike rack part # S63400 that you referenced is 32 lbs but it is not rated for use on fifth wheels or trailers, only motorhomes.

Like you mentioned it does have a bike weight capacity of 75 lbs.

I have a great solution for you. The lightest weight bike rack we offer that is also rated for use behind a trailer is the Swagman Trailhead RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S63381. This has a capacity of up to four 35 pound bikes and weighs just around 29 lbs. Take note that this only fits a 2" hitch. All of our carriers that work on travel trailers require a 2" hitch.
