Recommended 4-Bike Bike Rack for Use on a Travel Trailer

Question:

I am looking for a bike rack for 4 bikes that will fit a 2 inch Hitch receiver on a travel trailer. The Hitch is welded on the rear bumper and on the frame, dont worry it is really strong. What are the bike rack model that would go on a travel trailer? Thanks a lot

Since you are wanting to use the bike rack on a trailer you might want to refer to the attached link of bike racks which are confirmed by the manufacturers for use on a trailer. The reason why they have to be approved for use on a trailer is because the hitch sits much further away from the axle which cause much more stress on the bike rack - only bike racks that have been tested for use on a trailer are supposed to be used to avoid damage to your trailer, bike rack, bikes, and anyone who may be traveling next to you.

You could use the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack # Y02476.
