Trailer Hitch Mount 4 Bike Rack Recommendation for Use Beyond a 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
I need a 4 bike carrier that supports a 5th wheel camper where the spare tire extends past the face of the bumper. Hope you can help me out.

Only certain bike racks are rated for use behind a trailer. I have included a link to the available options for you to view. The hitch mount platform racks that can be used hold a maximum of 2 bikes. For a 4 bike rack, we have the Swagman Standard Rack, # S64400. In order to use this rack, you will need at least 15 inches from the ground to the bottom of the receiver tube.
From the center of the hitch pin hole on the rack to the back of the upright bar measures 13 inches. If the spare tire sticks out less than that from the center of the hitch pin hole, this rack will work. To lock the rack to the hitch use lock # S64029.
