Bike Rack to Carry 1 Bike at the Back of a Travel Trailer
Question:
Is the Thule T1 1-Bike Platform Rack rated to be used on the back of a travel trailer? I have a 17foot Casita travel trailer with a 2inch receiver hitch on the back, and need to carry just one bike. What bike carriers would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR is not rated for use at the back of an RV or trailer.
Since you need to carry just one bike, I recommend something simple that is RV/trailer approved: the Swagman Trailhead # S63381. While it is a 4-bike rack it doesn't take up a lot of space and weighs just 30 pounds.
I have also included a link to all of the RV/trailer approved bike racks we have.
