We have just what you need. The Swagman Platform Bike Rack part # S64663 comes with a hitch that attaches to a 4 inch square RV bumper like what you have that then allows you to install the included 2 bike platform rack.

I attached a picture of this hitch and bumper installed plus a review video for you to check out as well.
