If the frame of your travel trailer is between 24 and 46 inches you could install the Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 5350 which has a tongue weight rating of 500 lbs which would be more than enough for a 4 bike rack.

Then for a 4 bike rack that is approved for use behind a travel trailer like yours the Swagman Trailhead part # S63381 would be a fantastic option. Not all bike racks are rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a camper but this rack is.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
