Recommended 4-Bike Rack for Forest River Trailer with Rear Mounted Spare Tire
Question:
We have a travel trailer- Forest River Salem, with a center mounted rear tire. The rear bumper is continuously molded steel square bumper. I need a bike rack to hold 4 bikes- 3 adult bikes two men, one woman, one kid bike. What product or products do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The only 4-Bike bumper rack we have available that may work with the spare tire on your Forest River Trailer is the Swagman 4 Bike Rack # S80600. This bike rack is designed to attach to 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuous welded steel square bumpers. The first bike will sit 4-3/4 inches reaward of the bumper on your trailer. If the distance from the rear of the bumper to the outer edge of the spare tire on your trailer is less than 4-3/4 inches, this rack will work without any interference.
Another option that would avoid the spare tire altogether is to use the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk # CC-275 to mount a bike rack to the trailer's A-frame. This will fit A-frames with widths between 12 and 52 inches and can be used with any trailer/RV approved bike rack, such as the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Rack # S63381.
I have attached video demonstrations and installation instructions on the products mentioned that you can check out.
