Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of RV with Spare Tire Mounted
Question:
Can you use this bike rack on the spare tire on the back of an Rpod travel trailer?
asked by: Tom
Expert Reply:
Even though tire mounted bike racks aren't rated to be used on the rear of trailers due to the extra bouncing around they would experience, we do have a solution or two that would work for you.
Swagman's Around the Spare Mighty Rack part # S80501 has a two bike capacity and is specifically designed for use on a travel trailer, if the trailer has a 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuously welded steel square tube bumper. If your travel trailer has some exposed frame members on the trailer tongue, the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk, part # CC-275 would allow you to carry two bikes on a rack at the front of your trailer. A bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360 would work excellently along with the Bike Bunk.
