I checked with Swagman and the amount of space on the frame of a trailer that the brackets of the Swagman Straddler # S80503 requires is 4-1/2 inches since that wouldn't be enough clearance for you the best option would be to use the Lippert Jack It Bike Rack part # LC429756 which attaches to the jack mount and gives you a 2 bike rack that will be held up above the propane tanks.
Check out the review video I attached for this as well.
