Travel Trailer Bike Rack Recommendation to Carry 2 or 3 Bikes
Question:
Hello, We have a new trailer with a hitch on the rear. I am looking for a bicycle rack to use with it. My current Thule Trailway is not rated for use on the back of a trailer I understand trailers bounce a lot more than a car. Can you recommend hitch mounted bike racks safe for use on the back of a trailer? Wed only need a rack for 2 or 3 bikes. The platform style would probably be ideal. Thanks,

Expert Reply:
For just 2 bikes the only platform style bike rack that is compatible with a travel trailer is the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack # S64663.
Since you said that you have the possibility of a 3rd bike then you can either use the Swagman Original 3-Bike Rack # S64152-2 or use the Swagman XP Bike Rack # S64940.
I've attached some review videos that you can check out.
