Is There a 4-Bike Platform Bike Rack That Can Be Used On a Vehicle and Travel Trailer

Question:

I have a family of five and am looking for a bike rack for when we go camping, but could also be used when we travel locally. I would love to have a platform rack that is rated for travel trailers but can carry 4 bikes. Suggestions?? I like model #S64693 but it is only 2 bikes.

I do have an option which will allow you to carry four bikes on the back of a vehicle and trailer trailer but there aren't any platform bike racks that will work due to their weight and the fact that travel trailers can be very abusive to bike racks. Instead, you'd need to use a hanging style rack and for this I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack part # S63381 which is one of our best options.
