Recommended Bike Rack Similar to Saris Freedom That Can Be Used on Back of 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

I am looking at the saris SA4412B-FB it says it is not for a 5th wheel. Why?

Because of the movement that occurs at the rear of towed trailers like 5th wheels or travel trailers, not all bike racks have been tested or approved for this application; most of the bike racks approved have a more solid shank than a standard bike rack that help them stand up to the twisting and up/down movements that occur while being carried on the rear of a trailer.

While you can't use the Saris Freedom # SA4412B-FB on the back of your 5th wheel, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY64FR is a great alternative that is very similar. The RV Rider hold the bikes by the frames in a similar manner and can carry bikes up to 80-lbs; it also can handle bikes with up to 5" wide tires.

I've linked a short review video we did of this bike rack for you to check out.
