Recommended Bike Rack for a Travel Trailer with a 1-1/4" Hitch

Question:

I have a 2021 Lance 2075 with 1 1/4 inch hitch and am interested in a bike rack for 2 bikes. Any recommendations?

I have a possible solution for you.

First, though, it isn't recommended to use a 1-1/4" hitch for bikes on a travel trailer because they aren't able to handle them.

Instead, your best bet is to upgrade your hitch to a 2" receiver. I recommend the Curt Adjustable Class III, part # C13701. It adjusts between 18" and 51". It fits box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames. I've linked to a video review of it below.

With that installed, you could use the Swagman XP, part # S64940. It's rated for 2" hitches and travel trailers. I've linked to a video review of this one as well.
