There is one 4-bike rack that is approved for use on the back of a travel trailer and fits a 2 inch trailer hitch, which is the following:

- Swagman XP RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S64940

This is a hanging rack with a 35 lb per-bike capacity, so it will carry the vast majority of bikes. Since it is a hanging rack, the only consideration to make is that if you are going to be carrying a child's bike, or a bike with a step-through frame, you will need a bike adapter bar in order to give those bikes a horizontal mounting point; for that you will need the following:

- Bike Frame Adapter Bar # HRBA-PRO

The Swagman does come with an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but I do recommend adding a lock to secure the rack to your trailer's hitch with the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin # S64027.
