Can Küat NV22G NV 2.0 Bike Rack Be Used on a Travel Trailer

Question:

Is this rack rated to take the punishment from being mounted on the back of a single axle travel trailer, in a 2receiver? If not, can you recommend one that is?

The Kuat NV 2.0 bike rack you'd looked at, part # NV22G isn't rated for a travel trailer.

As you alluded to, a bike rack needs to be pretty heavy duty to withstand the beating it'll take from being installed on the rear of a travel trailer.

Swagman makes a 3 or a 4 travel trailer compatible bike rack that would work well for most bikes. For a 4 bike rack, I'd recommend the Swagman Original, part # S64400 or for a 3 bike model, use # S64152-2.

Both racks can handle bikes weighing up to 35 lbs each and are more than tough enough to handle the rigors of use on a travel trailer.
