I have a great electric bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, the Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR is not approved for fifth-wheel trailers or travel trailers.
However, we have one that is compatible with both. For that route, I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # S94FR. The E-Spec is built for brute strength to withstand the added torque and force exerted on the rack when mounted on a fifth-wheel and travel trailer. It also comes with an impressive 70-pound per-bike weight capacity.
If your bikes have fat tires that are between 3-5 inches, you need the fat tire cradles # S64679. Also, if you plan on transporting women's bikes, children's bikes, or step-thru bikes, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005. The adapter bar gives your bikes a straight, horizontal frame that is required to mount onto the E-Spec's ratcheting arms.
