Travel Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Recommendations for Back of Trailer
Question:
I need to add a hitch to the back of my travel trailer so I can carry our bikes. If you could recommend a hitch and a bike rack I would be really grateful!

Thanks for reaching out!
I recommend checking out the Stromberg Carlson Adjustable Accessory Hitch Receiver # SC45MR for your travel trailer. Hitches like this are universal fits so you just need to make sure the frame of your trailer is in the 49-1/2" to 76-1/2" Wide range and then you can install this hitch using a bolt-on or weld-on method - whichever you're more comfortable with. I'm attaching a dimensional photo for you to reference.
Then for a bike rack I recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU84FR because it is features a U-Shaped frame that makes it easier to load and unload your bikes. This is a platform rack that secures bike by the front wheel and it can accommodate up to 60 lb bikes with up to a 3" tire so it's compatible with a wide range of bike styles out there. It comes with a cable lock for the bikes so it's a good idea to grab the Hitch Lock # HL2 as well so you have some peace of mind whenever you make a pit stop.
Attached is a review video of the bike rack for you to check out.
