Recommended E-Bike Rack And Trailer Hitch For A 2020 Rockwood 2109S Travel Trailer

Question:

Why is this bike rack not recommended for a travel trailer? We have a 2020 Rockwood 2109S travel trailer we need to add a 2inch hitch receiver to, so we can carry our e-bikes on with, hopefully this Hollywood bike carrier. Our e-bikes weigh approximately 70 lbs. each. I was thinking of adding one of the following hitches you sell to our trailer. Curt item #13703 Stromberg Carlson item #SC45MR Draw-Tite item #82201 We pull our trailer with a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the towing package and a 2inch receiver. To me it is starting to look like carrying our e-bikes on the back of our travel trailer isnt possible. Is this true, or can you help me figure this out?

The reason the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR is not rated for use with a travel trailer is due to the fact that it is not designed to withstand the additional forces that are exerted on the rack in that application.

With that being said, I recommend going with the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # S94FR.

This bike rack is capable of hauling two e-bikes weighing 70-lbs each, and will work great with your 2020 Rockwood 2109S.

For an actual trailer hitch, I recommend going with the Multi-Fit Motor Home Trailer Hitch # 82201.

This trailer hitch has a maximum towing weight capacity of 3,500-lbs, a 300-lbs tongue weight capacity, and will fit trailers with a frame width of 47" to 71".
