How to Add Extra Support to Bumper Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver
Question:
I want to install on my 2019 jayco white hawk 29 RE. I want to have 2 bikes on the rack. My question is a lot of movement on the rear of the trailer when towing. I am concerned that it might damage the rear bumper.

Expert Reply:
The Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 itself has a 350 lb tongue weight rating but you will need to look at the weight rating of the bumper on your 2019 Jayco White Hawk 29RE to make sure you aren't overloading it.
To help offer better support on your RV bumper you can use something like the Mount-n-Lock SafetyStruts Standard RV Bumper Support Brackets # MO22FR. This kit mounts to bumpers that are 4" to 4-1/2" square and they bolt to the welded or bolted I-Beam, S-Beam, or single channel frame.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Thule Range # TH9057 which can handle up to 4 bikes (in case you go camping with some friends) and is rated for the extra movement found at the back of a travel trailer.
Attached are some videos for you to check out.
