Expert Reply:

Since travel trailers are so tall there aren't really any roof rack options made for them but you could use the Swagman Roamer LT roof rack part # S80510 although it was mostly intended for install on a pop up camper. Install would be the same on a travel trailer. It looks like you have a lot of roof accessories currently so it would be a matter of trying to place the bars in a location that wouldn't interfere with them and also would allow you to carry what you need to up there.

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

The RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack you'd looked at, part #RKY10004 is a great bike rack, but it wouldn't work well with bikes that have fenders like your Aventon Aventure Fat tire ebikes. The front fender would prevent the bike retaining hook…
