For a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2019 Forest River Rockwood Mini Lite travel trailer what you can use is a universal fit hitch, from Curt:

- Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703

We installed this on a '17 Rockwood Mini Lite so we know it will work for your trailer. It is about nine inches from the hitch opening to the edge of the bumper so you'll want to be sure your bike rack has the necessary clearance. If not, you'll have to go with a bumper-mounted hitch, the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100.

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…
