Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 4 Bikes on an RV or Travel Trailer

Question:

I am just wondering if this, or any of your products are rated to carry 4 bikes while mounted behind a towed travel trailer? Thanks

There are only certain bike racks that are rated for use at the back of an RV or trailer. But the Hollywood Racks # HR8500 is not one of them. I have included a link to the 4-bike models that you can use.

Out of the options I recommend the Swagman XP, # S64940. This is a 4-bike rack, it does not fold or tilt (this is one reason why the Hollywood Racks carrier will not work), but it does have anti-sway cradles. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
