Can Swagman Bumper Mount Adapter Mount Underneath Bumper
Question:
The bumper mount, of a receiver for a bike rack, reads for top of the bumper only. Why is that ? As I would like to mount it below the bumper underneath on my camper. It looks strong and stable enough. Thanks

Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Swagman and was informed that the RV 2 inch Receiver Bumper Mount Adapter, # S64025, cannot be mounted underneath of the bumper because the bolts included with the receiver are not designed to handle the tongue weight required of it in that position.
One option we have for mounting a receiver under the bumper of your camper is the RV Bumper 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, # E-100. However, you cannot exceed the limits of your camper bumper. The bumper towing and tongue capacities may be indicated on the bumper itself, but if not you could check your camper owner's manual or contact the manufacturer of your camper.
I have included a video review of # E-100 for you to check out.
