What Bike Rack Would be Best for a Pop-Up Camper or Collapsible Trailer
Question:
What style of bike rack would fit on a Trail Manor trailer. The Trail Manor is a collapsible type trailer. Like a tent trailer but a hard shell. Thanks

Swagman has built several bike rack solutions specifically for the rear of Fifth Wheels, campers and trailers. Often times there is much more rear bumper bounce on a trailer or pop-up camper when compared to a passenger vehicle, so Swagman designed some bike racks to withstand the rougher ride.
If the camper has a solid steel square tube bumper, you could use something like the Swagman Bumper Hitch, part # S64025 in conjunction with a towing bike rack like part # S64400.
Swagman also has a roof rack for Pop-Up campers, part # S80510. You could then add a bike roof rack like # S64710. When you arrive at your campsite, you would remove the bikes, fold the arms on the rack and then open the camper like normal. We have a video reviewing the roof mount rack that I have added a link to.
I have added a link to a help page on selecting a bike rack for use on fifth wheel trailers, pop-up campers and other trailers.
