RV Rated Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear Rear Spare on an RV
Question:
I am putting carrier on rear of an RV with a spare tire mounted on the bumper. From the locking pin in the receiver to the outer edge of the tire is 14 inches. Will these carriers extend far enough from the bumper for the bike to fit?

Expert Reply:
Since you are planning on installing a bike rack at the back of your RV, you are going to need to pick a bike rack that is rated for RV and motorhome use. (see link to see them all)
There is only one rack that would come close to fitting past your spare tire that is 14 inches from the pin hole to the furthest point on the hitch. That would be the Swagman Original part # S64152-2. This rack has exactly 14 inches from the center of it's pin hole to the upright bar. What this means is this rack will most likely touch your spare tire if it is right at 14 inches.
