Expert Answers about Swagman
Do You Have A Bike Bag That Will Cover Just 1 Bike Instead Of 2 Bikes- The Swagman Horizontal Style 2 Bike Bag for Trailer Hitch Bike Racks, # S82005, is designed for up to 2 bikes, so it will work for 1 bike.
The covers use a cinch strap to tighten the material around the bike or bikes after the zipper has been closed on the cover.
I do not have any bike bags that are designed for just 1 bike.

- Will the Swagman XC Platform Bike Rack Hold a Womans Bike with a Step Through Frame
- I spoke with my contact at Swagman. I gave him the 19 inch measurement from the ground to the top of the lowest part of the frame on your step through frame bike. He stated that the Swagman XC, # S64650, will fit. The hook can go as low as 15 inches, so you have room to spare! I have included a link to the installation details and a video review below.

- Will The Ratchet Arm On The Swagman RV Mount 2, # S64663, Fit A Womens Bike With A Low Center Bar
- I looked at the website that showed a picture of the bike your wife has, it looks like if you use the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter, # 64005, on the bike then it will fit on the Swagman RV Mount 2, # S64663. The bike frame adapter does have a capacity of 35 lbs. so you will want to make sure the bike weighs less than 35 lbs.
The bike frame adapter will attach to the center seat post and to the handlebar post on the bike. It will give the bike a level bar for the hook on the bike rack to attach t

- Searching for info on Swagman S64955 bike rack
- Yes, the Folding 3 Bike Towing Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches - Swagman XP, part S64955 is the Swagman 64955 - the very same bike rack. It is for 2 x 2-inch trailer hitches and fits over the ball mount. NOTE: The trailer hitch's tongue weight capacity is reduced by the weight of the bike rack and the bikes when towing, just something to keep in mind when using the bike while towing a trailer.

- Will the 2 Bike RV Bumper Rack Fit on a 30 ft. 2010 Salem Travel Trailer with Left Side Spare
- You will have to do some measuring to determine if the bikes will fit without extending past the side of your trailer. Each of the rack bases has an overall width of 20 inches. You can use that measurement along with your bikes and check at the back of the trailer for proper fit and clearance of the spare while not extending past the side of the camper. We have other options if this rack will not work for you. I have posted a link below to our RV and Camper Bike Racks page for your convenien

- Swagman XP Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Replacement Locking Knob
- The Swagman XP Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Replacement Locking Knob, item # P1009, will only work with Swagman XP bike racks. As long as your bike rack is a Swagman XP, this knob will fit. If the bike rack is some other brand of rack, then I cannot guarantee the knob will fit correctly.

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Allows Rear Door to Open on a 2005 Honda CR-V
- There are a few things that you will want to consider when looking at bike racks for your 2005 Honda CR-V. First, since the door opens off to the side, you would need to remove the bikes if you used a bike rack like # S64681 or on a traditional hanging bike rack.
The other thing to consider is the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the spare tire on your CR-V. On Class III hitches we have installed on CR-Vs of the same generation as

- What is the Weight Capacity of the Swagman Titan Trailer Hitch Mount 4-Bike Rack
- On the Swagman Titan, # S63410, the single bike capacity is 35 pounds. The capacity of the rack as a whole is 100 pounds. So if you had four 30 pound bikes loaded that would exceed the capacity of the rack, you are correct.
We have other 4 bike racks that can accept more weight. The Thule Vertex, # TH9029, for example can handle 140 pounds total (35 pounds per bike). But with its straight shank, the Vertex is not going to offer any additional ground clearance. I have included a link to a vide

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for the Back of a Travel Trailer
- The Swagman Quad 2 + 2, # S64691, can not be used at the back of your trailer. The issue is that because this rack has a certain folding feature, it cannot be used. At the points were certain racks fold there is a point of potential weakness. Couple that with the fact that there is significantly more bouncing at the back of a trailer and it could end up in damage to the bike rack.
Only certain bike racks are rated for use behind an RV or trailer and I have included a link to them for you to v

- Bumper Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a Rockport Mini Lite Travel Trailer

This rack can be position to go around the spare tire and it extends 19 inches out from the bumper. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Toyota Avalon
- I will be happy to get you set up for a hitch and bike rack. For the 2013 Toyota Avalon, all of the available hitches, see link, are Class II hitches. The most popular hitch is currently Draw-Tite, # 36514. This hitch will not fit a hybrid model Avalon. I have incldued a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation on a similar vehicle.

- Dual Hitch Reciever Recommendation for Carrying a Bike Rack and Flat Towing a 1997 Jeep Wrangler
- I believe I have a better solution for you to allow you to carry a bike rack and flat tow your 1997 Jeep Wrangler. I would recommend you get a dual hitch adapter like a Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4. You could then use your tow bar on the lower opening and then carry a bike rack on the top opening.
For a 4 bike rack by Swagman that would work well with the # RM-077-4 check out the Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier # S63380. Check out the review video I attached for this pro

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for Use Behind a 5th Wheel Trailer
- There are only certain racks that can be sued at the back of a trailer or RV. Swagman no longer allows the XTC # S64670 for this application. I have included a link to the racks that you can use.
I recommend the 3-bike Swagman rack # S64910-2 which does fit just a 2 inch hitch. This is a solid rack. The single arm and rotating cradles are compatible with many bike frames. An adapter to carry certain bikes will only be needed in the bike has as step through frame, a flat frame, or if the top f

- Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2011 Volkswagen GTI
- The Swagman bike Rack # S64095 is designed to be clamped to the bumper on a truck that has a towing ball hole in the center. It will not fit your VW.
For your 2011 GTI I recommend a trunk mount bike rack, see link. With a trunk mount rack you will not need a trailer hitch. And a trunk mount rack can be used on other vehicles.
If you want to go with a hitch mount option and need a hitch I recommend # 60330. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 200 pounds tongue weight. For a compatible

- Using Dual Hitch Extension to Carry Bikes and Tow Trailer with 2005 Saturn Vue
- The Trailhead # S63360 can be tilted back away from the rear of your Vue to about a 40 degree angle, or the stop can be removed allowing the rack to tilt all the way back to the ground, so hatch clearance should not be a problem, but keep in mind that the bikes should be removed before tilting the rack.
You can use the dual hitch extension you have shown, as long as the weight of the rack and the bikes hung on it plus the tongue weight of the trailer does not exceed:

- Comparing the Swagman 2+2 and Quad Trailer Hitch Mount Platform Bike Racks
- The shipping weight of the Swagman Quad 2+2, # S64691, is 89 pounds. Compare that to the Swagman Quad # S64690 at 83 pounds. Both racks would handle about the same. One benefit of the 2+2 is that you can remove the second platform and have a 2 bike carrier. The Quad on the other hand is strictly a 4 bike rack.
Both racks have a 45 pound capacity per bike and both can tilt. The 2+2 has larger wheel cradles than the Quad and can be adjusted to accommodate different styles of bikes.

- What is the Weight Capacity of Swagman Bike Rack Adapter Bars 64004 and 64005
- For bike adapter bars # S64004 or # 64005 capacities are going to match what the bike rack is capable of per bike. For example if you have a 2 bike rack that can hold 35 pounds per bike then the adapter bar is rated for the same 35 pounds. The official capacity also happens to be 35 pounds.

- Will the Swagman Mighty Rack Roof Mount Bike Rack Fit a Camper with AC Unit On Roof
- The roof mounted AC unit on your Coleman camper will most likely interfere with a bike rack like the Swagman Mighty Rack, # S80550. However, if the AC unit is off to one side of the camper roof, or at the very back or very front of the roof AND the roof is long and wide enough to mount the 65-1/2 x 26 inch carrier then you can use it.
If you do not have space on the roof then you will need to look at the other options for bike racks that are approved for use on a trailer. I have linked them f

- Is There a Platform Bike Rack That Can Reduce Down From 4 to 2 Bikes When Needed
- I have found three choices for you regarding bike racks that can be easily adjusted to accomodate either 2 or 4 bikes. All three choices require a 2 inch hitch.
The first choice is the Swagman Quad 2 + 2 Bike Carrier, which is part # S64691, that you referenced. I have taken a photo and inserted where the bike rack quickly disassembles converting from a 4 bike rack into a 2 bike rack.
Another option is the Thule T2 Platform-Style Bike Carrier, # TH916XTR-918XTR. This option starts with the

If at any point on your kayak the gunwales are 15 inches apart or less, the kayak will fit.

- Only certain bike racks can be used on the back of a trailer or RV. I have included a link to the options for you. The Swagman XTC4, # S64665, cannot be used at the back of a trailer or RV.
If your trailer has a 4 to 4-1/2 inch square steel bumper that has a continuous weld then you can use # S80600 and you will not need a hitch. I have linked the instructions for you to view.

- Recommendation for Electric Bike Rack for 2-Inch Receiver on 42-Foot Fleetwood Discovery RV
- After speaking to my contact at Hollywood Racks, I have found the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Carrier for Electric Bikes # HR1450E is the best rack we carry to fit your needs. It is intended for 2-inch trailer hitches only and features a bolstered steel construction that can handle the extra weight of electric bicycles.

- Recommendations for Carrying One Electric Bike on 2010 Toyota Prius
- Due to the heavier weight of electric bikes, finding a compatible rack can be difficult, especially when you are wanting to use it in a Class I receiver. According to Swagman, the wheel trays of their XC cannot accommodate more than 35 lbs. Exceeding that amount could cause the wheel trays to fail, which might result in the loss of the bike during transport (which would be a bad thing!). My Swagman contact told me that none of their racks had the necessary per bike capacity to carry an electric

- Replacement Locking Hitch Pin for Subaru Bicycle Rack Made by Yakima
- Yakima did make the Subaru-branded bike rack but they do not offer any replacement parts directly; these proprietary parts can only be purchased from Subaru.
Your Forester could be equipped with either a 1-1/4-inch or a 2-inch hitch receiver. The diameter of the hitch pin will be 1/2-inch for 1-1/4-inch hitches or 5/8-inch for 2-inch hitches. You can measure the size of the receiver opening on your hitch (or the hitch pin hole itself) to determine which size pin you need.

- Replacement Wheel Tray for a Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack to Carry a Small Kids Bike
- I do have a wheel tray that will work with your Swagman XTC4 bike rack, but the Replacement Wheel Tray, # P450, that you referenced is only designed to fit the Swagman G2, # S64680, and G10 bike racks.
For your XTC4 bike rack, you will want to use the Replacement Wheel Tray for Quad 4 Bike Rack, # P400 or # P405. These wheel trays will slide onto the base of your XTC4 bike rack to provide a different style wheel tray for your small kids bike.

- Can Swagman Roof Bike Carrier, Part # S64720, Mount on Curt Folding Cargo Carrier, Part # C18132
- The Swagman Rooftop Bike Carrier, part # S64720, is designed as a universal-mount bike carrier that can be adapted to most brands and types of roof rack cross bars. Since it uses 3-1/8-inch wide u-bolt hardware to secure the wheel tray to the mounting surface it can be fitted to a variety of crossbars, including the wider aerodynamic type and most factory bars.

- Swagman Towing Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying Kids Bikes
- For kids bikes I believe you would be better of getting the Swagman XP # S64975 bike rack because the frame cradles can be angled to better accommodate the sharper angles of the bike frames.
The Swagman Original # S64675 that you referenced is a great rack, but since the frame cradles cannot be angled it would not be ideal for carry kids bikes, or even womens bikes with horizontal top tubes.
If you check out the picture I attached you can see how the frame cradles of the # S64975 can be an

- Recommended Bike Rack for 2011 Buick Enclave
- When determining fit of a given bike rack on a particular vehicle, it is important to determine the distance from the hitch pin hole of the installed hitch to the furthest rearward point of the back bumper (see photo.)
We have completed installs of the Draw-Tite # 75528, Hidden Hitch # 87435 and Curt # 13424 Class III receiver hitches on 2010 and 2012 Buick Enclave models. We have found that once the hitch is installed, this distance can vary from 3-3/4 inches to 5-1/4 inches depending on wh

- Compatibility of Swagman Titan # S63400 With 2013 Jeep Wrangler
- You do not mention which hitch you are installing. With a stock spare tire, we found that the distance from the hitch pin hole of the Draw-Tite Class III receiver # 75515 to the furthest rearward point of the spare tire measured 6 inches. This means that the bike rack you choose must have a hitch pin hole in the shank to closest upright portion of the rack distance greater than 6 inches.
