Can the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack # S64670 be Used Behind a Camper Trailer

Question:

I asked if the 4 bike version would work behind a camper trailer with a 2 inch hitch and the response was it could not handle the motion behind a camper. This two bike version is listed as an RV/Motorhome rack. Will this one be able to handle the rough ride behind a camper trailer?

Expert Reply:

The issue with 4 bike platform rack is how far out from the tow vehicle the carrier extends. On a 4 bike platform rack, that distance is much greater than a 2 bike rack, and the 4 bike rack will bounce around more as it has more weight further away from the hitch.

Either the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670, that you reference, or the Swagman # S64650, are designed for this use so the manufacturer warranty will remain valid. If the 4 bike model were used, the warranty would be void as they are not designed for this application. I have included video reviews of both of these racks below.
