Will Swagman XP 3 Bike Rack Part S64910-2 Safely Mount to the Back of a 26 Foot Travel Trailer

Question:

Im wondering if this rack is save to mount on the back of 26ft travel trailer? I have spoken with a few different people and have been advised that there is no company out there that make a rack that can be mounted on the back of a travel trailer due to the amount of sway that occurs. It seems that all other brands indicate they are not to be mounted on the back of a trailer. If you could let me know that would be great!

Yes, this rack, part S64910-2, works well on a 2 x 2-inch hitch on the back of a large travel trailer, and the manufacturer has approved it for this use because of its steel top plate with positive locking knobs. It has a sturdy steel construction and cushioned cradles for extra sway protection. This does have a minimum ground clearance of 15 inches and it is recommended for use on paved roads. I would also suggest getting a anti-rattle lock, part 63232. This will dramatically reduce movement and vibration, while deterring theft of your bikes and rack.

You might also check out the Swagman Easy-Out Womens and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter, part # 64005. This allows womens bikes to line up straight on the bike rack by giving them the extra top bar.
