Question:
Recently purchased the following: a. 2018 Forest River Viking 1706 XLS poo-up trailer Looking for the best set-ups and/or solutions in being able to transport 2-4 bikes on our trailer. Our rear bumper is NOT 4” thick. It’s closer to, if NOT less than 2” and is aluminum opposed to steal. Like this product, but I don’t think it’ll be the right fit: https://www.etrailer.com/p-E-100.html Thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My favorite bike rack recommendation for campers like yours that have an a-frame is the Jack-It part # LC429756 which attaches to the mounting flange for your trailer jack and gives you a 2 bike rack that sits up above the propane tank area. This is a 2 bike solution which is normally about as many bikes as you'll fit in this area easily.
Another option is the Bike Bunk part # CC-275 which installs in same area but attaches to the trailer frame instead and gives a hitch opening you could install a bike rack into.
