Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Just got our ebike loaded up on the new bike rack, look like it going to be a nice setup for our bikes. This is a replacement rack for our Thule rack we had for 7 years. The Hollywood rack is rated so we can put it behind our motor home.
We love our Hollywood RV Rider Bike Rack. We have loaded it on our 87 Jeep Wrangler, our ‘06 Lexus, and our ‘83 Pilot. It is a perfect fit on all three! We needed the extra length to clear our rear mount tire on our Jeep. It worked! We have taken our 4”fat tire e-bikes on many roads from northern Idaho to southern Arizona. The bikes travel well and sturdy on this heavy weight rack. We feel very confident that they stay in place. We are able to load our bikes in a few minutes and hit the road in no time. It is very easy to load. We recommend using the bar grip extenders (which came in the package) to compact the storage area. This rack comes with a tip mechanism to allow you to tip the bikes down to access the rear trunk or hatchback.

Swagman Trailhead RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches
Unfortunately, I cannot make a great review for this bike rack. Two issues. The first, even though it is ‘designed’ for four bicycles, getting three on there is more realistic. The second issue is that it hasn’t held up very well. One of the support bars that the bikes rest on actually bent. The bike rack is supposed to be able to carry four bicycles and we only used it for two adult and a child’s bike. I am considering replacing it with a supporting design instead of this hanging design.
Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike rack on 2015 Nissan Xterra. Solidly built, easy to install and carry two mountain bikes. Stable at 75 mph and over bumps. An excellent value.

Swagman Original RV Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - 2" Hitches
I needed a small bike rack for my 5th wheel. I came to etrailer as my trusted source for info and availability since we live full time on the road. Plus these are hard to find in brick and mortar stores since COVID. I ordered the rack on a Sunday and received a confirmation and tracking number before I went to bed!! The package even arrived a day early. The rack is more sturdy than I had expected and look forward to safe transport of my bike. I also like I now have the ability to mount and use it on the rear of my pickup if needed. This is a 5 star rack but gets only 4 stars due to my one issue. The only issue was a small amount of what looks like welding slag in the threaded attachment hole to the trailer. (see picture) Having no other option, I just forced/re-threaded the bolt during installation. Since I hope to not need to remove the rack, I am just hoping for the best in the future.
Product is better and sturdier than I expected. I was shocked at how fast it shipped. It was extremely well packaged. I have not seen this type of care in shipping for a long time. I am very happy with the product especially at the price. It had several features I was looking for: 1. It is rigid to the hitch with no flopping. 2. The bikes can be securely locked to the carrier. 3. The unit can easily be locked to the hitch (with the additional locking bolt that I would recommend purchasing. 4. When not in use it can easily be stored FLAT in the storage area of my RV without taking up a lot of room. I would highly recommend etrailer and this bike carrier. I will be doing additional business with etrailer in the future!

Thule Range RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches
I tried two other brands of bike racks on our Travel Trailer. They were simply too weak to handle the sway and bouncing that happens at the back of a Travel Trailer. This one is perfect. Well-built and very sturdy and it holds 4 mountain bikes for road trips of several hundred miles without any issues.
After much research trying to find a RV bike rack rated to go on a trailer, I found this one. After using it for a year, I would say it functioned average ant best. I only put 3 non-electric bikes one it, just to be safe. Unfortunately, 1500 miles into a 2200 mile trip last week, the latch that holds the arms horizontal broke and the bikes were pinched between the upright and arms. The rack is now unusable. I am very lucky not to lose any bike and cause an accident, although they did get pretty beat up before I could stop. I usual love anything I purchase at etrailer but I cannot recommend this product.
What our customers are saying:
"The sales associate I spoke with was very, very helpful. I know very little about cars/trucks and, in my opinion, he went above and beyond to help me determine what I needed to buy! Thank-you so much for your help and especially for your speedy shipment! : I will definitely buy from this company again."
