This convenient rack carries 2 bikes on your RV and provides clearance for a spare tire. Its sturdy steel construction has a black powder coat for corrosion resistance.
Anti-Sway Cradles
The anti-sway cradles rotate and slide along the dual arms to perfectly position your bicycles, reducing the need for a bike adapter bar. The cradles include durable rubber straps to hold your bikes firmly in place on the rack. Because the cradles secure each bike at three places (twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or down tube), rocking back and forth is virtually eliminated, preventing bike-to-bike contact.
Removable Pins
Removing one pin on each side of the rack allows easy access to the spare tire by removing the upright bars from the base of the rack.
U-Bolts
The rack installs on your RV with U-bolts that are designed to clamp around a 4" to 4-1/2" continuous welded square bumper.

Terrible product as it sits too low on the bumper. I mangled a bike wheel backing up to a slight swale. The bike wheel was only six inches off the ground, the swale was seven. My bad for backing up without a spotter but the bike rack is not adjustable & therefore worthless to me.
by: John04/24/2023
I am very satisfied with the bike rack. Instillation was simple. The package had been previously opened and was missing 2 nuts but I had them in the garage. The product stated it would not fit on a bike with less than 18” between the seat and handle bar post but I drilled 2 holes in the top cross bar and set them on an angle as allowed in the instructions and they fit my mountain bikes with a cradle of 14”. I added a web strap from the tire support post, over the tire and around the bike cross bars to eliminate any swaying which did not appear to be a problem even before the strap. My 2 mountain bikes weigh 35.5lbs each and appeared very secure for a 700 mile trip.

Very well made easy to install. And works great for our 2 bikes. Very secure using straps provided with a couple additional small ratchet straps sold separately.

I dont use it a lot but have used it a few times putting 2 bicycles on it. And it held up great on the back of my pop up camper.
by: Benjamin10/20/2018
So far - first trip out - we love it. Or bikes are a little different in design so it took some creativity to get them positioned on the carrier. The shape of the frame rests on the bike rack made this pretty easy, though. Definitely a plus.
Bike on!

Good product, well made. Took me less than an hour to install. Have a small travel trailer, just me and my wife. We are both retired. Wanted to take bikes with us when we travel.Don't have a lot of room on the rear bumper so this was the best product for my needs. Pictures of the finished job included.

Great price for a very good product.

This bike rack was a perfect fit on the bumper of our RV! It sits just outside our spare tire and is very sturdy and solid. Can’t wait to take our bikes on our next trip!
by: Norm 12/03/2022
I just have one bike to carry on the back of my trailer and this works great for that. Fits nicely around the spare tire. I leave the bottom brackets on and when I need it, I put in the top vertical bars. My only issue is the vertical bars do not slip in very nicely (very tight fit), so I have to pound them down. Hasn't been an issue, but is a pain. It also seems to be holding up to the weather OK and only minor rust so far.
by: Jack 02/12/2023
This bike rack exceeded our expectations. Easy to install and our bikes are secure. Last trip was from our home in Riverside county up to a campground in Pollock Pines. Not one issue.
by: Carolyn M08/29/2022
We have a 2019 Imagine camper with a spare tire on the back bumper. The description of this product said it would fit on our bumper with the spare tire. We tried every way we could and the woman's bike would not fit on there even with a frame adaptor bar attached to the bike. And with two bikes on the carrier, it was pushed up against the spare tire. The product is well made and I am sorry it would not fit our need.

I am sorry that the bike rack did not meet your needs. The maximum diameter of the bike frame can be no more than one and a half inches. Customer service will be in touch.
by: William 12/03/2023
The product is exactly as advertised.
by: Michael11/16/2018
I was a bit disappointed in this product. I was hoping to use it to tote our bicycles south for the winter. Unfortunately the design of our bikes, both Giant brands, do not work on the rack because of the way the cross bars are configured. They do not sit well on the rack. I'm guessing you have to have bikes with a single straight bar between the seat and the handlebar post. Ours do not, especially my wife's bike.

Yes this bike rack does require the bike to have a level horizontal bar to hang from. The good news is there are bike frame adapters that will give you a level hanging surface such as part # Y02531. This yakima bike adapter bar fits most bike frames because it extends from 14 1/2 to 31 1/2 inches.

Viewing the installation video before installing made the installation quick and easy.
The product is well constructed.

fixed the tight threads on the hold downs,and it works great,i still would buy it again.very nicely made.
by: DON-S04/21/2014
I like the basic design, but I really dislike the J hooks at the top. When you have a bike or two, hanging across the top, it is very inconvenient and time consuming to screw the bottom brace onto the metal rod of the J hook extending down.... all the way till the bike is tight. I went to a hardware store and bought 4 1 1/2 inch spacers and inserted them over the screw rod and that made it much better. It will still take 10 minutes to get the bikes off - but it's better than it was. I wouldn't mind paying more for an easier to use product.

its still the same. I still use them and do recommend them.

As of right now the install was very easy to do by myself. I was very pleased with how everything fit correctly too. Looking forward to putting our bikes on it next time we go out to our campsite.
by: Michael 04/10/2020
eTrailer continues to be my 1st thought for RV needs. Selection, price, and customer service. I had selected a different rack, partially installed it, and found that it wouldn't work for my needs. eTrailer cheerfully accepted it back and exchanged it for this rack. This one has held up very well for nearly a year now and a 2000 mile road trip carrying two adult bikes. I did add a ratcheting strap from the upper part of the rack, around the spare tire, and to the bumper to minimize bouncing.
by: Lee04/23/2019
Unfortunately, I was not able to use the product. When attempting to move the spare tire to the center of the bumper so I could use the rack, the tire slipped out of my hand and snapped off the whole bottom of the tire carrier.
However, I just want to express how easy they made it to return the item. I live in my travel trailer full-time and have not yet been able to set up Wi-Fi, so I have not been able to use my printer. Ashley E. worked with me until I finally got the UPS label printed and successfully returned the bike rack. Ashley E. was very helpful and considerate while I was having my ‘issues’.
Will definitely do business with etrailer again.

Didnt work really well for us. Not very heavy duty and tendency to get lightly warped. For light use, it probably works ok.
by: Don 05/26/2020
just put it on the camper today 5-26-20,seems like a well built product. Fits two bikes nicely and well padded. will be going over the road for a couple of weeks and I think the rack will do fine holding bikes.Product is just what I wanted not too big and not too small and built well.Would recommend purchase good price and great seller fast shipping.
by: Cheryl01/23/2019
This bike rack works great on our fifth wheel. It was very easy to install and is not a real heavy product. We are limited to 135 lbs. on our rear bumper. This rack is just under 25 lbs. so we were able to mount 2 bikes on it and still be under our limits.
As always, etrailer delivery is fast. We love the videos they post of their products that we can review before we buy.
by: Al10/06/2013
Frame hardware mounted easily. Configuration is what I needed. However, means to hold bikes to rack is intolerable. What is used is lock nuts encased in a knob. Understand the reasoning, but the threads are over 2 inches long. It takes forever to lock on a bike. Also, one knob broke off on first use. Bike attachment method needs re-work.
by: Jim Hand11/22/2013
Ordering equipment sight unseen is a bit risky, but it's always a pleasure when the goods arrive as promised and the quality turns out to be better than expected. The around-the-spare-tire bike rack is a simple design and installation is a breeze. It seems sturdy enough, but we'll have to wait for some better weather to give it the first road test. All-in-all I'm very pleased with purchase, and the customer service provided by the folks at etrailer.com was excellent as usual.
by: Catherine 12/28/2019
We tried both the basic model and the improved model of this bike rack and the improved model is much better. Don’t waste your money on the cheaper model. The metal hooks are difficult to use, the vinyl coating pulls off and then your bike is being rubbed by metal. The rubber strap fasteners are much better. However, the round holes on the strap are really hard to get over the oblong male part. My husband has to help me. Not a Thule, but close.

- Will Swagman 4 Bike Carrier S80600 Clear Spare Tire on 2013 Skyline Koala 25DS Travel TrailerThe answer to your question is going to depend on how far from the bumper the spare tire extends rearward. When installed to your bumper, the first bike slot will sit 4-3/4 inches rearward of the most rearward point of the bumper. To determine if your spare tire will interfere, you'll need to measure 4-3/4 inches rearward from the bumper to see if this distance will clear your spare tire. The upright leg of the rack will sit about 2 inches rearward of the bumper Keep in mind that even...

- Recommended RV 2-Bike Rack for 2005 Dodge Durango Towing a 2015 Forest River Rockwood Minilite 2104SI can help you find a bike rack that will suit your needs for your 2005 Dodge Durango and 2015 Forest River Rockwood Minilite 2104s. I was able to look up your RV and noticed you have quite a few options when it comes to bike racks. Since you are interested in a frame mount like # CC-275, you would want to measure your frame to be sure this bike rack would have the clearance over your propane tank covers and that the brackets will fit around your frame dimension. This rack fits A-frames...

- Bike Rack Solution for Rear Of RV that has Bumper Mounted Spare and LadderThere isn't anything written specifically for the # E-100 that says it can't be used with a hitch extension but I can tell you it's not really a great idea. Since you have a ladder though and a spare I have better bike rack options. We have the RV Around the Spare Bumper Bike Rack part # S80501 that attaches to your bumper and fits around a spare or we have the ladder bike rack # LA-102 which would be a really great option as well.
view full answer... - Solution for Carrying Bikes on Camper with Rear Mounted SpareA 50 inch crossbar spread is going to be too big for any of the roof bike racks we offer to fit. Also the 1.5 inch height of the bar is going to be too large as well. I see you have a rear mounted spare in the picture you submitted. Since most likely it's attached to a RV bumper one option you might have is the Swagman Around the Spare bike rack part # S80501.

- Recommendations for Carrying Bikes While Towing Trailer With Short A-Frame TongueThe Malone # MPG544 you'd referenced has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, which wouldn't be enough capacity for the trailer's tongue weight and the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on. Couple that with the fact that using a dual hitch adapter like # MPG544 will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your Expedition's hitch by 50 percent, carrying the bikes between the trailer and the vehicle very likely wouldn't work. This leaves a couple of options for carrying your bikes....

The rear most upright bar could simply be left off to allow clearance for the spare tire. Swagman also makes a rack that is specifically designed to fit around a spare tire, part # S80501. Unless you have a strong preference for the platform-type # S80600, the Mighty Rack might be a better alternative for you. For install details for either rack,...

The bike bunk isn't designed to withstand that kind of bouncing and jarring. I do have a solution for you, though. Take a look at the Swagman Around the Spare bike rack, part # S80501. The rack is designed for 4 or 4-1/2 inch square continuously welded steel tube bumpers, and has a 35 lb per...

- Options to Carry 2 Bikes on a Lance 1685 Travel Trailer That Has a 1-1/4 HitchI have a few potential options for you, but we do not have any 1-1/4" bike racks that are rated for use with a travel trailer. Your first option would be to replace your 1-1/4" hitch with a 2" hitch. This can be done a couple of ways. The first would be using a frame mounted hitch like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13702 (for frames 18" to 51" Wide) or # 13703 (for frames 22" to 72" Wide). You could also use the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 if you have...

It is a confirmed fit for earlier year models of the E-Series but they replied that they do not yet have a solution for the 2022 model. My go suggestion for a situation such as yours is to recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6. Or...

I have included a picture that shows how it would mount to the bumper in relation to he spare tire. You can see in the picture that the upright arms of the rack are further out than the tire. You need to look at the width of the tire, not the diameter. The rack allows for 12 inches of clearance from the bumper to the upright bars of the rack for the spare tire. I have included a link...

- Recommended Bike Rack For Four Bikes The Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 only accommodates 2 bikes. For a rack that can hold 4 bikes you'll need a receiver hitch rack like the Swagman Original - 4 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches Item # S64400. If you don't have a receiver hitch on your RV then I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. If fits frame widths of 22" to 72" and can be bolted or welded to the frame. To determine the size of your frame you'll want...

I contacted our representative at Swagman and she informed me that it is not recommended to carry a tandem bicycle on the Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, part # S80500. The reason it is not recommended is because of the length of the bike and how skinny and how close the arms of the bike rack are. A possible solution to carry your tandem bicycle would...

I have included a link to all of the racks that are rated for use behind an RV or trailer. There are also racks that attach directly to the bumper such as # S80605 and # S80501 provided the bumper is steel, fully boxed, and welded its...

Currently the only front hitch we have for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is the EcoHitch model # 306-X7352. The hitch's price reflects the fact that it is USA-made and also made from an alloy that is produced only from US-sourced recycled materials.

We do have some potential options for bike racks that you can use though, depending on the room you have or how your travel trailer is configured. For example, if you have a straight tongue trailer you can use the Hitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138. Or for a bumper-mounted option there is the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Solution Coleman Sante Fe Pop UpI'd go with the bumper mount at the rear of the pop up. Between the trailer and the tow vehicle is a viable option but since some setups have limited clearance here it's harder to know for sure if that's a feasible option. As long as you have a 4 inch boxed bumper the part # S80501 would fit and work well to carry a couple bikes.

It sounds like you're looking for a bumper rack and the only available one rated for a travel trailer is the Swagman # S80501, which will allow you to carry 2 bikes. If you've got a hitch on the back of your travel trailer you can use the Swagman Original - 4 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # S64400 to carry up to 4 bikes on your...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for RV with Grill that Extends 14 Inches from BumperThe Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2 Inch Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 referenced in your question is designed to bolt to a 4 to 4-1/2 inch tall, continuously welded steel RV bumper like what you have. However, I cannot recommend using an extender to clear the grill on your trailer. Using an adapter will actually void the warranty on Swagman Bike Racks and will also reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch receiver by 50 percent. And as you mentioned, extending this far...

Because of the extra bounce and movement that a bike racks endures at the back of a trailer compared to at the rear of a standard passenger vehicle, only bike racks that are tested and approved for this use should be used.

This will attach to your 4 inch square bumper (as long as it is continuously welded steel) and its support brackets will extend the bike cradles past a spare tire.

You will not be able to utilize the swinging motion of the tire holder unless you completely remove the tire holder.

- Spare Wheel and Tire Clearance for Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe Bike RackThe spare tire clearance for the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 that you referenced is 12-3/4 inches. That means that you'd have 12-3/4 inches from the rear edge of the bumper to the vertical upright of the bike rack. That's wider than most trailer tires so you should be fine unless you have a large spare cover on the wheel. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

Not the wheel, ugh! Yeah, if it was taller, it definitely would have helped. You know, part # LA-102 is a ladder mounted bike rack that is adjustable for height. I bet if you used this, you wouldn't have that problem again.
