The popular wheel mounted bike rack is now available for your RV bumper! Simply secure the steel U-Bolts provided with the rack to your bumper. The upright bar in the center of the rack gives added support to your bikes while towing.The bicycle rack mounted easily by myself without help from another person. It is very strong and holds our two bicycles just as I had hoped. I slipped a pool noodle over the upright support bar to prevent scratching the inside bicycle. The only thing I can suggest is that the product would have been better if it included the cover for the upright support pole and some strapping material to keep the bicycles solidly in place while traveling. The strapping material is not a big priority for me though because I have lots of it.
This was a great compromise in cost, ease of install and use.
Easily attached to the bumper (and saved cost as I didn't need to install a hitch on the RV).
Bikes went in well, but needed to use pool noodles to insulate the bikes from each other and from the central pole. (Will switch to more sturdy pipe insulation next time). Add some bungies and velcro straps (to hold the wheels) and you're all set.
Held our 2 mountain bikes flawlessly over our 8,000 mile road trip last summer.
Cannot slide the two sections far enough apart so that both bike wheels will fit into their respective slot. When mounted the ends of the rack stick past the bumper on the vehicle side too far. This means that the ends are sticking into the cut out for the RV back wall above the tow hitch which limits moving the sections further apart. Also an improvement could be made by having a hinge that would allow for lifting the rack in an upright storage position.
It's been just over a year tha I purchased my Swagman two-bike rack for my 5th wheel. The customer service I received form "etrailer" was exemplary. I had questions about the size and my CSR actually called the manufacturer got the answer and called me back! The rack was an easy mount requiring one wrench, two hands and about ten minutes. It's sturdy, looks great and functions flaulessly! Although it isn't a suggested procedure, at 265 pounds I stand on mine to wash my back window. Of course I stand close to the bumper and not on the outter edge, but my point is, it's a very sturdy unit and is at a great price point. If you need a rack look no further than, etrailer and Swagman!

Ive sold my 5th wheel and the bike rack but the new owner loved the rack. My experience with the rack is I cant imagine a rack being easier to install, more sturdy for the price point or in general a great piece of equipment.
Bike rack was exactly how it appears. Quality material of construction for what it is. Total time to assemble, about 20 minutes. Had a question about shipping time, got a quick response from George at etrailer. Bike rack actually came in earlier than scheduled date.
Nice rack for the money, easy install, looks good on the rear bumper of the motor home. One item of caution....be sure that when performing a sharp turn in the motor home, that the bike rack does not hit the tow vehicle if in fact a vehicle is in tow. I checked this for clearance before I went on the road
So far so good, using it to mount a generator to the rear bumper of our 5th wheel. Have not had her on the road yet, so I'm not sure how it will hold up. It feels very secure so I'm feeling good that it will hold up.

Bike rack working great,Ive been using it as a generator platform on the rear of my 5th wheel.
I ask for information on the bike racks that would fit my rv and they answered all my questions. My order arrived sooner than I thought and I installed it last nite and it will work fine. I am planning on sending pictures.
Thanks to all

The rack is great, just what I wanted. I recommend this to all the campers I meet with bikes.
It is a beautiful piece of equipment ever made to transport bikes on the rear of a rv
Great price for a simple but effective bike rack. Have used it on the back of a 5th wheel RV, and overall it works well. Installation was very easy, be sure to adjust the position of the two pieces to fit your bicycle footprint. I just used some creative bungee cording to hold the bikes in place at the wheels and to the vertical pipe. The bikes are held firmly in place with very little movement.
My only real issue is with the vertical support, and its lack of adjustability. In my case, the bikes would lean towards the RV, with the handlebar hitting the glass window because it was so close. I attached a 2x4 spacer to the vertical support to position the inside bike straight up, and that took care of the issue, but it would be nice if there was some way of adjusting the bar.
Also, kudos to etrailer, for their great support. Delivery came early, and product was in great shape. I've used Etrailer before, and will continue to.
I can’t really offer much on this as we haven’t used it. We were told the camper bumper isn’t strong enough to hold the weight. It will require some additional welding to the frame. Wish we had waited to purchase this unfortunately.

This rack is built for continuous welded steel square bumpers at least 4 inches and no more than 4.5 inches wide. This is not built for use on aluminum or spot weld bumpers. We do recommend checking with your trailer manufacturer to make sure that the factory bumper can support the weight of a loaded rack. This rack has a weight capacity of 70 lbs and the rack itself is roughly 20 lbs. If you are looking for something that does not require additional welding, then you might want to look into getting a universal hitch, like part # C13701, along with an RV rated bike rack, like part # S44FR.

I bought not as a bike rack, but as a platform to bolt a couple large storage contains on the back of my camper. My regular hitch style bike rack fits right between...worked great. I've been using it for one year now...no problems.
Everything went great from the git go, the rack was at my front door the day I was told that it would arrive. The installation was a snap; it took about 15 minutes to complete, the only tool you need is a 9/16" wrench. The loading of the bikes are quick and easy, much better than hauling them in the bed of the pick up, which took a lot of time trying to strap them so they would not get damaged during the trip. Today was my first trip with the bike rack, I hauled 2 mountain bikes for 75 miles with no problem or damage to the bikes. Great product!
I recently purchased the RV Bumper 2 bikeRack from etrailer.com. I received my purchase in a timely fashion and found the item to be well made and easy to install on the back of my View Finder travel trailer. I used it for the first time this past week to transport my wife's and my own mountain bike on our scheduled getaway to Astoria. It functioned flawlessly. The bikes were easy to load and unload and were secure during transport. I strongly recommend this product.
Bike Rack arrived in minimum time and was exactly as described. Have not installed yet, since I need to relocate the spare tire on my camper. I will use it in the same area as the spare tire.

where are you going to put the spare tire

I have now used the bike rack for two years. Many people have asked about it. I had my dealer move my spare tire underneath my fifth wheel behind the front battery storage area. He added a cable hook up to lower and raise the spare tire. Very similar to how spare tires are mounted in trucks. He did it for less than $100 .
Excellent product. Easy to install. Very fast service from etrailer.com.

Great product! Holds the bike well. I never concern myself with the safety of the bikes while using this rack.
Fits and holds bikes very well, 4 inch bumper - they need to add more support for the upright bikes, they hit rear of trailer.

I agree, they should include two uprights. I ordered a 2nd one from Skagman, around 30 bucks with shipping.
Ordered the bike rack on a Tuesday afternoon, UPS delivered the rack the following Thursday morning. The quality of the frame work is very sturdy. Excellent product. We installed the bike rack with no problem. I had looked for several months for an rv bumper bike rack and could not find one that we thought we would like or would work very well. My husband ran across this web site as he looked for a rack. We are very pleased......and gald we ordered from etrailer.com. We will do business again with them if ever needed. Could not take pictures, as I do not have a cell phone that can do that. Still old school......
A total piece of junk! Does not secure even one bike to the rack. If you used this product your bikes would not be there when you stopped. I wasted my money.
I am very well pleased with my purchase of the 2 bike rack, It was easy to install. Just what I was looking for. The rack allowed me to free up that space in the back of the truck. Ordering was easy, and delivery was quick. Thank you.
Seems like a great product. Easy to install with just a few basic hand tools. I had my 6 yr old daughter help me hold them in place while putting the U-bolt through but could be done with just one person. These are a little tricky if you have the rear bumper mounted tire carrier.
We put a bike and ramps on there to go from ct to fl worked great! Sturdy. Thanks
This bike rack has great flexibility for any size bike. It could use some eye bolts for tie-downs, but it assembled easily.
Very happy with this product. It was lightweight, yet strong enough to carry both bikes. Super easy to install! Would recommend it for anyone with a square tube style rear R/V bumper.
Very easy to install. However, I believe an additional stabilizer bar should be added with an additional bar between the 2 stabilizer bars to make it easier to secure the bikes.

It is possible that this might not be the bike rack for you. How wide are your tires? Would you be able to send a picture of your bikes on the rack?
