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.

Doesn’t accommodate a lot of bike styles. The bar directly below the seat has to be straight to use this rack. If it is curved it is hard to mount the bike on it.

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.

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.

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.

The rack is ok, the bikes sit pretty low and will sometimes hit the ground if we are pulling into a steep area. The brackets will not slide apart, they fit so tight that now that we have them together, we cannot get them apart. It was very problematic when we had a blow out along the highway, we had to push the tire out between the bracket. The concept is good, it just isn't quite as good as it could be.

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!

Impossible to fit two bicycles onto rack. The supports upon which they sit are too bulky and too far apart.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

See what our Experts say about this Swagman RV and Camper Bike Racks
- Is The Swivel Hitch Extender S86SR Rated For A Travel TrailerHey Charles, The Swagman Swivel # S86SR is not rated for use with a travel trailer. All of the swing away adapters that we carry are not rated for that kind of use. They can only be used on a Car, Truck, SUV or Van ( Class B motorhomes are built on a standard van chassis) due to the extra movement/torque that would come from being on the rear of the travel trailer. It is not rated to withstand that. Depending on what you are needing the swing away feature for you could go with a bike...
view full answer... - Bumper Mounted Bike Rack to Clear Spare Tire on 2019 Rockwood Roo Travel TrailerThe distance from center of hitch pin hole to edge of first upright arm on the # S64663 is 10-1/2 inches. However, the distance to first wheel hoop is only 8 inches. You may still be able to use this rack as long as you can slide your spare tire to either side (Fig 1), this is what most of our customers actually do and it's worked very well. The Swagman # S64663 is designed to be used on continuously welded, 4 - 4-1/2 inch tall, steel RV bumpers. If relocating the spare tire along the...

- 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.
view full answer... - Could Hollywood Racks Sport Rider HR1450 Fit Gulf Stream BT Cruiser with SpareThe Hollywood Racks Bike Rack part # HR1450Z is rated for use behind a motorhome like you have. Whether it would fit with the spare or not really depends on where and how the spare mounts to the motorhome. I wasn't able to find pictures of the rear of your motorhome, but if the spare is offset to one side and the hitch is centered this would fit and work well.
view full answer... - How to Carry Bike Rack on Aliner Chalet CamperAdding a bike rack like the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe Rack, # S80501, to the back of your Aliner Chalet Camper would cause added strain on the bumper and as the dealer said, it may not be sturdy enough to handle the additional load. In this case I recommend taking a look at the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer Mounted Bike Carrier, # CC-275. This would allow you to carry your bikes at the front of your trailer with a 2" hitch mounted bike rack like the Swagman Original, # S64152-2....

- 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...
view full answer... - Mounting Rear Bike Rack on Freedom Express 192RBSYou should contact Coachman and ask how many pounds their rear bumpers are rated for. Most are not rated for any weight. Small trailer bumpers are notorious for falling off as you travel down the road if loaded. IF it is rated for a few hundred pounds of tongue/verticle weight, then the Curt # E-100 bumper receiver would be a good fit. Next, most bike racks are not rate strong enough for use the the back of a travel trailer where they get tremendous bouncing forces. I have included...
view full answer... - RV Rated Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for an Aliner Camper TrailerThere are no spare tire bike racks rated for an RV or camper spare tire. However, if your Aliner's bumper is rated for towing and/or carrying weight, we offer several bike rack options that are rated for use behind a camper. Take a look at the Swagman Around the Spare Mighty Rack, # S80501. This rack is designed to fit a 4 to 4-1/2 inch continuous welded square bumper and fit around the spare tire. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for reference. Another...
view full answer... - How to Determine How RV Bumper is WeldedMost RV bumpers have a plastic plug on each end, so the interior of the bumper can be used for storage. You should be able to remove the plug and look inside the bumper to see how the seam is welded, one continuous weld or a series of spot welds. A continuously welded bumper is stronger, and would be suitable for a bike rack like the Swagman # S80501. As long as the bumper is steel and continuously welded, the weight of the rack and that of the bikes carried on it should not have any ill...
view full answer... - Rear Bumper Bike Rack for 2021 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BHThe best bike rack solution we have for RVs like yours that have the spare mounted on the rear bumper is the Swagman Around the Spare part # S80501 which mounts around the spare and to the bumper like the name implies. The Camber you mentioned would not have enough clearance.

- Recommended Replcement RV StereoWe have a few stereo options that will work great for you but it will depend on whether you have a single DIN or double DIN stereo currently. If you have a single DIN, I recommend using # DV3300SBL or # 324-000032. Both of these are great options. The main difference is the Furrion is designed to play music and listen to the radio more so than watching DVDs. The Drive RV DVD player might be better if you are primarily using it to play DVDs. If you currently have a double DIN stereo,...

Instead you'd want a bike rack like the Swagman Around the Spare part # S80501 which would work well for you. It attaches to the camper bumper and fits around the spare.

The rack weighs about 20 lbs and can carry two bikes up to 35 lbs each. I assume you are asking because Forest River doesn't recommend carrying anything on their Flagstaff Ultra Lite bumpers but people have been doing so for years without issues. The manufacturer doesn't even recommend mounting a spare tire to it and yet...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack for Trailer with Spare Tire on Rear BumperThere is not an RV rated bike rack that mounts to a spare tire, but I have a solution for you for a bike rack compatible with your trailer. I recommend the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663. This carrier will mount to your bumper and support your bikes to give you a safe transport. I recommend you also use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 2" Shanks - 8-1/2' Long # S64030 to deter theft. This will allow you to easily...

- Solution to Carry 4 Bikes with Camper TrailerThere aren't a lot of RV bike racks that will hold 4 bikes that don't have hitches but I do have a solution. You can use the Around the Spare Bike Rack part # S80501 at the rear of the camper for two bikes and then the Jack It # LC429756 up front where the trailer jack mounts and you'd be set.

If so, then the Ultra Fab bumper hitch part # UF35-946402 would be a great option for a bike rack. You'll need a bike rack confirmed for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a camper though. For that we have the Swagman E-Spec...

However, none of the compatible racks mount to the spare tire itself but if your RV has a 4 to 4-1/2 inch square steel bumper then you could use the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe rack # S80501.

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...

You would have to contact Jayco to determine if the bumper has enough capacity. But if the bumper is a square bumper 4 inch or 4-1/2 inch that is continuously welded this will fit and work well.
