Hey Patti, thanks for reaching out. The Swagman E-Spec Pro Bike Rack #S45SR is a solid option for this. It can hold two bikes weighing up to 70 lbs apiece on a 5th wheel, and it does not have a minimum tongue weight capacity limitation like the…
Hey Scott. The Lets Go Aero Jack-E Bike Rack item #LGA92ZR does not swivel and doesn't have a simple process for swapping out propane tanks. You'll need to remove the bolts attaching the tray to the supports to be able to remove your propane…
Hey Charles, the Swagman E-Spec part #S45SR is rated for use at the rear of a travel trailer so it will work great for you. It is odd that it's not closer connected to the other RV rated bike racks but that's our fault and I'll see if I…
THey Brian, the Coleman Mach Signature Mach 15 part #CM32RR is a really solid AC unit. As far as how it compares to the Furrion Chill Cube #FR69TD it only has the advantage of working more consistently with furnace controls. Aside from that the Chill…
Hey Tony, you would need to go with an E-bike rack that is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of RVs like what you have like with the Lets Go Aero part #LGA25VR . What e-bikes do you have?
Hey Tom, this is a really great question but we had an affiliate who tried all of the newer cushioned fifth wheel to gooseneck adapters and he said the MORryde Goosetec like the part #MR47MV provided the smoothest ride quality. This would be what I…
Hello Bobby, I have a great solution for you to be able to transport your two 55 lb bikes on the back of your travel trailer with a spare tire. You will want the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric VFR Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes #LGA25VR. This rack is rated…
Hi Sue, I don't recommend using the etrailer High-Low Adjustable Adapter part #e52ZV to lower your bike rack. Using an adapter decreases the tongue weight of your trailer hitch by up to 50%. The typical e bike can weight anywhere from 50-80lbs…
Hi Tanya, Only certain bike racks are recommended for use behind a fifth wheel due to the extra movement and bounce the rack has to withstand behind a fifth wheel compared to when it's on the back of a vehicle. Bike racks are tested by the…
Good afternoon Trevor, thanks for stopping by our (online) shop. The Trailer Valet JXC Trailer Jack w/ Footplate and Drill Powered Option - 1.6K #TV94FR does have a universal bolt pattern that works with just about anything, and it would 100% fit the…
Hello Marge, welcome back. I am sorry to say there isn't a great way to rig up a ramp to the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack #HLY84FR. This rack has wheel hoops and they just don't work well as a ramp attachment point. If you need a…
Hey there Lisa, hope you're having a great day. So you actually brought up a really good question. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar for 2" Hitch Receivers #e38FV uses a gate that comes down and makes contact with the shank of the bike…
Very helpful/friendly Customer Service. Competitive Pricing. Shipping was Fast.

RV and Camper Bike Racks for RV Ladder Rack
When your hitch is off-limits, RV and camper bike racks in the RV Ladder Rack style mount to the rear ladder so you can bring bikes without modifying your rig. Bikes commonly hang vertically from the seatpost area to limit overhang, installation is straightforward, and you can secure them with built-in straps or extra bungees; avoid mounting on a side ladder for safety.
No, mounting bikes on a side ladder is a bad idea due to the risk of contact with people or objects. Keep bike loads at the rear. If a rear ladder isn't workable, consider a different rack style on a receiver instead. Always verify you have safe clearance around the load.
Bikes typically hang vertically from the part of the frame that holds the seat post. This helps keep them from sticking out past the side of the RV. Center the load so the bike doesn't overhang one side. Secure with the included straps, and add a bungee if needed to limit sway.
Yes, an RV Ladder Rack can be a solid alternative when a hitch-mounted rack isn't an option. Expect a little trial-and-error to find the best bike placement. Slide the cradles along the bar for alignment and use padding or bungees to reduce contact points and help hold bikes firmly. Check clearance from the back wall and between bikes before heading out.
Bikes hang down and can take up most of the ladder's length, so other ladder-mounted items may not fit at the same time. Some racks swing for ladder access, but they can block a door when folded—check clearances. Verify hardware tightness; short screws or tight latch loops may need extra care. Monitor for any sagging over time.
Kids' bikes can fit and be held securely. Some e-bikes with a battery in the frame triangle may need to be carried upside down, and thick frames can make rubber straps hard to use—add bungees to secure. Always check weight limits and frame fit before loading.
