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…
Hi Guy, That's a great question, and thank you for providing so much detail. It really helps narrow things down. Based on your description, it sounds like you may have cruiser style or step through bikes with front baskets, and that combination…
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…
Hey Steven! For your 2023 Jayco Eagle 355MBQS I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack #HLY64FR. This is rated for 5th wheel use and has a capacity of 80 lbs per bike so it works with standard bikes and e-bikes. It also uses padded clamps…
Hi Ken! It looks like you have almost everything you need to set up your 2026 Jeep Gladiator Sahara for flat towing. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms #e98948 is a perfect fit and the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount -…
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…
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 Ginger! The Lets Go Aero Jack-E Bike Rack for Electric Bikes - Trailer Tongue Rack #LGA92ZR requires minimum of 24-1/2" from center of jack hole to the front of the camper itself, so if you have 25" then you are right there and it would…
Hey Brett, the Lets Go Aero Jack-E Bike Rack for Electric Bikes #LGA92ZR that you referenced was designed to fit above propane tank covers like you can see in the attached picture. I don't see how it could fit behind the handles you have on that…
There sure is Fran and welcome back! The Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover item #BLU53QV is exactly what you need. This cover will fit the Blue Ox Alpha Non-Binding Tow Bar item #BX7380 perfectly. The Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover item #BLU53QV is made of heavy duty…
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…
Hey Kenny, welcome back! The reason for that note is because all of the new systems since 2025 use R32 refrigerant due to EPA regulations. Any 2024 and older systems use R410A and their parts are not compatible with the R32 units. It doesn't mean…
RV and Camper Bike Racks with platform rack for RV hitches
Rolling with a platform rack on an RV hitch rack makes loading simple and keeps bikes planted on rougher RV roads. You'll find frame-mount options that work with fenders and step-through frames, as well as tire-strap setups that secure at the wheels. Bringing e-bikes along is doable—just match the rack's weight rating and choose RV-approved designs for motorhomes or travel trailers.
Use an anti-rattle threaded hitch bolt to help tighten the connection. Some through-bolt locks can feel inadequate, so consider an anti-rattle design that secures the shank firmly. Expect some jostle; verify your tilt and fold mechanisms lock in place and check bumper clearance when folded. Adding reflector tape can improve visibility when folded up.
Assembly is doable but can take some time on a first build. Plan for careful steps and adjustments, especially with mixed bike sizes or a low step-through frame. Test-fit and fine-tune wheel trays and hooks so each bike sits best in relation to the other. Do a trial load before hitting the road.
Pick a platform rack that is specifically approved for RV or travel trailer use. Look for a reinforced shank and confirm the per-bike capacity for RV use, as ratings can differ behind RVs. If mounting to a trailer or flat-tow setup, verify the connection point and clearance, and test load the bikes before a long trip.
Yes, a platform RV hitch rack can carry step-through and fendered e-bikes. Use frame-mount hooks or wheel straps that fit under the fender to secure the tires. Very low step-through frames may need a frame adapter bar. When loading two bikes, place the heavier e-bike closer to the vehicle when the hook and bar lengths allow it, and double-check hook reach before driving.
