According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Hey Frank. I can give you the dimensions of the shank on the B&W Continuum item #BW28FR but you're going to need to take the measurements on your Silverado 3500 to confirm the tailgate will open. From the hitch pin hole to the center of the…
No, it will not Mayra. The Universal Wheel Holder Kit item #HR89FR is designed to replace the wheel holders on the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item #HLY84FR. This is a custom fit replacement part so it's not…
Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…
Hey Alexandria! Bike racks rated for travel trailers are pretty limited. There is quite a bit of additional force back there. This also means there are no 1-1/4" bike racks that will work. I have two different options for you. The first is to…
Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2" Hitch Receiver #MNT72VR can work for carrying e-bikes, but there are a few things you'll want to consider. The main limiting factor here is the capacity of your bumper.…
Hey Sharon, the better option for you would be the Fastway e2 part #FA92-00-0600 which is going to better match your loaded tongue weight compared to the system you mentioned. This has a tongue range of up to 600 lb instead. This would allow you to…
Hey David, thanks for reaching out. The ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2" Hitch Receiver for 4" RV Bumpers #MNT72VR can absolutely work for carrying a few electric bikes. The hitch itself has a 400 lb capacity so that will be more than enough. The…
Hi Jeff, The Redarc Tow-Pro Link Bluetooth Brake Controller part #RED57AR doesn't require a wiring harness adapter to install. This brake controller works by plugging directly into your factory 7-way and is controlled from the remote that plugs…
Hey Danny, what you would want is the ShakeStopper Heavy Duty 2 inch hitch part #MNT72VR which has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity and was designed with heavier bike racks in mind. The hitch you mentioned only has a 100 lb capacity so it would not be…
Hey Travis! The right MORryde GooseTech depends on the pin box bolt pattern and GVWR of the Solitude 310GK. If it is a little older it probably has a Lippert 1621, I believe the newer models use the Lippert Rhino. You can ask whoever you're…
Hey Robert. The MORryde GooseTech 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box item #MR47MV works with Lippert 1621 pin boxes up to 19,000 lbs GVWR. These are only a few months old so there's no word yet about MORryde making ones with a higher capacity. If…
I received this order yesterday. Thanks for the outstanding service. I appreciate it! Thanks, Alex

Swagman RV and Camper Hitch for bike racks
Bring your bikes along with confidence using a Swagman RV and camper hitch. Mount above the bumper only—under-bumper installs are not allowed and can create clearance issues—and confirm your trailer has a continuously-welded steel bumper for rack use. Intended for carrying bike racks, not for towing, for a purpose-built setup behind your trailer or 5th wheel.
No. Swagman bumper hitches are designed to mount on top of the bumper, not underneath. Mounting below can overload the bolts and reduce ground clearance, risking contact with the road. If top-mount space is tight, look for a hitch style specifically designed for your location and verify clearance with the bike rack and bikes installed.
There are no 1-1/4" RV bumper hitches; RV hitches start at 2". You can use a reducer in the 2" receiver to fit a 1-1/4" rack, but it will extend the rack farther out. Make sure the bike rack is RV-rated and verify the added length doesn't create clearance issues.
Yes, mounting hardware is included and the components are robust with quality bolts and lock nuts. Consider adding gasket material to protect the bumper surface. If torque specs aren't listed, check the instructions or the manufacturer before tightening the nuts.
No, it is not to be used for towing. It's designed to carry up to a 3-bike rack. Confirm your RV bumper is continuously-welded steel and strong enough for the combined weight. Use a bike rack that is RV-rated to handle the extra stresses at the back of an RV.
Yes, it has been mounted on a 4" rear bumper. Verify your bumper dimensions and that it's continuously-welded steel. Check your ground clearance and tighten the anti-rattle/provision screw after the rack is installed to help reduce movement while driving.
