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…

RV and Camper Hitch with 400 lbs TW capacity
With 400 lbs tw, an RV and camper hitch gives room for heavier gear like an e-bike rack or a cargo carrier. Confirm your RV bumper is rated for the combined weight of the rack and bikes, and choose a rack approved for travel trailer use. Proper installation can help keep the setup solid on rough roads.
Many options are designed around 4" tube bumpers, and some work on 5" as well. Confirm your bumper size and material before ordering. During install, check plate alignment and that the 2" tubing can enter the receiver; slight notch adjustment of about 1/8" was needed in one case.
Yes, 400 lbs TW can handle many two e-bike or cargo carrier setups. Add up the rack or carrier plus everything on it and compare to 400 lbs. Confirm your RV bumper's own capacity since that's often the real limit. Use a rack rated for use on a travel trailer, and factor in rough-road use when deciding your load.
Verify the bumper is adequately rated for the combined weight of your rack and load. Tube-style bumpers can fail at the welds if overloaded, even with support brackets. If you're unsure, have the bumper's rating confirmed and keep weight conservative for rough roads.
It can help keep a rack solid if installed properly. Tighten the hardware fully and recheck after your first drive or rough roads. Use any included anti-rattle or locking features, and make sure the rack and receiver fit snugly to minimize shake.
