Question:
Can you recommend a product that I can attached to my 2012 StarCraft comet 1222 so I can add a bike rack to the back bumper.

Expert Reply:
The Trailer Bumper Hitch Receiver, part # E-100, can be used on a pop-up camper with up to a 4 inch square bumper. However, you cannot exceed the limits of your camper bumper. The bumper towing and tongue capacities may be indicated on the bumper itself, but if not you could check your camper owner's manual or contact the manufacturer of your camper.
You can view some general information on towing and the rest of the RV bumper hitches we offer at the links provided.
You are going to need a bike rack that is rated for use on the back of a camper. I recommend the Swagman Original part # S64152-2. This bike rack can carry up to three bikes. You will most likely need an adapter bar, # 64005, to carry any ladies' or kids' bikes level, especially if the bike has a step-through frame. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
