Question:

Is this bike rack easy to remove from the bumper? We dont have the space at home to keep the bike rack carrier on.

For the average individual, I would say that it is fairly easy to remove the RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, # S80605. You would be removing 8 bolts total on the three piece rack. The two larger sections probably make up the bulk of the weight. The entire unit only weighs about 24 pounds. So with the right tools and about 5 minutes tops, you could have the rack off the bumper and placed out of the way.

It would probably take longer to put the rack on the bumper unless you had a helper. But again, you are looking at 8 bolts. And given the right tools, it should not take much longer than that 5 minutes to put the rack back on; especially if you had two people on the job.
