The highest capacity 4 bike rack we offer that has been confirmed as a fit for use on the back of an RV travel trailer that I would recommend is the Swagman Trailhead part # S63381. This is a great rack with a 140 lb capacity that has all of the features of the more expensive racks like anti-sway cradles and anti-rattle hitch pin. This rack will carry the bikes by attaching to the frames of the bikes.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
