For your 2015 Jayco Jay Flight SLX camper trailer I recommend the Yakima RoadTrip 4 Bike Rack # Y02477. The RoadTrip is designed for use behind a motor home or camper and will work well to carry up to 4 bikes behind your Jay Flight. This rack does require a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver on the trailer.

If your spare tire is above the hitch receiver on your trailer, the spare will may need to be repositioned to allow the bike rack to fit. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the back mast of the rack measures 10-1/2 inches. Depending on the location and width of your spare, this may or may not be enough room to clear the tire entirely.

If you plan on carrying bikes with alternative frames, such as kids' bikes or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar, like # 64005. The adapter bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem. This allows the bike to be positioned more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a review video for this adapter bar for you.

I have linked all of the 4 bike carriers that are confirmed to be able to be carried behind a motor home, RV, or trailer.
