Question:
Hello, I have a 2014 Keystone Bullet 2311inch 204RBS travel trailer with the standard 4x4inch rear bumper with spare tire bolted on. My question is, can I purchase a 36inch or similar Class !V 2x2inch tubing extension so that it is welded to the frame of the trailer. The purpose is to carry a two bicycle Swagman bike rack on the back of my trailer. The regular bumper is not strong enough to carry the bikes.Thankyou.

The best solution I can provide for you would be the Curt adjustable multi-fit trailer hitch part # 13703 which can basically fit any trailer frame that is between 22 and 72 inches in width. This would be great for carrying a bike rack, but you will need to make sure the bike rack is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a trailer.
The Swagman Bike rack part # S64663 would be perfect for this and would be what I would recommend.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.
