We do have a solution for you to be able to carry bikes on your Coleman popup camper but we do not have a trailer hitch that will work with your camper. The only bumper mount hitch we offer for a 2 x 4 bumper will not work with a C-channel bumper.

I recommend using a Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack like part # SR1020. This rack attaches to the roof of your camper and you can attach crossbar mounted bike carriers. Since it is mounted on the roof of the camper you don't have to worry about ground clearance.

For bike racks that do not require removing the front wheel to carry I recommend the Thule ProRide XT, part # TH598004.This bike carrier clamps to the frame of the bike to secure it in place. I have attached a link to our product page for the roof mounted bike racks we offer. If you have any questions about a specific item just let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
