$292.94

Question:

Am I seeing it right that this rack wouldnt work on a camper trailer? My scamp camper has a 2 inch receiver on the back. Ill also be using this on my Tacoma. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use.

The most similar 4 bike rack we have to the one you mentioned is the Swagman Trailhead part # S63381 which is a very nice rack at a great price. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
