Question:

Hi. I am looking for a good but not too expensive bike rack for my 5th wheel trailer. I like the type that the bike tires are held down. I want something very secure. It will be for beach cruiser type bikes mostly. Im hoping to find one that will hold 3 bikes. If it only holds 2 I can deal with that as long as there is room to also put one bike mounted to the ladder. Thank you for your help...

Sounds like you are looking for a platform bike rack that is fifth wheel trailer hitch compatible. For that we have the Frame mounted Swagman Nomad Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S36FR which carries up to two bikes.

However, if you want a tire-mount, I recommend the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR. It only touches the bikes at the tire like you said you wanted, which is a nice feature to protect delicate frame materials and paint. This is also approved for your

Then for a ladder bike rack for your third bike we have the part # LA-102 which would fit and work well.
