Expert Reply:

I have two great 4-bike rack options for your 2012 Coachmen Mirada. The best one for you will really depend on what type of bikes you have. If you have kid's or women's bikes then you will want to go with a platform style bike rack, I recommend the Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack part # S64665 because it has an anti-rattle hitch lock to help stabilize the bike rack and your bikes. It also comes with a cable lock for your bikes to prevent theft. If you are not using the bike rack you can fold it up against the back of the motor home.

If you don't have any kid's or women's bikes then you can get away with a hanging bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack part # S63381 because it has anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes in place and it also has an anti-rattle hitch pin to help stabilize the bike rack and your bikes. If you wanted you could still use this bike rack with kid's or women's bikes you would just also need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005.

In summary, I recommend the Swagman XTC4 because it will be easiest to use, can accommodate different types of bikes, and comes with locks. It however will be less cost effective than the Swagman Trailhead.
