Good catch. You are correct that some bike carriers are not rated for travel trailers. I recommend the Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack - 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Silver # Y02476. This bike rack is rated for travel trailer use as well as every other use. This comes with the hitch and bike locks included.

If you have kids bikes, women's bikes, or other step-thru frames, you may also want to use the Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531 or Swagman # 64005.

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Hey Alexandria! Bike racks rated for travel trailers are pretty limited. There is quite a bit of additional force back there. This also means there are no 1-1/4" bike racks that will work. I have two different options for you. The first is to…
