Question:
Can I use the rear hitch on my 2020 Forrest River Rockwood MiniLite? If not why not? Also what would you recommend? I am carrying one hybrid and one low step bike. I was using a saris but the carrying bar for the low step broke on the last trip.

You can use the rear hitch receiver on your 2020 Forest River Rockwood MiniLite. For your specific bikes, I recommend the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 which is rated for travel trailer use as long as your bikes are not over 35 lbs each. If the low step-thru bike frame is too low then using a bike adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005 can be used to create a top frame rail for the hook. To secure your bikes you can use a cable lock like # e98891 and run it though the safety chain loop on your hitch receiver.
The Lets Go Aero NEO2 2-Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # B01748 is not rated for travel trailer use. Travel trailers have more movement than vehicles and larger trailers so they are far more limited for options of bike racks due to the sway and torque.
