To put a hitch on the back of your 2021 Airstream Globetrotter I recommend using something like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703, which can be welded or bolted on to box frames, C-channel frames, or I-beam frames of a trailer. You will want to measure between the two side frame stanchions to make sure that you've got between 22" and 72" between them, but this is generally our most flexible option and will allow you to carry a bike rack on the rear of your trailer.
If you don't already have a rack that is rated for use on the back of a travel trailer, you may want to have a look at the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR, which can carry 2 bikes that weigh up to 66-lbs each, so it's a really popular solution among our customers that have e-bikes or other heavy bikes they need to bring along. I really like that the OnRamp has a ramp built in to make loading the bikes easier.
I've linked an installation and review video of the hitch for you to check out, as well. If you find you've got a frame that is wider than 72" let me know and I can look for an alternative solution for you.

These rear hitches on Airstreams with bike racks & bikes obliterate most of the trailers tail lights! How do I tap in a four wire pigtail for a bike rack light bar?
