I was wondering if there are any travel-trailer approved bike racks that carry 5 bikes. I see some that carry four but haven’t found one that carries 5

I have a solution for you, however, there are not any 5-bike carriers compatible with a travel trailer. I recommend going with Swagman Trailhead 4 Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # S63381 and then using a different bike carrier for the remaining bike. For the remaining bike, you could use Surco 2 Bike Carrier Ladder Mount # SP501BR if your travel trailer has a ladder on the back. This clamps onto a ladder that has 1" tubing and can carry 1 or 2 bikes.

If you do not have a ladder on the back of your travel trailer then your last option is to use Swagman Straddler Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2" # S80503. This will mount to the front of your A-frame trailer tongue and give you an elevated 2" receiver for a bike rack. You can then use a bike rack such as Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # S63400. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.
