Question:
Ive seen mention of hitch-mounted bike racks causing sway issues and that the preferred solution is to mount over the tongue or on the tow vehicle. We would prefer to keep the bikes on the trailer as our tow vehicle varies. Do you have a recommendation of a tongue-mount carrier that works well? Does it matter if the Scamp has one or two propane tanks?

I think your best option is to use theHitch-It 2 Bike Rack for Straight Tongue Trailers # LC731138. This can fit onto your shank or trailer tongue (fits between 2"-3" in diameter) between your vehicle and travel trailer and provides a nice 2-bike platform rack. One thing to keep in mind is that you may need a longer shank if you don't already have an extended one. Curt Class III Drawbar # C45270 may work which measures 13" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball mount hole. This provides 2" rise and 4" drop, but if you need other sizes then you can look at the other ball mount options on the page I linked for you.
I attached a few demonstration videos for you to check out.
