We offer a number of bumper mounted trailer hitches. The Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # E-100, fits a 4" X 4" bumper. There is also a 4" X 2" version, part # C19101. Each of these trailer hitches have a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs.

We only have one hitch bike rack that is rated for a travel trailer and rated to carry e-bikes that weigh as much as your bike. The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # S94FR, is rated for travel trailers. It has a weight limit of 70 lbs per bike. You should not need an adapter bar for the women's bike with this hitch bike rack.

You will have to get the Fat Tire Adapter Kit for Swagman G10 and E-Spec Bike Racks, part # S64679. These wheel holders will replace the stock ones, allowing you to carry a bike with tires up to 5.0" in size. I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

Hello, just checking on this Q&A, i read that the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # S94FR can work for a travel trailer, but on it's page i don't see where it says you can use the 4"x4" bumper with a Curt RV 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver ... which allows a 350lbs tongue weight and gross trailer weight of 3,500 pounds. can you confirm the E-Spec Bike Rack will work with the 4"x4" bumper?

@RobB the # S94FR will work with the Curt Hitch # E-100. The hitch is designed for RV approved accessories, like the Swagman E-Spec. Since the bike rack is rated for a travel trailer that won't be a problem. On the bike rack side, it isn't a matter of the hitch style, simply a matter of the additional movement and force it will be subjected to on the back of a travel trailer.
