Question:

It was recommended that when the adjustable width trailer receiver 13703 is used on a pop up camper that the swagman original s64400 or XP s64910-2 bike racks be used because of the rougher ride behind the camper. My question is, since Im wanting to use the SR26247 parallelogram with my jeep at times when Im not pulling my camper could I use the SR26247 instead of the recommended ones above? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

There are only certain bike racks that are rated for use behind a trailer or RV. I have included a link to the options for you.

Also, Curt says that you have to use a stabilization strap, # 18050, when using trailer hitch # 13703 with a bike rack for their warranty requirements. The strap is used to reduce some of the stress on the hitch and frame.
