Hi Jane, I'm sorry to say that the Lippert Flip Down Bike Storage Tray # LC358682-373965 won't be able to mount on your Chaparral X-Lite Coachman 5th Wheel. I can tell by your pictures that you don't have enough space to mount the brackets on the frame between the body and the bumper.

The only option would be to use something like the Swagman RV 4-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack # S80600. This only requires 1-1/2" between the back of the bumper and the rear wall of the trailer and 1-1/2" from the top of the bumper to any part of the trailer's body. The one downside to this is that it doesn't fold up for storage.

Alternatively, you could use the etrailer RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # e38HR. This fits 4" x 4" or 4" x 4-1/2" bumpers and would allow you to use a standard bike rack as long as it is rated for a 5th wheel. I went ahead and included a link below with all of our 5th wheel rated bike racks. If you can tell me more about what you need to carry in the comments below I would be happy to make a recommendation.
