Hello Mitch,
We have a bike rack that is safe for the back of a travel trailer, but the Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel or Frame Mount # B82FR is only rated for the back of vehicles. The # B82FR is not rated for the back of a travel trailer.
The only bike racks that we have that are rated for the back of a travel trailer are the hanging style racks:
- Yakima LongHaul RV Bike Rack - 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Silver # Y02476
- Thule Range RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # TH9057
- Swagman XP RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches # S64940
Due to the bouncing behind a travel trailer, the platform style racks are not safe to use.
I personally really like the Thule Range # TH9057 over the Swagman and Yakima.
What kind of bikes do you have? Will the hanging style work for you?
