Hey Joel!

No, the Swagman Current Pro Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S65SR is not rated for use with a fifth wheel trailer. The force transferred to the rack from the camper will be too much for the rack's components to handle. Instead, I highly recommend the Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y88DJ, which is rated for fifth wheel use. The construction of this bike rack is very similar to the # S65SR, with a tilting frame, wheel platforms that will work for wheels up to 5" wide, and frame clamps for both bikes.

I really like the Yakima bike racks, and I have one myself (the # Y78QD, but that isn't rated for fifth wheel use). You'll find the rack's construction to be premium quality and it will keep your bikes protected on any trips you're planning.

What kind of bikes are you hauling, and where are you planning on riding?
