How to Carry Bikes on Tongue of Airstream Travel Trailer
Question:
Good evening. I am purchasing an airstream trailer and am looking for the appropriate swagman bike rack for mounting on front near propane tanks. Can you tell me which one I need. Thank you

Expert Reply:
We have two alternatives that would allow mounting a bike on your trailer tongue. The first would be the # LC429756 Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers. This rack is designed for A-Frame trailers and will fit around the powered tongue jack. The rack has a 40 lb per bike/80 lb total capacity.
Another option involves using the # CC-275 Bike Bunk along with a bike rack approved for use on an RV. The Bike Bunk has a 100 lb weight capacity, so the rack and bikes couldn't weight more than a combined 100 lbs. For a bike rack, I'd recommend the 25 lb Swagman Original, part # S64152-2 which would leave you 75 lbs of capacity for bikes.
Either option above would get the bikes lifted up above anything stored on the trailer tongue like your propane tanks.
I've linked you to product demonstration videos for the parts recommended above.
