Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers
I am very satisfied with the bike rack. Instillation was simple. The package had been previously opened and was missing 2 nuts but I had them in the garage. The product stated it would not fit on a bike with less than 18” between the seat and handle bar post but I drilled 2 holes in the top cross bar and set them on an angle as allowed in the instructions and they fit my mountain bikes with a cradle of 14”. I added a web strap from the tire support post, over the tire and around the bike cross bars to eliminate any swaying which did not appear to be a problem even before the strap. My 2 mountain bikes weigh 35.5lbs each and appeared very secure for a 700 mile trip.
Terrible product as it sits too low on the bumper. I mangled a bike wheel backing up to a slight swale. The bike wheel was only six inches off the ground, the swale was seven. My bad for backing up without a spotter but the bike rack is not adjustable & therefore worthless to me.

Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs
Installation was very straightforward and the rack is very stout. I can remove the propane tank without dismantling the rack.
Unconventional Use. This was purchased not to hold bikes but as a frame to hold flag poles which were affixed to it with off the shelf hardware. The actual receiver tube will be used for a custom camp site sign identifying our family. Overall the frame exceeded our expectations for quality and functionality. I cannot comment on its originally designed use, but for what we use it for it was the perfect choice.

Swagman Straddler Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2" - 100 lbs
I was going to go with 4 stars due to frame issues but that’s on my end. After fitting I had to remove my spare tire from under the frame to position clamps. One drawback is the width of the receiver cross bar width, in order to meet the uprights has to be considered where the placement will allow on the frame. So I had to dodge the spare tire and welded battery frame bit managed to fit it. Upon reading reviews I upgraded the bar bolts to a stronger bolt and swapped out the frame nuts to locking style.
Definitely requires some assembly. Make sure the trailer is level when mounting it the first time. Works well with my pop-up trailer and I am able to mount the rack facing the trailer giving me extra room between my car and trailer. I was impressed by how strong and stable it is. Only downside, it interferes with my tongue jack on my trailer and I am unable to lock into the "stored" position for driving. I have use a tie-strap to secure the jack.

Thule Range RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches
I tried two other brands of bike racks on our Travel Trailer. They were simply too weak to handle the sway and bouncing that happens at the back of a Travel Trailer. This one is perfect. Well-built and very sturdy and it holds 4 mountain bikes for road trips of several hundred miles without any issues.
After much research trying to find a RV bike rack rated to go on a trailer, I found this one. After using it for a year, I would say it functioned average ant best. I only put 3 non-electric bikes one it, just to be safe. Unfortunately, 1500 miles into a 2200 mile trip last week, the latch that holds the arms horizontal broke and the bikes were pinched between the upright and arms. The rack is now unusable. I am very lucky not to lose any bike and cause an accident, although they did get pretty beat up before I could stop. I usual love anything I purchase at etrailer but I cannot recommend this product.

Swagman RV 4-Bike RV Bumper Mount Rack
For the few times we take bikes with us, it has worked out well. I use pool noodles over the bike frames and rack bars to keep from scratching the paint off the bikes. I spaced them for adult bikes, so the kids bikes don't sit down tight. I've just used the 1" tie ratchet straps and rubber straps to hold everything down. It can be challenging to get 4 bikes secure, but I haven't lost one yet. There really aren't any good spots to hook into, so I may modify accordingly. I would probably by them again.
Easy to mount, and four bikes fit fine. I wanted a platform rack, and I need to carry four bikes, so there are not many choices. Construction seems sturdy. Even though I tightened it fully down, it still has little play, but nothing to worry if you load it with your bikes. Just did a longer trip with four bikes on a 30ft TT, they did not move a bit. I now have to figure out a more efficient way to tie the bikes down.

It's been just over a year tha I purchased my Swagman two-bike rack for my 5th wheel. The customer service I received form "etrailer" was exemplary. I had questions about the size and my CSR actually called the manufacturer got the answer and called me back! The rack was an easy mount requiring one wrench, two hands and about ten minutes. It's sturdy, looks great and functions flaulessly! Although it isn't a suggested procedure, at 265 pounds I stand on mine to wash my back window. Of course I stand close to the bumper and not on the outter edge, but my point is, it's a very sturdy unit and is at a great price point. If you need a rack look no further than, etrailer and Swagman!
The bicycle rack mounted easily by myself without help from another person. It is very strong and holds our two bicycles just as I had hoped. I slipped a pool noodle over the upright support bar to prevent scratching the inside bicycle. The only thing I can suggest is that the product would have been better if it included the cover for the upright support pole and some strapping material to keep the bicycles solidly in place while traveling. The strapping material is not a big priority for me though because I have lots of it.

Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount
Just got our ebike loaded up on the new bike rack, look like it going to be a nice setup for our bikes. This is a replacement rack for our Thule rack we had for 7 years. The Hollywood rack is rated so we can put it behind our motor home.
We love our Hollywood RV Rider Bike Rack. We have loaded it on our 87 Jeep Wrangler, our ‘06 Lexus, and our ‘83 Pilot. It is a perfect fit on all three! We needed the extra length to clear our rear mount tire on our Jeep. It worked! We have taken our 4”fat tire e-bikes on many roads from northern Idaho to southern Arizona. The bikes travel well and sturdy on this heavy weight rack. We feel very confident that they stay in place. We are able to load our bikes in a few minutes and hit the road in no time. It is very easy to load. We recommend using the bar grip extenders (which came in the package) to compact the storage area. This rack comes with a tip mechanism to allow you to tip the bikes down to access the rear trunk or hatchback.
