This convenient rack carries 2 bikes on your RV and provides clearance for a spare tire. Its sturdy steel construction has a black powder coat for corrosion resistance.
Anti-Sway Cradles
The anti-sway cradles rotate and slide along the dual arms to perfectly position your bicycles, reducing the need for a bike adapter bar. The cradles include durable rubber straps to hold your bikes firmly in place on the rack. Because the cradles secure each bike at three places (twice along the top tube and once along the seat post or down tube), rocking back and forth is virtually eliminated, preventing bike-to-bike contact.
Removable Pins
Removing one pin on each side of the rack allows easy access to the spare tire by removing the upright bars from the base of the rack.
U-Bolts
The rack installs on your RV with U-bolts that are designed to clamp around a 4" to 4-1/2" continuous welded square bumper.

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.

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.

Very well made easy to install. And works great for our 2 bikes. Very secure using straps provided with a couple additional small ratchet straps sold separately.

I dont use it a lot but have used it a few times putting 2 bicycles on it. And it held up great on the back of my pop up camper.
by: Benjamin10/20/2018
So far - first trip out - we love it. Or bikes are a little different in design so it took some creativity to get them positioned on the carrier. The shape of the frame rests on the bike rack made this pretty easy, though. Definitely a plus.
Bike on!

Good product, well made. Took me less than an hour to install. Have a small travel trailer, just me and my wife. We are both retired. Wanted to take bikes with us when we travel.Don't have a lot of room on the rear bumper so this was the best product for my needs. Pictures of the finished job included.

Great price for a very good product.
by: Lisa09/22/2020
This bike rack was a perfect fit on the bumper of our RV! It sits just outside our spare tire and is very sturdy and solid. Can’t wait to take our bikes on our next trip!
by: Jack 02/12/2023
This bike rack exceeded our expectations. Easy to install and our bikes are secure. Last trip was from our home in Riverside county up to a campground in Pollock Pines. Not one issue.
by: Norm 12/03/2022
I just have one bike to carry on the back of my trailer and this works great for that. Fits nicely around the spare tire. I leave the bottom brackets on and when I need it, I put in the top vertical bars. My only issue is the vertical bars do not slip in very nicely (very tight fit), so I have to pound them down. Hasn't been an issue, but is a pain. It also seems to be holding up to the weather OK and only minor rust so far.
by: Carolyn M08/29/2022
We have a 2019 Imagine camper with a spare tire on the back bumper. The description of this product said it would fit on our bumper with the spare tire. We tried every way we could and the woman's bike would not fit on there even with a frame adaptor bar attached to the bike. And with two bikes on the carrier, it was pushed up against the spare tire. The product is well made and I am sorry it would not fit our need.

I am sorry that the bike rack did not meet your needs. The maximum diameter of the bike frame can be no more than one and a half inches. Customer service will be in touch.
by: William 12/03/2023
The product is exactly as advertised.
by: Michael11/16/2018
I was a bit disappointed in this product. I was hoping to use it to tote our bicycles south for the winter. Unfortunately the design of our bikes, both Giant brands, do not work on the rack because of the way the cross bars are configured. They do not sit well on the rack. I'm guessing you have to have bikes with a single straight bar between the seat and the handlebar post. Ours do not, especially my wife's bike.

Yes this bike rack does require the bike to have a level horizontal bar to hang from. The good news is there are bike frame adapters that will give you a level hanging surface such as part # Y02531. This yakima bike adapter bar fits most bike frames because it extends from 14 1/2 to 31 1/2 inches.

I like the basic design, but I really dislike the J hooks at the top. When you have a bike or two, hanging across the top, it is very inconvenient and time consuming to screw the bottom brace onto the metal rod of the J hook extending down.... all the way till the bike is tight. I went to a hardware store and bought 4 1 1/2 inch spacers and inserted them over the screw rod and that made it much better. It will still take 10 minutes to get the bikes off - but it's better than it was. I wouldn't mind paying more for an easier to use product.

Easy to put together. Easy to load he bikes. Product was perfect for our need.-

Viewing the installation video before installing made the installation quick and easy.
The product is well constructed.
Packaging of the product is first class.
I will order all my travel trailer accessories from ETrailer.

fixed the tight threads on the hold downs,and it works great,i still would buy it again.very nicely made.

As of right now the install was very easy to do by myself. I was very pleased with how everything fit correctly too. Looking forward to putting our bikes on it next time we go out to our campsite.
by: Michael 04/10/2020
eTrailer continues to be my 1st thought for RV needs. Selection, price, and customer service. I had selected a different rack, partially installed it, and found that it wouldn't work for my needs. eTrailer cheerfully accepted it back and exchanged it for this rack. This one has held up very well for nearly a year now and a 2000 mile road trip carrying two adult bikes. I did add a ratcheting strap from the upper part of the rack, around the spare tire, and to the bumper to minimize bouncing.

This product was delivered on time as promised and was exactly as described, with very good videos and PDF File Instructions at the etrailer website. What more could anyone ask for ???!!!

Didnt work really well for us. Not very heavy duty and tendency to get lightly warped. For light use, it probably works ok.
by: Lee04/23/2019
Unfortunately, I was not able to use the product. When attempting to move the spare tire to the center of the bumper so I could use the rack, the tire slipped out of my hand and snapped off the whole bottom of the tire carrier.
However, I just want to express how easy they made it to return the item. I live in my travel trailer full-time and have not yet been able to set up Wi-Fi, so I have not been able to use my printer. Ashley E. worked with me until I finally got the UPS label printed and successfully returned the bike rack. Ashley E. was very helpful and considerate while I was having my ‘issues’.
Will definitely do business with etrailer again.
by: Cheryl01/23/2019
This bike rack works great on our fifth wheel. It was very easy to install and is not a real heavy product. We are limited to 135 lbs. on our rear bumper. This rack is just under 25 lbs. so we were able to mount 2 bikes on it and still be under our limits.
As always, etrailer delivery is fast. We love the videos they post of their products that we can review before we buy.
by: Don 05/26/2020
just put it on the camper today 5-26-20,seems like a well built product. Fits two bikes nicely and well padded. will be going over the road for a couple of weeks and I think the rack will do fine holding bikes.Product is just what I wanted not too big and not too small and built well.Would recommend purchase good price and great seller fast shipping.
by: Al10/06/2013
Frame hardware mounted easily. Configuration is what I needed. However, means to hold bikes to rack is intolerable. What is used is lock nuts encased in a knob. Understand the reasoning, but the threads are over 2 inches long. It takes forever to lock on a bike. Also, one knob broke off on first use. Bike attachment method needs re-work.
by: Jim Hand11/22/2013
Ordering equipment sight unseen is a bit risky, but it's always a pleasure when the goods arrive as promised and the quality turns out to be better than expected. The around-the-spare-tire bike rack is a simple design and installation is a breeze. It seems sturdy enough, but we'll have to wait for some better weather to give it the first road test. All-in-all I'm very pleased with purchase, and the customer service provided by the folks at etrailer.com was excellent as usual.
by: Catherine 12/28/2019
We tried both the basic model and the improved model of this bike rack and the improved model is much better. Don’t waste your money on the cheaper model. The metal hooks are difficult to use, the vinyl coating pulls off and then your bike is being rubbed by metal. The rubber strap fasteners are much better. However, the round holes on the strap are really hard to get over the oblong male part. My husband has to help me. Not a Thule, but close.

See what our Experts say about this Swagman RV and Camper Bike Racks
- Could Two of the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Racks Fit on RV BumperYes, you could install two of the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 on the rear bumper of an RV as long as there was clearance for both racks and spare to fit next to each other. From a capacity point of view you'd be fine.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Options for the Back of a Motorhome that is Flat Towing a VehicleDo you have a ladder rack at the back of your motorhome? If so, you could use a Ladder Bike Rack part # LA-102. If you have a 4 inch bumper that is continuously welded you could use a bumper mounted bike rack like part # S80501. Using a dual hitch adapter wouldn't be ideal since you are currently using an 8 inch drop adapter and none of the dual hitch adapters have that much drop.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Rrecommendation for Coleman Lantern 17FQAs long as the 4-inch bumper you have on your Coleman Lantern 17FQ is fully boxed on all sides and is connected directly to the frame of the camper you should be fine, but you'd want to check with Coleman to see if they have a hitch capacity for the vehicle. If so, then the Ultra Fab bumper hitch part # UF35-946402 would be a great option for a bike rack. You'll need a bike rack confirmed for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a camper though. For that we have the Swagman E-Spec...

- Will Bumper Mounted Bike Rack Damage 5th Wheel BumperIf the bumper the carrier is attached to is a continuously welded (not spot welded) steel (not aluminum) bumper and the 70 lb weight capacity (35 lbs per bike) is adhered to like our product description states, the rack will not damage the bumper. If the rack is attached to an aluminum, plastic or steel bumper that is not fully welded all the way across, the weight of the rack and the bikes can damage the bumper, but if the rack is installed and used properly, there will be no worries...

view full answer... - Can Bikes be Centered on RV Bumper Bike Rack S80501 on Trailer with Off-Center Spare TireHow far off-center is the spare tire? You can push the bikes as far as they can go when on the rack to help compensate for the off-center spare but that is only going to be a few inches. I recommend going with RV bumper rack # S80605 because the 2 halves of this rack are not connected so you would be able to position the rack so that the bikes are more centered. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

If you won't be using the hitch you could remove it temporarily and the take the seats off of the bikes and that would put you right at 110 lbs. If you aren't using both of the uprights on the bike rack you could remove one to save some weight as well. Another option that would save you almost the exact amount of weight you would need would be to go with the # S80501 as it only weighs...

- Bumper-Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Coleman Travel Trailer with 4 Inch BumperWe have a couple of options for a bike rack that will install on the 4 inch square bumper at the back of your Coleman Travel Trailer. Since you mentioned that your camper has a spare tire already installed on the bumper, a great bike rack option for you is the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2-Bike Rack # S80501.

view full answer... - 4-Bike Rack for Use on Rear of Travel TrailerIt is fairly unusual for a travel trailer to have a 1-1/4-inch hitch installed; these days most trailers and RVs have a 2-inch hitch that offers more strength and a higher weight-carrying capacity. We offer 2-inch hitches made to install on RVs and trailers, both bumper-mount and frame-mount types, that are shown on the linked page. The highest weight capacity comes from a frame-mount type hitch like Curt's # 13703. This one can be bolted on or welded on to a trailer frame from 22- to...

But for a bike rack that would work better most likely you should check out the # S80501. This should fit around the spare tire mounted on your rear bumper and provide you with the ability to carry 2 bikes.

The Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 and the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 are great options for your 2016 Pacific Coachworks Northland Travel Trailer.

- Bumper Mounted Bike Rack to Clear Spare Tire on 2019 Rockwood Roo Travel TrailerThe distance from center of hitch pin hole to edge of first upright arm on the # S64663 is 10-1/2 inches. However, the distance to first wheel hoop is only 8 inches. You may still be able to use this rack as long as you can slide your spare tire to either side (Fig 1), this is what most of our customers actually do and it's worked very well. The Swagman # S64663 is designed to be used on continuously welded, 4 - 4-1/2 inch tall, steel RV bumpers. If relocating the spare tire along the...

- Spare Wheel and Tire Clearance for Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe Bike RackThe spare tire clearance for the Swagman Around the Spare Deluxe 2 Bike Rack for RV Bumpers # S80501 that you referenced is 12-3/4 inches. That means that you'd have 12-3/4 inches from the rear edge of the bumper to the vertical upright of the bike rack. That's wider than most trailer tires so you should be fine unless you have a large spare cover on the wheel. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.

I recommend the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663. This carrier will mount to your bumper and support your bikes to give you a safe transport. I recommend you also use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable for Swagman Bike Racks w/ 2" Shanks - 8-1/2' Long # S64030 to deter theft. This will allow you to easily...

- Bike Rack Solution for Rear Of RV that has Bumper Mounted Spare and LadderThere isn't anything written specifically for the # E-100 that says it can't be used with a hitch extension but I can tell you it's not really a great idea. Since you have a ladder though and a spare I have better bike rack options. We have the RV Around the Spare Bumper Bike Rack part # S80501 that attaches to your bumper and fits around a spare or we have the ladder bike rack # LA-102 which would be a really great option as well.

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This rack is designed to fit on a continuous welded steel bumper that is 4 inches to 4-1/2 inches square. Make sure to check the owners manual to be sure the bumper can be used for this application. We do have several other bike racks...

- Options to Carry 2 Bikes on a Lance 1685 Travel Trailer That Has a 1-1/4 HitchI have a few potential options for you, but we do not have any 1-1/4" bike racks that are rated for use with a travel trailer. Your first option would be to replace your 1-1/4" hitch with a 2" hitch. This can be done a couple of ways. The first would be using a frame mounted hitch like the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13702 (for frames 18" to 51" Wide) or # 13703 (for frames 22" to 72" Wide).

Not the wheel, ugh! Yeah, if it was taller, it definitely would have helped. You know, part # LA-102 is a ladder mounted bike rack that is adjustable for height. I bet if you used this, you wouldn't have that problem again.
