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.
by: John04/24/2023
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.
by: Dan 02/09/2024
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: 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: 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: 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.

Viewing the installation video before installing made the installation quick and easy.
The product is well constructed.
Packaging of the product is first class.

Easy to put together. Easy to load he bikes. Product was perfect for our need.-
by: DON-S04/21/2014
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.

its still the same. I still use them and do recommend them.
by: Gail06/14/2020
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.

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.
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.

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: 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: Ralph W05/11/2016
I like the over the rear tire mounting capability for my RV and the fact that it can be easily removed by pulling the two quick pins on the bottom. This allows me to fold down the hinged spare so I can access the rear storage compartment. I also like the ease of loading and securing the bikes on the rack mounting arms.

- Trailer Hitch Receiver To Carry A Bike Rack On A 2005 Jayco Jay Feather 23B CamperFor your 2005 Jayco Jay Feather 23B Camper I would use the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs, 22" to 72" Wide # 13703. This is a universal trailer hitch receiver that can fit frame widths from 22" up to 72". This has a lot of great reviews from customers using this on a Jayco Camper. It can be easily bolted onto the camper's frame or it can be professionally welded on for a permanent installation. The max tongue weight is 350lbs which you do not want to exceed. One thing...
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...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of 2005 Skyline Layton Travel TrailerI have a solution designed just for your setup, but the # TH963PRO is not rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a trailer so it would not be recommended. Instead RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack for Around the Spare Tire # S80501 would be perfect. This will attach to your bumper and fit around the spare to provide you with a bike rack that can carry two bikes.

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 the Swagman RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, # S80501 Accept a 28 Inch Diameter Trailer TireThe RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack, # S80501, mounts in such a way as it does not necessarily fit around the tire. I have included a picture that shows how it would mount to the bumper in relation to he spare tire. You can see in the picture that the upright arms of the rack are further out than the tire. You need to look at the width of the tire, not the diameter. The rack allows for 12 inches of clearance from the bumper to the upright bars of the rack for the spare tire. I have included a link...

- Options for Carrying Bikes on a 5th Wheel Trailer with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe Swagman XTC-2 Platform Style Bike Rack, # S64670, is not approved for use on RVs or trailers. At this time, there are no hitch mount bike racks with a 1-1/4 inch shank that are approved for use on RVs or trailers. We may have some options that will work for you, however, I do not recommend using a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapter when carrying a bike rack at the back of a fifth wheel trailer. The use of an adapter will decrease the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by half and...

- Recommended RV 2-Bike Rack for 2005 Dodge Durango Towing a 2015 Forest River Rockwood Minilite 2104SI can help you find a bike rack that will suit your needs for your 2005 Dodge Durango and 2015 Forest River Rockwood Minilite 2104s. I was able to look up your RV and noticed you have quite a few options when it comes to bike racks. Since you are interested in a frame mount like # CC-275, you would want to measure your frame to be sure this bike rack would have the clearance over your propane tank covers and that the brackets will fit around your frame dimension. This rack fits A-frames...

- E-Bike Rack Solution for Forest River Flagstaff 625D We have one e-bike rack that is rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a travel trailer and can handle e-bikes that weigh up to 70 lbs with the Swagman E-Spec part # S94FR. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. If your pop up does not have a hitch installed at the rear of it you could use the Curt multi fit RV hitch part # 13703 which fits standard RV frames between 22 and 72 inches apart.
view full answer... - Dolly Towing a Vehicle and Carrying Bikes at the Same Time with a MotorhomeThere are no adapters with dual receivers for 2-1/2 inch hitches that would work for this specific application. But there are other ways to carry bikes on the back of your motorhome. For example if your motorhome has a 4 to 4-1/2 square, steel, fully welded bumper you could use # S64663, # S80605, or # S80501. I have linked videos of all 3 of these bike racks for you. Another option, if your motorhome has a ladder in the back, is to use a ladder mounted rack such as # LA-102, or # SP501BR....
view full answer... - Solution to Carry 4 Bikes with Camper TrailerThere aren't a lot of RV bike racks that will hold 4 bikes that don't have hitches but I do have a solution. You can use the Around the Spare Bike Rack part # S80501 at the rear of the camper for two bikes and then the Jack It # LC429756 up front where the trailer jack mounts and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Options for Carrying 4 Bikes on a Tent CamperThere are several options for carrying 4 bikes on your tent trailer, however, determining the best option for you will depend on how your trailer is equipped. The best option would be to use a hitch mount bike rack that is approved for use on RVs and trailers. A bike rack like the Yakima LongHaul 4-Bike Rack, # Y02476, would be a good option. Whichever bike rack you choose you need to make sure it's rated to be used on the back of a trailer. There is more bounce and movement at the back...
view full answer... - Looking For Swagman Bumper Mount Bike Rack For RV With a 5 Inch Continuous Weld Custom BumperAt this time I believe the best way to carry two bikes on the back of your RV, if you have a ladder, is by using the Stromberg Carlson Carrier # LA-102. This bike rack attaches to most rung shaped ladders.(I have the rack measurements in the attached picture) The bikes are carried in the vertical position as shown in the other attached picture. It can carry 2 bikes up to 25 lbs per bike. This bike rack is an economical solution. I have the installation instructions attached. The other...

- Recommended Replcement RV StereoWe have a few stereo options that will work great for you but it will depend on whether you have a single DIN or double DIN stereo currently. If you have a single DIN, I recommend using # DV3300SBL or # 324-000032. Both of these are great options. The main difference is the Furrion is designed to play music and listen to the radio more so than watching DVDs. The Drive RV DVD player might be better if you are primarily using it to play DVDs. If you currently have a double DIN stereo,...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation to Fit Travel Trailer with Rear Mounted Spare TireI have a solution for you, but the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO is not rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a travel trailer so I would not recommend it for you. The RV Bumper Bike Rakc part # S80501 is designed to fit around the rear spare of a trailer and attach to the rear bumper. Check out the review video I attached for this rack for you as well.

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...

- How Easy is it to Remove Swagman Around-the-Spare-Tire Deluxe Bike Rack # S80501Installing and removing the Swagman Around-the-Spare-Tire Deluxe Rack, part # S80501 is a breeze. The bike rack is designed so that a spare tire can remain bolted to your rear bumper while bolting this bike rack around it. The bike rack is attached to your bumper by U bolts. Once the bike rack is on, the spare tire sits between the two uprights. To remove the spare tire, once the bike rack is bolted to the bumper, you'll remove the locking pins located on the lower section of the uprights....

Currently the only front hitch we have for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is the EcoHitch model # 306-X7352. The hitch's price reflects the fact that it is USA-made and also made from an alloy that is produced only from US-sourced recycled materials.

Take a look at the Swagman Around the Spare Mighty Rack, # S80501. This rack is designed to fit a 4 to 4-1/2 inch continuous welded square bumper and fit around the spare tire.

A different bike rack solution that you might prefer is the Swagman Around the Spare part # S80501 which would attach directly to the rear bumper and around the spare.

I assume you are asking because Forest River doesn't recommend carrying anything on their Flagstaff Ultra Lite bumpers but people have been doing so for years without issues.

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.
