We carry the RV Bumper 2 Bike Rack for Around the Spare Tire, item # S80501, that can be used on continuous welded steel square bumpers, that are at least 4 inches and no more than 4-1/2 inches wide. If your trailer bumper is a 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuous weld steel bumper, this rack will work nicely and is designed to mount around the spare tire and carry 2 bikes.
I have included a link to all of the RV and Trailer mounted bike racks that will work on your trailer, for you to review.

On the linked page you can see three choices in a locking spare-tire-mount bike rack that will fit on your 1998 Toyota RAV4. We have both 2- and 3-bike options from Thule, SportRack and Yakima.
Both the Thule Spare Me 2 # TH963PRO and the Yakima SpareRide 2 # Y02599 feature folding arms that take up less space when you're not biking.
For features and value I recommend the Thule which is shown in the linked video on a RAV4. The rack is protected by a limited lifetime warranty and it is... view full answer...
Although we don't have a single bike rack that's designed to fit around the spare tire on a RV/motorhome, the Swagman # S80501 Around the Spare Mighty Rack would work well for you, assuming that your RV/motorhome has a continuously welded steel bumper (not an aluminum or spot welded steel bumper.) view full answer...
We do offer three sizes of replacement stems for the discontinued Yakima SpareTime Bike Carrier Y02598.
The long stem is part # 8890241 and this measures 6-1/2-inches long. The medium and short stem parts are # 8890246 and # 8890242.
Your 295/75-15 tire is just over 11-1/2-inches wide and this size will work fine with the SpareTime since it will work with tires up to 12-1/2-inches wide when you use the long stem. view full answer...
We do offer spare-tire-mount bike carriers for your 2012 Toyota RAV4 but these are limited to a 2-bike capacity due to the weight restrictions on the RAV4's spare tire mount. That attachment point simply cannot handle the weight of 3 bikes. These 2-bike carrier options can be viewed by clicking on the included link.
Generally speaking, I recommend you go with the lightest carrier that suits your bikes. Thule's Spare Me carrier # TH963PRO weighs only about 16-lbs. The linked article will... view full answer...
Neither the Thule # TH963PRO or the Yakima SpareTime # Y02599 are height adjustable. However, either rack will allow you to shift the rack a bit to the side to center the bike better on the rear of the vehicle on vehicles with off-center rear tires like your RAV4. This could move the rack enough so that the bike didn't cover the license plate.
Keep this in mind- even though a portion of the bike might block the plate a bit, the license plate will still be plenty visible. I've never received... view full answer...
Thank you for providing a photo of your Aliner's spare tire mount on its rear bumper.
Any bike rack designed for use on the rear of a camper or trailer has to be specially built to withstand the forces encountered at the rear of such vehicles. Much in the same way that the last seat in a school bus or the last car in a roller coaster gets a rougher ride than those up front, any accessory item installed at the rear of a trailer will be subjected to strong lateral and vertical forces that... view full answer...
Even though tire mounted bike racks aren't rated to be used on the rear of trailers due to the extra bouncing around they would experience, we do have a solution or two that would work for you.
Swagman's Around the Spare Deluxe Rack, part # S80501, has a two bike capacity and is specifically designed for use on a travel trailer, if the trailer has a 4 or 4-1/2 inch continuously welded steel square tube bumper. If your travel trailer has some exposed frame members on the trailer tongue,... view full answer...
For a spare-tire-mount bike carrier like the Yakima SpareRide # Y02599 there is no adapter available to convert the rack for use in either a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch hitch like the ones that are available for your 2009 GC.
But we do offer some low-cost 2-bike hitch racks that will not break the bank. The linked page displays the 2-bike hanging and platform racks that will fit into any of the hitches made for your GC. The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform rack # S64650 supports your bikes at... view full answer...
We do offer a range of bike carriers that are suitable for use on the back of a trailer and all can be seen on the provided link. We offer RV-approved racks for camper roof or hitch mounting, and also for attachment to a ladder, ball mount or to the bumper on a camper. None of these racks is designed to attach to a spare tire carrier however. The linked article will explain further.
At the back of an RV or trailer the ride quality is much rougher than that of a passenger vehicle, it takes... view full answer...
Even with a dual hitch extender like # MPG544, you would not be able to fit both a bike rack and a hitch mounted spare tire carrier into your hitch receiver. Also using a hitch extender will reduce your tongue weight capacity by half.
Instead I recommend going with a hitch mounted universal spare tire carrier # C31006. This carrier does not have a specific weight limit. As long as you can get two bolts through the mounting plate of part # C31006 you would be able to secure your spare... view full answer...
Yes, indeed! We can help you select a 2-inch hitch-mount bike rack for use on your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser with rear-mounted spare tire. We offer a range of 4-bike hitch racks that will fit the 2-inch Class III hitch on your FJ.
First, you will want to take one simple measurement of the vehicle. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear-most part of the vehicle; in your case this will likely be the spare tire cover.
The linked article illustrates how to take this measurement,... view full answer...
Yes, I see why you why you are looking for a front mount hitch, it is the perfect solution for your situation. I reached out to our contact at Draw-Tite about their option for front mount trailer hitch, # 65053. It is a confirmed fit for earlier year models of the E-Series but they replied that they do not yet have a solution for the 2022 model. My go suggestion for a situation such as yours is to recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6. Or... view full answer...
We do indeed carry the Inno Tire Hold bike rack, # INH110 for a 1-bike, # INH120 for a 2-bike, # INH142 for a 4-bike version. The racks aren't discontinued, and we can get many spare parts from Inno. This particular rack isn't capable of being added onto.
Kuat offers a wheel-mount rack, # BA22B for a 2-bike, or # BA22B-BA02B for a 4-bike. A 1 bike add on is available as part # KU97FR or a 2 bike as # BA02B. We can indeed obtain replacement parts from Kuat. view full answer...
We offer RV-approved bike racks in several types, hitch-mount, bumper-mount and ladder-mount, all of which are shown on the linked page.
If your RV has a continuously-welded bumper (not one that is only spot-welded) then you can use a bumper-mount spare tire carrier such as # UF15-954730. If you do not have a rear bumper that can support the weight of the spare tire then you might prefer a frame-mount tire carrier like # FHDSTC0101. view full answer...
Your Winnebago Era has a hitch at the rear of it so one of our RV hitch bike rack would work great. That being said we don't offer any single bike racks.
The Swagman Dispatch part # S44FR would be your best option. It is rated for RV use and will securely carry two bikes if needed.
I couldn't find any pictures of your RV with a spare mounted at the rear of it, but this rack does have 18 inches from the pin hole to the nearest wheel tray so it should clear the spare pretty easy. view full answer...
You have several options for bike carriers on your 2010 Toyota RAV4, spare-tire-mount racks like the Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO which limit you to 2-bikes (due to weight restrictions for the tire mount) or hitch mount racks which require a hitch receiver like # C13149, shown in the linked installation video. For three or more bikes you'll need to go the hitch route.
Your RAV4 could have either a 1-1/4-inch or 2-inch hitch on it (please see the linked article) so you'll want to confirm which... view full answer...
Thank you for the details about your Wrangler and for your included photo.
A rear-mounted spare tire on any vehicle can make it a challenge to find a compatible cargo or bike carrier. In your case you need a 2-inch hitch carrier that provides at least the 9-inches of clearance from the hitch in hole to clear the rear edge of your spare. We always provide this important clearance measurement on all our hitch bike racks and cargo carriers and the method to check this is shown in the linked... view full answer...
The Curt # D210 Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2-Inch Receiver is the item nearest to your requirements. This provides a 2-inch receiver on top, for use with a bike rack, and a ball mount at the bottom that will accept a ball with a 1-inch shank diameter, such as 1-7/8-inch # 19260 or 2-inch # 63845. The other adapters you referenced, Roadmaster # RM-077-4 and Curt # D-192, will not work for you since the Roadmaster cannot be used to tow a trailer and the Curt has the side-effect of cutting... view full answer...
We have bike racks that can be used at the back of a travel trailer, but the Yakima SpareRide part # Y02599 that you referenced is not one of them so I could not recommend it for your 2013 Koala travel trailer 25DS.
Check out the link I attached to see all of the racks you could use. None of them are designed to attach to a spare tire so you would need to check them all out to see which would attach to your trailer the best.
