The best place for carrying bikes on a travel trailer like your 2018 Airstream Classic is on the A-Frame as it does not bounce as much as the back of the trailer. Due to the large propane tank cover you will need to take some measurements to determine if you will be able to use the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LC429756. This rack is capable of supporting up to 80lbs and holds the bike by their wheels. I have included an image with the measurements you so you will be able to determine if you can use this rack.
If you are unable to fit this rack on the front of your trailer you will need the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This will give you a 2" receiver on the back of your Airstream for using a Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR. This rack is rated for mounting on the back of a travel trailer and clamps the bikes in place by the frame and holds the wheels and tires in place with straps to reduce movement on the rack.
