If your RV Bumper is welded to the frame and has support under bumper tube then yes! If your bumper is welded to the end of your frame with nothing under it than No! I use this on my 2014 Rockwood 2910T With 4 bikes and Have No Problems! Do Not Over Tighten!!!

Unless bumper is reinforced Do Not use this. I did the same thing and after first trip I noticed bumper was parallelogram shape and welds cracked. Lucky I made it home. My solution was to remove bumper and replace with thicker walled 4in OD bumper. My waste lines no longer fit, but I just zip tied 4in white pvc pipe to top of bumper. No problems any more.

most definately, will hold as many bikes as you can put on.I install the one that is rated a 2500 pounds and I pull a ATV behind my camper... I reinforced my 4" bumper with some angle iron, just to be extra careful.you wont have to do that if your just hauling bicycles.make sure you pick the right one... they come with 2" and 4" receivers

You will need to set the wheel cradles with the Allen wrench to the proper width. Once this is done you can place the bikes on the rack and secure them with 3 straps--one for each wheel and one for the U-bar. The 4-bike rack is solid. It extends just a bit, but I like that the bikes do not swing or bump into each other once they are secured on the rack.

That's interesting. I wonder why they say not to. It seems to me it would work like any other rack I've seen on the back of an RV trailer. You'll need a tow hitch to mount it on and not knowing how secure that might be I don't know if the boucing and wobble might be exaggerated at the end of a trailer and cause some danger.

I bought my rack to hold a mountain bike and a heavy bmx and it works great would deff hold 2 of either bike, and not bad for the price

Cannot say for sure, but you should have no prob if your bike has a fender/mudguard, you mount the rack to the fender holder.

I have a 33 foot fifth wheel and had a class 3 hitch welded to the frame in the back of my 5th wheel Rv and then put this bike rack on that hitch and put 2 (a men's and women's) 12 speed bikes on this bike rack and went from Rochester, New York all the way down to Pigeon Forge, TN. (Spent one week on vacation down there) and came back to Rochester, NY. And the rack proved to work great with no, and I repeat no problems. Have a nice day.

It's a good product. I had to modify my basket to make it fit though. I am not familiar with the bike trailer so I cannot say if it will work or not. You probably can make it work. Hope this helps.

We only hauled 2 bikes. Yes I think it would hold 4 but they would have to be properly placed.

I only had one bike but that wasn't the problem. I found that the bike rack wouldn't fit because of the way the trailer hitch was set up so I bought the extra hitch extension and ran that from the ball hole in my trucks bumper to clamp the bike rack onto. No problems after that. I hope that helps.

Yes it will work. And it will save wear and tear on the rack. We are full-time RV'ers and I have yet to see the hitch tightener work loose.

I have a heavy duty Thule fold down bike rack and carry 80 pounds of bikes with no problem on the back of my RV, so I imagine that a spare tire holder would be a piece of cake.

No way! The weight is no problem. Properly installed it will hold your bike just fine. The rack is very heavy and well made. It does however depend on the additional supports being welded to the frame on either side . The setup is very critical. The side supports must be welded in the same plane as the main hitch. If not it will bind and not slide in and out. I took mine to a welding and machine shop that I trust. It took a whole day to get it exactly right. Cost was about $500 but with the additional supports it was rock solid. John S.

the 4-place bike unit requires a 2" receiver. as long as you have, you should be ok. Great bike Rack for the price.

It will not hold five full size bikes...and your kids bikes need to be pretty small to get five bikes on the rack.

The bike racks are not vehicle specific but must clip on to 2" ball mount. If you have 1 1/4" ball mount you will need an 18029, 18030, 18033, or 18034 bike rack. Thank you, Tropic Trailer

I like this bike rack. I don't think it would work well for three bikes. Our two just fit. Once secured, I haven't any problem's with it loosening

With the extra extension bar it will work. If you are putting 2 bikes on it, the handlebars will be in the other bikes spokes. Be careful so you don't ruin your bikes. I would recommend a Ridgeback 4 if you plan to put more than one bike on at a time.
