M Beerman: I put this bike rack on a 2016 Jayco, I had no problems mounting it to the square bumper. I did have to move my spare tire mount over a bit to fit the bikes on the back without hanging over the sides. The rack is well made and fitting the wheel rests for both bikes was snap. The mounts were solid and the locking clamps did not move at all when travelling. I had to used a piece of pool noodle to make a cap for the end of my handle bar closest to the trailer as it was about 1/2" away from the back wall. It worked great, no marks on the trailer after 16 hours of driving. Rack is very solid when installed properly.

Donna Moore: Great bike rack for the back of our trailer, my husband did have to add an extension as the bikes were too close to the back of the trailer but the other reviews indicated that might happen, he actually cut and welded in an extension between the hitch and the rack. Otherwise your bike would rub a hole into the back of your unit. We also wrapped rags around the cross bars of the bikes under the clamps so as not to scratch the bikes - again read this in other reviews. The bikes hold well and sturdy.

FGL: I needed a 2-bicycle rack to fit on a travel trailer. The trailer has a 1 1/2" receiver hitch which might have worked but when I saw that the Swagman uses a bolt-on-the-bumper 4" receiver hitch and saw positive reviews I made the purchase. The bumper adapter is quite sturdy, as is the whole assembly. The inverted U-wheel retainers work easily and firmly secure the bikes in place. The screw bolt that holds the hitch bar in place, plus the two oversized set screws assure that there is absolutely no wiggle on any part of the assembly. I did discover that the handlebar rubs against the back of the trailer so I use a 6mm allen wrench to loosen and turn the handlebar out a couple of inches. It's an easy task. This could be resolved with a hitch bar that's 2" longer but that would likely result in more sway/less stability of the rack. I'm fine with it as is. I highly recommend this unit for use on an RV. I've also used it on my truck. Since the handlebars are higher than the tailgate there's no issue with rubbing on the tailgate. The price was reasonable and a heck of a lot less than many other racks on the market. Pay attention when shopping for this item, as there is...

Ron Smith: This bike rack I fitted to my RV. Assembly was easy and the only thing I needed to add was an extension bar so that the bikes could clear the ladder on the back (got that from Amazon too). Brilliant bike rack, much better than the 'hang by the crossbar' type; bikes are more stable during driving and are quick on-load/off-load. Highly recommended.

Mike Stewart: Bought this rack to go between my motorhome and my SUV. Nice and sturdy. Seems to hold the bikes well. Assembly was very easy. Putting the bikes on and off is somewhat easy. pedals seem to get in the way of the center bar going up and down. but after trying several configurations I mount my bike first and my wife's bike last due to her basket and low frame. Only downside so far is the anchor bolt to the SUV hitch is actually a bolt that I must screw into the mount. I'd planned on using a locking pin but the support is threaded so I can't do that. Not as secure from theft as a locking pin but the thief will need a 7/8" wrench to get it off. More later after I've used it for a few months.

HoLo: Easily installed on my trailer bumper. It came with the bracket for the square bumper.
The 2 mountain bikes are held on very securely as the reach from the bumper to the rack is short.
I put an extra strap around both bikes and around the bumper to doubly secure eveything.
Easy and quick to load/unload.
The only thing missing is a way to lock the bikes for security but a cable lock around the bumper works great.
There is no "wobble" with this frame so the bikes are very secure and I was not concerned about losing anything while on the highway.

Gary: I was worried about hauling our bikes 1800 miles on the back bumper of our 35' fifth wheel camper hanging from the frame or a ladder rack. I had a frame rack, but choose this one for several reasons. #1 it was RV rated, the piece that pins it top the frame is a full 2" x 2", not a smaller part with an adapter. I am sure you can buy fancier, but I found this a real value for the price and it preformed perfectly for me. Welds all looked just fine, paint is an 8 maybe, the brackets that hold the bikes easily can be locked (a feature I really appreciated) with two simple padlocks. Our bikes are Specialized (brand) Globe, I would call them "comfort bikes" three speed (like us old fogies' had or coveted when we were kids) ... a drop frame, but not exactly the old "girls bike" nor a level "boys bike", they were easy to put up there. Quite easy to put the bikes up there, they fit nicely without rubbing, etc.. I did wrap and duct tape a shop rag around the frames to protect the paint, I also likely went overboard and wrapped an electrical tie around each tire securing it to the loop they sit in. Did not use the adapter that came with it to secure to a square bumper...
