Swagman RV Bumper-Mounted 2-Bike Rack for Motorhomes and Travel Trailers

Shawna Bradley: Seems like it's well made and study. Will be using it next week. It fits on my RV 4 inch bumper but it also fits the 4.5 inch bumper as well. Should have been sold as a separate product. The u-bolts are a little big to accommodate the larger bumper.

Clay CarleyClay Carley: I specifically got this to cut up and use as a tongue-mounted bike rack on our pop-up trailer. It was already modified with a lengthened tongue and extra reinforcing underneath, so I just needed to add some tubing across the tongue and welded it up to the wheel brackets after trimming the back side to fit. Normally a motorcycle rack is there but bringing the bikes can be fun as well, and this rack did the job perfectly.

Karen Wagner: We installed these racks to the rear tie down bar for our truck camper. Instead of Carrying bikes we have put two medium storage boxes on them to carry our bar-b-que and fire wood. It works great and we are very pleased with it. My husband altered the connection by buying clamps that fit our 1 inch tie down bar.

Neal Collins: I am updating my original review because originally I thought it wouldn't work as it needed to mount on my bumper and wouldn't clear the frame of the trailer. After asking others I was told it could mount under the bumper and I put it there. It mounted great and used it on our first trip and was told the bikes didn't move at all, other than with the actual trailer move. Worked great and way nicer than dumping muddy bikes into the trailer after camping.

For people asking about the rear tire, I did mount mine there with the rear tire, I just moved the tire over to one side of the bumper and put the bike rack off to the other side, it worked great. That being said, I only have kids bikes on the back so they aren't huge, this may not work with larger bikes depending on how big they are.

WinmanWinman: Easy to install..If you want to keep your spare tire will need to modify your spare tire mount. Then the spare tire acts as a bumper for your bikes..I used bungie cords to secure the bikes and a pool noodle..The bike closest to the rv you will need to turn the handle bar so it does not hit your rv. I have included some picts showing the existing spare tire rack mount mods.

An Ol' Longtime Customer: This Swagman Rack is well made, heavy duty, but light weight with a good durable powder-coating. It was easy to install and looks nice on the back of my travel trailer. Even though I used the provided upright bar for added support, I left my spare tire rack on the bumper which allowed me to secure my two bicycles with a cable lock, providing even more support.

Frequent Buyer: No complaints on the product itself but it does not work on my Trailer due to the Trailer angling out slightly
towards the bumper. When the rack was installed and the first bike attached, the bike handlebars were touching against the trailer. This is no fault of the manufacturer but people should be aware when ordering. Unfortunately, the rack arrived the day before we left for Vacation and by the time we returned I could no longer return it to for a refund - which is highly disappointing. Buyers Please Beware of these factors when ordering this rack.

rrh: The brackets distributes the mount points across the rear bumper, Unlike the hitch type racks with a single trailer hitch slot. This hitch type slot connection can cause more shake and torque stress on thinner gauges bumpers. The downside is that the rack is not removable. I had to adjust the Left and Right racks so that my bike wheels fit into the tire slots. Again I liked this design, because the bikes were secure and bounced less than the 2 hook or single hook clamp racks. One of the racks has a vertical Extension that keeps side stress off the bike wheels, when stopping or starting. I wish both racks had the extension. I attached a 12 inch i bolt through the provided hole on the extension, So that I could strap down the bikes, I still needed to use several bungie cords to secure the bikes. The 2 hook and single hook clamp racks are a lot easier to tie down bikes. The bumper Racks are superior than bike racks attached to the RV Ladder, because it easier putting bikes on and you can position the rack in a place that the Bikes do not stick out. On my 5th wheel my water heater is located close to the RV ladder, when I used the ladder style rack, ...

Bruce F Conrad: Bike rack took not time to install and both our new bikes fit perfectly. At first I thought rack would have been better with 2 support bars but the bikes were very stable with just the one. I cut a 5 inch piece from a large pool noodle, put a slit in one side and put it on the handle bar end that rests on the RV, it works great. Still trying to get the two bike "cover" on but first trip was only a three hour ride so I tossed it in compartment. I will try again on our long trip coming up. I measured swing distance on my tow vehicle and rack allowed plenty of room even on sharp turns.Great Buy for the price!

Glenn One: So-put this on the back of our RV. It is a sturdy bike rack. Fits well and adequately supports the bikes. Seems like it will survive the flex and bumps on the back of a towed camper. Thought I would have to remove the bumper mounted spare and carry it in the tow vehicle. With a little ingenuity we designed and built a spare tire mount that fits between the two bike racks. Update 2020: It's been 6 years now and 4 cross-country trips Tennessee to Oregon and 1 cross-country that even went to Canada. Let's call it over 20,000 miles and totally satisfied with this bike rack. We have two medium weight adult trail bikes and the rack has performed without fail. I strongly recommend. Remember to check the welds on the bumper to the camper's frame. That will fail before this rack will.
