I have a 27' travel trailer. Does this item work OK for 2 bikes or does anyone have another suggestion?

I use one for 2 full size bikes. I hold them on with several bungee cords. I did have to move my spare tire holder to the front of my trailer. You just need to get the spacing right for the distance between the tires.

It works great for our two bikes. Just make sure when you strap them down, keep the handlebar from the closest one from touching the back of the trailer. Obviously the bikes must be facing opposite directions. We've been very happy with this bike rack. It's also a snap to install.

That's what this track is made for, two bikes. I have this exact rack on my Fifthwheel camper and it works great.

Bought the Swagman 2-Bike RV Bumper Rack for my 29 ft Fifth wheel and it works great. Needs a four in. bumper to mount. Very solid. Could carry more than a bike. Only problem is the inner slots are narrow. Can only fit road bike tires or 1.25 Hybrid tires. Full Mt Bike tires would have to be deflated some. Outside slot is larger and would take larger 2.25 tires. I had to mount unit upside down on bumper due to not enough room on my unit between bumper and trailer body for the way the brackets are designed to hold it to the bumper. Also I didn't use the support arm and instead supported the bikes with my roof ladder that was in the middle of the rack. Just drove to Alaska from Colo. and it was strong and steady the whole way. Good purchase.

It works fine for two break bikes. As long as the bikes are similar in size. Very stable on the road that's what I liked. Easy to assemble, can't go wrong with the price

Yes it will work fine. I use it for two bikes and just tie them together with bungee cord

I have two bicycles that i use the doggy trailer. I have no problem attaching the trailer. Having said that I have not seen your bicycle, so I can notsay if you would need a long 'spindle", I would guess that your spindle would be just fine.

I used it on a 6,000 lb camper. These are just stabilizers so it would probably be fine for any travel trailer.

I tried to install on my Trek Wahoo, 29" tires, with disk brakes. Didn't work. The issue is the disk brake prevents the trailer attachment from inserting all they way. I had to use my road bike instead.

Works great. I have a ranger with a 6ft bed. If your bikes are longer than 6 ft you maybe able to put them in rear wheel first and turn the front wheel.

If you plan to use the trailer with more than 1 bike its easier to have another hitch. Not necessary, just a matter of convenience.

Yes, it seems to. It works with both mine and my wife's mountain bikes. If you will be using it with more than one bike, make sure to buy an extra bike to trailer attachment(~$13). That way swapping the trailer from bike to bike takes no tools and virtually no time at all.

No problem! I carry my mountain bike (28" wheels) and my grand daughter's bike (20" wheels) on the back of my travel trailer and the back of my truck. I did have to play around with the spacing of the wheel carriers, the hold downs on the vertical bar and moving the bikes front to back to get the best fit. My biggest challenge was fitting the bike pedals around the spare tire on the trailer. If I was just using the rack on my truck, it would have taken 5 minutes. Rick

I only used mine with 3 bikes, but I had no problems with that. We went off road a bit too and everything was held in place swimmingly

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.

The clamp end must clamp onto a 2" hitch draw bar and make sure it's a long one. The upright tubing is 1" square tubing and I'm not sure of the weight capacity but I haul three 26" mountain bikes on mine while pulling a pop-up camper been on two 400+ mile trips with mine with no problems just have to watch my turning radius so I don't smash a bike into the camper. And if you plan on pulling a trailer I DO NOT recommend using the stabilizing straps or else you will do damage to your vehicle I only recommend using them when you don't have a trailer behind you. Hope this helps

http://www.allensportsusa.com/products/AST-HCHCheck out their site. It cost $10 plus shipping and handling. I think you might be looking for another bike hitch to attach to another bike. Good luck! Don't you love this product? Please message me back if you happen to know of a good bike and trailer lock. Tks :-)

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.

A regular ratchet strap secured from on side, up and over or around the bike frame, then down to the other side will secure multiple bikes. We use 3 or 4 straps. No issues hauling a water heater, cooler, and 2 bikes this past July from SC to PA on the back of a Suburban. On the return trip 2 bikes and cooler... no issues. Can get a better deal on one similar to this at Advance Auto or Auto Zone.

We actually took our bikes behind our rv last week and it worked fine, we added a four inch bolted on hitch receiver and had receiver on top of bumper so there's no chance of bikes hitting when going over a bump.

I have a 27' travel trailer. Had the same problem with the fit, so I had to move the spare & mount it on to the frame of the trailer right behind the hitch. Works great.

It will work. We are full-time RV'ers and I have yet to see the hitch tightener work loose. For the first time, I always feel our bikes are secure.
