How does this mount to the trailer? I am looking for a rack to put on the straight bar tongue of a jet ski trailer and only have about 11".

It's a nice piece of equipment, but it does not work very well with all types of gas cans. (Please Note Picture) In order for your gas can to lock in to place, it must have the open handle on the backside of the can. Unfortunately for me, None of my gas cans work in this. =(

It can be mounted just about anywhere, drilling extra holes would be required for mounting on a straight bar tongue. I drilled different hole for my application as well. If screws are located under can I would recommend covering with silicone to protect can from screws rubbing. I'm very pleased with mine.

I have used this rack with a 26" Ladies Gary Fisher Wahoo 15.5in frame with a fairly low top tube. The tire racks adjust for the wheelbase and the top hooks clamp down pretty low. If the top tube is still too low, you can use a crossbar adapter like this:Swagman Bar Adapter

I believe it is the amount of trailer tongue weight. I have a 30' camper that has a GVW of 10000 lbs. I needed a 1000-1200 lb. trunnion bar. I have no trailer sway at all, great hitch.

I believe the rack is rated for a 200lb / 2,000lb (tongue / load) weight, which would equate to a 3/4" shank on the ball to fit the 3/4" hole on the rack (we ran into the same thing). If you can find a 2" ball with a 3/4" shank, that would also work; you'd just have to ensure you didn't exceed the 2,000lb towing weight on your 10' trailer. The rack / hitch combo has worked great for us...as long as we observed the shank diameter and capacities.

The 6 foot bar is a little short. The plates will not be outside the rack. I modified my 6 foot standard bar by wrapping duct tape around the bar to stop the plates from moving on the bar.

The instructions say not to, but we nave a continuous weld bumper and we bought a receiver adapter by swagman to attach the rack. We have not used it on the trailer yet but I don't see a problem. We bought the rack specifically for the trailer.

I would say about 13" on my trailer but it all depends on the size of you're trailer and how far forward or back you mount it another suggestion is if you can't lift the tung of you're trailer by hand this is not for you I put mine on a 4x8 small trailer and it is great but I wouldent suggest anything biggr

That is what I purchased this tire for! Works great my jet ski trailer. Double check the bolt pattern on your current wheel. Some trailers may be different!

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.

As is pictured, it attaches to the port (left side). I double checked to see if it could hook to the other side of the trailer/ bike and it will not. Hope that helps!

It attaches to the cross bars on a built-in rack or on most any after market roof racks. The brackets need at least 30 inches of front-to-back spacing so it will cradle the kayaks. Also need good front and rear tie downs--after market racks & tie downs can be doing on Amazon.com.

My weekend warrior has a double mounting plate but mine still hangs 5-6 in below so you should be fine and idk about your weight on the trailer mine fully loaded is about 8500 and it works great

Did you get this? I also have a 2008 Tacoma, towing a 1978 Airstream. The tongue weight of 1000lbs on this is to much I think. There are two other models of this product...one with a 750lb tongue weight and another with 550lb. I am not sure which to get. I think the Tacoma is only rated for around 600lb tongue weight and I think the 24ft trailer should fit this unless overloaded. Thoughts? I am new to towing. Also seems like a hassle to have to take it off to backup.

I have had an 8'2" on it securely. My rack is mounted on a Yamaha TW200 enduro and I have not gone over 40 miles per hour with it on the bike. It seemed fine at that speed.I plan on putting a 9'2 on there shortly.

I checked the manual and it says no accessories or equipment (racks, etc) on rear that interfer with tow bar. Looking at it on my bike I agree it would not work. The bar is just above the wheel leaving no place for a rack.
