Swagman Bicycle Carrier TRAVELER XC2 RV Approved Hitch Mount Bike Rack, Black

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.

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 a similar Swagman rack that is not recommended for RVs (I'm not really sure why other than it does not have the bumper adapter) and costs about $50 less.

The bike hitch is solid and easy to use

We researched bike carriers thoroughly. Buying the Swagman XC2 was the result. We needed one that affixed to our fifth wheel’s bumper and Swagman’s construction accomplished that with real confidence. We loaded two rather heavy mountain bikes and drove to the park. I was concerned with bouncing and loosening of the unit. As it turned out, the carrier worked flawlessly. To be certain, I attached a light-weight strap to ensure the bikes did not become loose. I can say I have full confidence in the carrier to safely transport our bicycles. Great product, great engineering, easy to install in less than 30 minutes.

Mounted on 170" wheelbase Sprinter 3500. Very solid, no rattling, no bouncing. Be aware that on this vehicle you very much need to know that your handlebars are going to be close or hit the back door of the vehicle, and won't actually clear the door unless you use only the outer mounting bracket, if the bike is a wide-handlebar mountain bike. The inner mount might work if the bike is a narrow-handlebar roadbike, but ... actually probably not. Get the extender if you are going to use both the inner and the outer positions. It's a great 1-bike carrier on this vehicle, which was my use-case.
