Hitch works well
This hitch assembled easily and works well. The only criticism I have is that the arm which attaches to the receiver hitch on my RV could be a tad longer (1/2 inch), because as mounted the inside bicycle handlebar makes contact with the back of the RV. We solved that by making a pad for the end of the handlebar. Another solution, which we did not use, would have been to attach the included bumper mount to the back bumper. If we had used the included bumper mount, it would have given us more mounting
options for the bicycles, as well, so the problem is not with the rack, it is with the design of our RV. I would highly recommend this rack.

Well Worth The Investment
We purchased this rack specifically for the back of our travel trailer. We also purchased a
4 inch adapter but were able to return it as this rack came with the appropriate size
attachment for our bumper. It took about 15 mins. to size it to our bikes and after that it
was super simple to use. We were able to easily move it from the camper to our truck. It
was great being able to drive down the road and not have the bikes bouncing up and
down because they were hanging and strapped on. So much more secure. Wished we
had bought this the first time around and saved the hundreds on the previous rack!
Would definitely recommend.

Great Bike Rack
This bike rack is exactly what we were looking for. The other reviewers comments regarding the attaching bolts and nuts did give me a little concern when ordering. However, upon receipt I found absolutely no issues with the bolts or nuts. It may be due to the fact that they are 16mm in size and I just happened to have both deep set sockets and wrenches that are metric, and the item installed without any issues at all. I would have rated the rack at a 5 except that I feel the shaft that slides into the hitch could use about 1/2 to 1 more length for added clearance past my trailer spare. Great
product, simple to use and low to the ground which eliminates trying to lift the bicycles over your shoulders or head.

Best designed rack ever
Holds two bikes securely with minimal effort. Most of the
reviewers that did not give it 5 stars appeared to not think
that the location of a rear spare tire or ladder may affect
how good a fit it is without an extension. We have a
recumbent and a girls bike. It took me longer than 15
minutes to set it up initially, because I experimented with
every possible configuration (both bikes facing left or
right or one each way) to make sure nothing bumped my ladder
and to decide which hold down bracket should be on top.
Now, it take 5 minutes to get the rack from the shed, mount
on the back of my RV an load the 2 bikes.
My recumbent is about two inches longer than this is
designed for, but the hold down bar still holds it securely.

Using this on an RV
I did a lot of studying before I bought this bike rack.
I am using it a little different then most. I have a class A rig and mounted the bumper
mount on top of my regular hitch.
I had to buy several things to make this work.
I purchased shorter bolts and new lock nuts. I also purchased a hitch adapter to raise
the hitch above my tow bar. I have invested about $100 above the bike rack but it is all
worth it.
I can now put my bikes on the back of the RV instead of the car and that will improve fuel
mileage.

XC Hitch style bike rack
All metal - which I expect to hold up much better than the metal and plastic rack I recently sent to recycle. I'm on a long trip and after about 2,200 miles the bikes were still firmly in position showing no damage even though we had traveld some bumpy roads (the rack is
mounted at the back of a 30' fifth wheel trailer). The only improvement I'd like to see would make it easier to really lock the rack to the trailer and the bikes to the rack. I can do it, but it could be better. All in all, I'd buy it again.

Great rack, but the bar needs to be longer
I have 2 vehicles, and the extension bar is 2 inches short on both vehicles... I need to turn the bike handle to load
and not contact the trailer.The box for the bumper hitch does not indicate it includes a 4x4 bumper hitch adapter, so I bought one that I later returned

It will not work on a motor home without purchasing an extension . Camping World does not offerthe extension. We are now scrambling to find and extension so that we can tke our
bikes when we travel in our motor home. This needs to be addressed.

Q & A
Can this rack be used on a 5th wheel?
Yes, this bike rack can be used on a 5th wheel and other RV trailer types.

How does it attach to the back of a travel trailer?
I have a 30' wildwood heritage glen travel trailer 2016.
This bike rack is either attached to a 2" receiver hitch already on the travel trailer, or the included adapter is mounted to a 4"/4.5" steel bumper to create a receiver for the bike rack to attach to. Installation instructions can be downloaded <a href=http://www.swagman.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/64663Instruc.pdf>here</a>.

The center post with ratchet arms(hooks) that secure the bikes in place is 29" tall.

is there an extension available
I need about 10 inches from hitch pin to get past my spare tire, do they make an extension that is longer and fits into the receiver?
At the moment we have <a href=https://www.campingworld.com/hitch-extension-6000>SKU#55984</a> and <a href=https://www.campingworld.com/receiver-extension-18>SKU#26514</a>. If a different extension is needed, you can find them at retailers that stock automotive towing components.

will this fit in reciever around my spare
Do I need an extension to put this in my receiver hitch and fit around my spare tire?
It is recommended that the 'XC' bike rack <a href=http://www.swagman.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/64663-NEW.pdf>dimension drawing</a> be referred to verify clearance of the bike rack.

My 5er has a 1 1/4 " receiver, can I use a 1 1/4 to 2" adapter
Yes, an adapter can be used as long as the hitch receiver mounted your 5th wheel and adapter can handle the weight of the bike rack(41 lbs.) plus bikes(up to 35 lbs. per bike).
Date published: 2019-03-08
Can this be used with a bike bunk or is there a better mount to use for the bike bunk?
For clearance, upright models like <a href=https://www.campingworld.com/swagman-bike-racks-standard-3-bike-rack>#17223</a> are better suited with the bike bunk(#72004).
Date published: 2019-03-08
Do they make one to fit 4 bikes?
In a bumper mount of the same configuration, no. Instead Swagman offers a 4 bike bumper mount that is more of a cargo rack system, <a href=http://www.swagman.net/product/bumper-rack-4></a>MFG#80600</a>. And a towing model like <a href=https://www.campingworld.com/swagman-bike-racks-towing-4-bike-rack>item# 25897</a>.
