Bolt two bikes to the back of your RV without hitch hardware, a rack system, or a truck bed. The Swagman 80605 clamps directly to your RV's square steel bumper and keeps your bikes road-ready for the next trailhead. When the bikes stay home, the platform doubles as a gear shelf for extra camp equipment.
A lot of RV bike carriers demand a hitch receiver you may not have, or they hang off a Class I hitch that wasn't designed for real load. The Swagman 80605 works differently: it clamps around the continuous welded square steel bumper that runs across the back of most travel trailers and motorhomes. No receiver, no drawbar, no wiring.
Tire rails keep wheels tracked and stable at highway speeds. Upright support bars prevent bikes from leaning and contacting each other during transit. Loading is straightforward -- roll the bike onto the rail, secure it, done. One important note: bikes should be of similar length so weight distributes evenly across the 25-inch carrier frames.
Clamps to 4 to 4.5 inch square, continuous welded steel bumpers. No hitch receiver needed.
Supports up to 30 lbs per bike position, 60 lbs combined. Suitable for most standard and lightweight bikes.
Accommodates several wheel and frame sizes. Upright bars add lateral support to keep bikes stable.
When bikes aren't loaded, use the corrosion-resistant steel rack to haul camp gear, chairs, or storage bins.
The 80605 is engineered specifically for continuous welded steel square bumpers measuring between 4 inches and 4.5 inches wide. This is the standard rear bumper found on a wide range of travel trailers and fifth wheels from manufacturers including Forest River, Keystone, Heartland, Coachmen, and many others.
Roll each bike onto its tire rail and position the wheel within the channel. The upright support arms brace the frame so bikes don't wobble sideways during travel. Swagman recommends using the included mounting hardware and adding your own cable lock or bungee straps for added security on longer highway runs.
The steel platform doesn't go to waste on trips when the bikes don't come along. The rack surface is sized to carry folding camp chairs, a small storage bin, or lightweight gear bags. Just secure items with straps before driving. The steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish holds up to weather exposure on the back of the rig.
The carrier slides over or clamps to the bumper using the integrated mounting system -- no drilling into the bumper is required. Installation is a one-person job in most cases. The 28 lb carrier weight means you will want a second set of hands for initial positioning if your bumper is at an awkward height. All required mounting hardware is included.
