All that bouncing around on the back of the trailer will bend the bike rack with the potential of braking off. I have had mine on the back of the trailer for many trips, always supported with adjustable straps. I did not use the straps on one trip and when I pulled over at a rest stop I noticed the bikes were sitting at a strange angle. The bike rack receiver area was bending from the constant whipping motion on the back of the trailer from the constant bouncing, construction areas are the worst of course. If you do decide to put your bikes back there use tie straps to support those bikes and keep them from bouncing around. I do not carry mine back there any more.
