Can I install a bike rack on the back of my RV?

Hello. My family (wife, 3 young boys) did our first-ever camping trip last weekend, in our new Shamrock hybrid trailer. We left our bikes at home for this trip, but I'm wondering how the heck I'm go...

I would advise that you NOT mount any type of bike rack on your trailer bumper.

I mounted a receiver on the bumper of our 5vr for a bike rack. I added cables to minimize side to side and front to back movement. That DID NOT work! There was still enough movement to eventually crack the welds on the trailer bumper.
