So after a lot of playing I think I am happy with the carrier and how it is mounted. I added an extension to bring it back a little further so I could open the door. Then made a wobble stopper out of a exhaust clamp. Did not add the second carrier closest to the door as I do not need it, when my son comes with his bike it is small enough to go in the back of the camper and if my wife ever comes we can take the trailer that has mounts on the top to carry the bikes.
Played with a lot of ideas and this seems to be the best so far.
Was concerned about the weight so weighed everything:
Bike with panniers & battery - 54.8 lbs
Bike with everything removed - 40.8 lbs
Battery only - 7.6 lbs
