Nice Trailer...Good Luck with it
Not knowing how your rear bumper is mounted I would say proceed with caution on the rear bumper bike rack, Do a search here and you will find hours worth of reading on weather this is a good idea or not...Do your homework
As for weather or not a rear bumper bike rack is a good idea or not I would say don't do it because of your rear slide. I also have a rear slide and we find that we open it many times while traveling, When we are stopped at a rest stop it's opened so everyone can fit inside. You also might activate it and hit the bikes and damage something.
You might want to consider a bike rack for the A frame, The Rear bed of your truck or even install a front mount hitch and mount them there.
Good luck and enjoy your TT.... Spring is 2 days away!

Definitely something to think about... I may just mount a rack there for coolers... The rear slide would open over them, although with the rear slide in, it does not block much in the unit... The fridge and bathroom are still accessible, the only thing it blocks is one couch and the dinette.
I appreciate the help and will def look into other options.
