Nice job. Bikes seem a bit high though could you shorten the upright and lower them some. If it were lower bikes would be easier to load and unload. Your bikes appear to be are too far above tanks.

Arvika Bike racks
I am 6 feet tall and I load and unload them standing flat footed on the ground. I lower the electric tongue jack down after I unhook, unload the bikes, and then level the camper. When it's time to load up, lower the tongue jack, easily load them up, and then lift the tongue jack. I also have the benefit of standing on the tailgate if I ever needed to reach something, but I've yet to ever need to. I have an unobstructed turning radius, which was very important to me. I didn't want to have to worry every time I backed up whether the truck bed would hit a bike tire if I turned too sharp. Or if I ever buy a bigger bike, I don't have to worry if it will clear. The instructions for the carrier you linked to specify that your turning radius will be reduced and that is with only 2 bikes.
