As an avid cyclist I pondered the same thing. When we had our FW I was able to put fork mounts in the bin beneath the bedroom. It was a massive pass through and tall enough and wide enough to mount 3 bikes via forks with seat posts lowered (dropper posts helped). Out of sight and out of elements.

I'm in the same boat. I have never liked the idea of reinforcing the rear of the travel trailer bumper and using a rack because the bikes would just get hammered by road filth back there and really bounced around. I like the idea of the rack on the front of the trailer, but my preference is still always to have them inside a vehicle or trailer. I currently fit them inside the trailer wherever I can. kids smaller bikes laying down on their beds, wife's bike laying on our bed, my bike partially disassembled and wedged between a bed and wall. I often think if I had to do it all over again I would prefer the toy hauler route. just load everything into the toy hauler garage and be good.
