Bike Rack between TT and TV
I want to get a bike rack for the trailer. Preferably 4 bikes, but at least 2. My TT doesn't have a hitch on the back of it or a ladder. In any case, I want more weight at the front of the trailer...

I made my own. Made the frame and used a tire holding Swagmen 2 bike rack I can take off and put in the truck receiver if we want to take the bike for a day ride somewhere beyond the CG. Don't know if you have access to doing this, maybe a welding buddy?

Heads up, my rack and 2 adults bikes added 110# to the loaded tongue weight. My camper A frame, truck and WD hitch can handle this. The bikes do ride very well on the front. 4 bikes, if you can actually fit 4, will add more. Carrying bikes with an SUV is always a problem. We had a 2500 Suburban and had the same issue. The F350 which was needed for our current camper solved the problem by allowing added TW to make the A frame rack work.
A place in Canada called Top Rails or Top Pop Rails used to make this too. A very good system. I do not know if Arivka bought them out or not. I cannot seem to find that brand any more.
Stromburg makes this https://www.strombergcarlson.com/cargo-storage-and-carriers/a-frame-cargo-management/bike-bunk-model-cc-275/
I would not use a top hanging rack, but Swagman makes rack that hold by the tires see here https://www.swagman.net/products/rv-racks/
Hope this helps
