A great solution for anyone wanting to transport bikes while towing a travel trailer or 5th are the Arvika Bike Rack Systems which mount at the front of the trailer, keep the weight where it belongs forward of the axles, and where bikes can be seen from the tow vehicle ... but it not inexpensive.
My much cheaper solution was my own bike rack built with scrap plywood in my workshop that allowed me to carry 4 bikes in the back of our Silverado along with anything else - water containers, firewood, under awning ground mat, etc. "Cheap" for sure and the bikes didn't move in the slightest. :B
When we later switched the Silverado for an Avalanche I could just as easily carry a couple of adult bikes in the trailer by simply leaning them against the queen bed ... again, never shifted in the slightest.
