Here's my review on a swing away two bike locking hitch based bike rack that I used in the past with my camper:
New Swing away Bike rack for Behind the Camper
Matt, mine swings the bikes out and around the corner of the camper to the side. I got a new Yakima swing away for 300 bucks because only the carton was damaged. I get lucky once in awhile.
Yup, I paid $225 new at the time I bought it back in 2012, that one ironically is only about $60 more new than it was then, and its an American made bike rack, which is impressive for the price.
I still have it, and am planning to likely modify it to extend the length of the swing arm a bit to allow it to completely swing away from the rear of the camper to allow the snap-n-nap bed to extend.
I had a fabricator modify mine so both bikes would go around the corner of the camper instead of just the one. For some reason bicycling in the mountains seems easier and more fun.
