No, bike racks should not be installed on the rear hitch of a travel trailer. This setup is neither stable nor safe. Hitch-mounted bike rack manufacturers advise against it, as it may damage both the rack and your bikes.

For optimal stability and to prevent damage, we recommend installing the bike racks on the A-frame of a trailer.

Arvika offers a horn hitch adapter that allows you to use the same bike rack frame on your trailer and your car’s hitch. With our wide selection of mounting brackets, you can easily meet all your installation needs.

Arvika's bike rack frames are fully compatible with all our adapters, ensuring seamless versatility for both trailer and car use.

Arvika bike racks are designed to provide easy access to the propane tanks. By loosening the two front support arms, the rack folds up on itself, making it effortless to reach the propane tanks.
