Bike Rack

Looking for a simple quick bike rack idea that doesn't cause me to give up the storage box I have installed in front of the propane tank bin on the tongue.
Here is what I was thinking: https://www.connorusa.com/products/1625370
I realize this would not give me access to my car when towing, but I can live with that.

I installed a Jack-it on our 400. Works well with minor modifications.

I’ve wondered about this setup, too. Thanks for asking this!

This may even be a better idea?? Less parts... less wiggles...

I really like this option... Get to use my old Thule bike rack too!  I beefed up the connections with a couple grade 8 bolts through the frame with nylon lock washers. $167 on Amazon Prime

Both of those racks look like they would work well, but I am hoping for something simpler, less tall, and easily removable because we often do not take our bikes. Does anyone see a problem using this:

Just make sure it gives you the turning radius you need and your bikes don't get pinched

We found this one to be ideal for us, it's a clamp carrier, clamps on to the receiver portion of the hitch. Works for 3 bikes, and we can take the bikes when we move in the TV without the trailer.

We are going to buy a seasucker rack for ours.

Is there a possibility of having a receiver welded to the frame at the rear of the trailer and moving the spare tire elsewhere?

No, the frame is not constructed to allow for this modification. Also, with the boomerang effect of a rear hitch, there is too great of a chance of losing your bike and or rack, as I did on my Silver Shadow Teardrop.
