The Swagman XC2 is an excellent rack. It is a platform type so it's easy to load and holds the bikes and wheels securely. I've used one for years on two different campers. Caution! There are two different versions: The XC2 and the Traveler XC2. The latter is only for 2" receivers. The XC2 fits the 1.25" receiver.

I have the same bike rack as Jet - great for 2 bikes.  Easily adapts from 1 1/4 inch to 2 inch receiver.

I removed my spare tire, installed it under my trailer, adapted a normal folding bike rack to the tire rack.  Two bikes weigh less then the tire dose. The rack can be removed easily and be installed on my TV for day trips.

I bought the Swagman XC2. I think for the money it is an excellent bike rack. It will work with a 1 1/4 inch or 2 inch receiver. I saw that it is on sale on Amazon for $113 which is a great price for this rack.

I am using the Highlander Sportwing which I am told is the same as the one sold by Forest River. It is
mounted to the receiver for the spare tire carrier and transfers to the receiver on my TV when the R-Pod is parked. I use 2 additional bungee cords secured to the corners of the R-Pod bumper to minimize movement.
