Travel Trailer under frame mounted bike carrier

Hello,

I am looking for a bike/cargo carrier that can be mounted under the trailer frame and slides out the from under the travel trailer rear to carry bikes or cargo. I saw one on a travel trailer, the owner said it was bought and installed by the dealership. I can not find anything like it on the internet. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to find something that mounts under the trailer and slides out when needed?

Thanks In advance for any help!

Is it possible that it was the spare tire carrier? Those are readily available everywhere.

Mine is attached to the frame, but it folds down and has the spare tire attached to it. X2 never seen a slide rack on any RV.

I found a few posts from a different RV forum, if by posting them is a violation of Forrest River Forums, Administrators, please remove this reply, as I don't want to violate your rules.

Cougar Slide-out Rear cargo tray reinforcement? - Keystone RV Forums
On this thread they discuss the rear slide out cargo tray that comes installed by the dealer, although no one has posted any pics of this slide out cargo carrier, so I am still in the dark as to where these can be purchased.

It is actually a sliding rear cargo carrier that is used to carry bikes, wood or generators. Even though other RV manufacturers have this option I still can not find any images of it is specifics!

Yeah, I have never seen any underframe carrier that stored bikes underneath.

No, the bikes are not stored underneath tge trailer, the carrier slides out from under the rear of the trailer allowing one to secure bikes or wood or a generator.
