I was talking to my buddy who owns a fab shop and we are going to modify the BackPack so that it rests three bikes on it...we will modify the deck so the wheels rest into it and install a vertical post for the bikes to rest against and we have a point to secure them...We will do it in a couple weeks and I will post a pic..
The rear bumper is not strong enough for a bike rack. Plus have you ever seen the damage a bike can do to the back wall of a TT when they bounce down the highway. You would be surprised at amount of bounce on the back end of a trailer. When you hang more weight on the bumper then it is an accident waiting to happen.

It was a thought but, have you seen the welds (globs actually) holding the bumper on if it was attached properly then it would be possible.

Actually after reviewing the situation a little closer and taking a good look at the rear bumper...we are working on a design to build a rack on the front over the propane tanks...we will see what this turns into
Not sure if this was resolved, but here is what I did and it works great! If have about $100 into it and couldn't be happier. The bikes don't move an inch, I found it was best to secure the upright bar system around the rack supports using large u-bolts that were included in the rack. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Looks good, just hope you don't leave everything on the highway somewhere. I would inspect the welds at EVERY STOP I made as long as it is on the trailer, loaded or not.
If your spare tire is mounted to the rear bumper you can use the over tire bike rack designed for rear mounted spare tires like on a Jeep, etc... It will also provide room between the bike and the rear of your rig.. just saying...
Linear Mode
