Don’t. Bumper aren’t made to handle that load.

I installed this earlier this summer. Pros: Made well, sturdy and holds the bikes tightly. Con: Loading the bike closest to the trailer can be tricky.

Pros - none
Cons - you can easily rip the bumper off the trailer.
You really need to install a welded on receiver hitch for the rack, or use one like linked to above.
Do a thread search on bikes or bike racks. Lots of posts about it.
Be aware there are very, very few bike racks rated for RV use. Swagman has a few, and Yakima has one.2017 Imagine 2670MK
