    Just don't....as has been pointed out.
    If you don't want them in the bed of the truck, get a mount that goes over the trailer tongue, instead.
    Also note that the majority of racks explicitly warn that they are never to be used on an RV. Swagman, Yakima, and a handful of others have specific RV rated models.

    We tow our 17MKE with a Cayenne S, so bikes will be tucked away inside until getting a receiver welded surely to the trailer frame. We carry them inside the Cayenne for longer trips even without towing. A rack on the tongue adds a lot of wind resistance, exposes the bikes to flying debris, and adds tongue weight (we’re at 12% now), so we’ll stick with our trusty Thule T2 rack. It’s built like a tank and also bolts tightly into receivers with a wobble-free joint. Our bikes are all light, carbon frame models (the rack weighs as much as both bikes). I suspect the risky setup is a sloppy receiver joint combined with heavy bikes on a light duty rack.

    Honestly, I have researched the options and I'm having a hitch receiver added to the front of the truck... Much cheaper and secure.
