If your Alpine has a hitch receiver welded to the main trailer frame rails then that bike rack should work perfectly. If the bike rack receiver mounts to the "bumper" (as shown in one photo of this rack on Amazon) then you may be in the same situation I am. I am finding while the bike rack is RV/Fifth Wheel approved,the trailer (bumper) is not approved for the weight of my spare tire and a bike rack.
The other thread "Bike Rack" has some good discussion on this and one individual (on another thread that I can not remember the name of) showed his home made receiver he made for the front of the trailer on the king pin box. And he claimed it had no interference with his turning radius.
You may come out ahead on this deal with the welded hitch previously mentioned or a chance to save your money and get it right the first time.
For me,I am already into this with the bike rack (purchased and mounted to "bumper") so I am playing catch up on the correct and safest installation.
Since I do not yet have a camera on the back of my trailer,I do not want to be unknowingly dragging a heap of metal with 2 bikes and a spare tire that may or may not want to stay for the ride.
Just some insight.
