I also don't want to scratch up the camper trying to put four bikes inside. If the 2" tube could be welded to the frame, the extra weight between the rack and bikes would be under 250 lbs tops. Thanks!
Welding a receiver to the frame and using a quality bike rack is the only way to go. Look for a welding shop who has some experience doing this type of mod on travel trailers. Cost should be in the $400/450 range. Money well spent and you get your truck bed back.
