Hello Everyone, I have a 2015 Sunset Trail 25rb, I was wondering if the bumper will hold the weight of a bike rack with 4 bikes on it, I currently have the spare tire and the grill shelf back there.

Any thought would be very helpful.

Thanks
 
I wouldn't do it unless you have gussets welded onto the existing bumper and plates welded on the side. The bumper in thin wall metal that cannot support the cantilever load that bikes / racks put onto the structure.

I have seen pictures of the bumper pulled out of the frame and bike parts all over the road. Have not seen it in person but have heard many horror stories.

If you do it , do this . Stops all bouncing.
