Default Cargo rack/bike rack

Anybody use a cargo rack and/or a bike rack on the back of their Trailmanor? I've got a 2020 2720QB. I'm pretty sure it's rated at 100lbs or so. We just got two adult bikes and a kid's bike, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to haul them. My truck bed is typically full with the tote I keep my chocks/water hose/other setup and tear down stuff, a stroller, coolers, etc. (I have a short bed Toyota Tacoma, btw). I don't think I can fit all of that in the bed.

So I've thought about getting a bike rack for the back, but I've read some concerning stories about bikes falling off. So I thought maybe a better idea would be to move the tote with the setup/tear down gear onto a cargo rack on the rear TM hitch? Anybody have any experience doing something like that?

I've used this bike rack behind the trailer on hitch mount since 2019 with no issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1
A previous rack did not elevate the bikes and we did have issues with the bike tires hitting the ground, and we did lose a bike on a bumpy dirt road.
