Need some Late Model Bounder Advice

I'm looking at a Bounder 33C to buy. One of my concerns is the location of the fuel fill on the rear.

Since I do not tow, I have a bicycle rack hitch mounted.
Does anybody have any experience with the hitch mount and bicycles interfering with the fuel fill?
The bike rack is a Swagman Dispatch.

Not familiar with that rack but I use a motorcycle carrier on the back of my rig. It does hinder the access some but still able to fill. On my rig the filler is in the center which I would never give up. I'm able to fill from either side of the coach which I have found to be very useful.

We had a Bounder 34J with rear fuel fill. I towed a Jeep and had the bike rack attached to the same receiver, never had a problem filling the gas tank.

I also used a bike rack attached to the ladder, hitch mount was much easier to use.

We have a two e-bike rack, not a problem filling...be mindful of covering the license plate, that might get you in trouble.
