The swagman looks like a good option but did you see the bike limit of 45lbs
each. Since you load your touring bikes (with everything but the kitchen

As long as you can swing a leg over the bike, the seattube size is
irrelevant (as has been shown by lots of modernish plastic bikes being sold
as Small, Medium, Large). It's all in the stretch from saddle to bars, so
if you think a 56cm toptube with a shorter stem will do the trick, go for
it.
