Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with the dual hitch receiver.by: David08/14/2022
Exactly what I needed. Now able to add storage box and still pull tow Dolly.
by: Richard 04/29/2023
Etrailer’s customer is actually customer service. There’s real people who are there to help. Kate helped me get my order the next day after I realized I accidentally switched the billing and shipping addresses on the order form.

Still works the same as when I purchased it.
by: Kenneth03/10/2023
I contacted etrailer and spoke with Terri N. I had previously purchased on 3 separate occasions another brand of dual hitch (none from etrailer) which all bent when pulling my 2018 Jeep Wrangler behind our 2014 Fleetwood Bounder 35K Motorhome with a Hollywood bike frame carrying 2 Rad Power e-bikes. Apparently, we were using the wrong adaptor. She was VERY helpful with information, discouraging more than 1 hitch adaptor and recommended the 10,000 pound dual hitch receiver with a 2-4 in drop/rise. So far, it seems to be working fine. My only concern is that there is not enough clearance to fold up my Blue Ox tow bar while connected to the hitch. Also, the front of the Jeep bumper is VERY close to the bike rack upon turning the Motorhome.
by: Randy01/25/2024
I first went with a ridged brand that had a recall the sent me a replacement (I used the original for approximately one year with no problems)the replacement hitch bent immediately and when I contacted ridged they blamed my driving habits since receiving the roadmaster I’ve added a heavier vehicle and a very heavy spare tire rack and no problems
by: Teampez03/16/2024
Very impressed with the quality of this hitch adaptor! I have purchased many items from etrailer and never disappointed!!!
by: John O.03/31/2014
Wanted to be able to combine tow hitch and bike hitch. This required a 2" drop and a 4" rise with a 10K lb capability. Etrailer.com came thru with product, price, special free shipping, and great customer service. Ordered on Sun and received on Wed and installed on Thur and ready to go!

Excellent option to add a bicycle rack when towing. Easy to use. Well made. I highly recommend.
by: Rudy04/25/2024
Indescribable/rugged a little on the heavy side but that’s what you need to take the abuse of pulling up to 10000#s
by: Gary 10/05/2023
Item is well made and will provide more flexibility with having a bike rack hitch and towing hitch at the same time.
by: Daniel Cowell04/07/2024
Its great, showed a lot of people. Every one i showed said they want one.
by: George05/08/2023
This was a change to ensure it met the 10K tow capacity of the Roadmaster system. The bike rack and the tow system are a little close so considering another extension for the Roadmaster system to allow a little more clearance when turning.
by: Maurice B06/27/2016
Love it !
Only one I`ve found that fits my need with both upper & lower receivers having a strong tow rating.
by: John 01/17/2024
Great product, works as expected.

Thank you . Easy order. Shipped fast. Product is strong. I always get a good experience with E-Trailer.
by: John 06/03/2023
Good quality and heavy duty. Will work great being able to tow my jeep with the bike rack on top.
by: Roger 12/03/2023
Great product and well built. Easy access on their website with fast shipment.
by: Mark 06/02/2023
Exactly what I needed. Our A class motorhome sits higher than our ex-C class did and angles the toad pull line too much, thus the 4" drop. When pulling our little fishing boat we had no where for our e-bikes, thus the 2" rise. All should be perfect now. Next problem is June and first of July is completely booked with family stuff. Can't test anything until July 12th, 2023. Going fishing. Will update if a problem but I cannot forsee one.
by: Jim M.08/23/2017
Needed a drop hitch for the Falcon 2 tow bar to get within the specified 3" variance off level as specified by Roadmaster. Also, we wanted to have the second receiver for a hitch mounted bike carrier. Problems solved! Thanks etrailer!

Still performing and doing the job of bicycle hitch and hitch for the Falcon II tow bar.
by: Steve P01/27/2017
This dual hitch receiver was exactly what we needed as it allows us to pull our tow vehicle behind our RV and also carry our bike rack between the RV and the tow vehicle. The dual hitch receiver is very heavy-duty and very well constructed.

Still working great one year later!!
by: James02/16/2019
Received my 4 inch hitch adapter almost two weeks ago. Finally had the time to install and test it on my RV. The adapter fits great and the welds look very well done. The 4 inch drop along with my blue ox’s 4 inch drop are the perfect combination for my tow package. I plan to add a new bicycle carrier in the near future and this adapter was chosen with that in mind.

1 year usage and still great purchase for towing my Mini Cooper. I love the versatility of adding my bike carrier in front of the toad vice being on back of towed car.
by: Jeff01/23/2019
Our new double 10000lbs rating receiver is perfect on our class a. Now can 4wheel down tow our Honda crv and put our bike carrier on the same receiver with plenty of clearance for the sharpest of turns. Very well made nice piece of equipment. Great service and with pin purchase and receiver, free shipping.

by: Leo S.03/11/2019
Product has worked great. I use it to tow a vehicle behind my Motorhome on the lower hitch and carry two heavy electric bikes on a bike carrier on the top hitch. I have put more than 15000 miles on it so far without any issues.

Still working perfectly after more than 20K miles and more than a year on the road
by: Mr. Glamping08/23/2019
For my toad needed an extension for a 4" drop and a connection for a bike rack. No one locally had what needed. etrailer had the exact item I needed to haul my toad and bike rack on motor home for the rated capacity I needed. Quality built product. Delivered product exactly as shown on web site.

by: William04/16/2019
Reasonable shipping time on my drop hitch. The quality seems heavy and strong. Works perfectly for my needs, allows me to tow car behind coach and carry bike rack at same time. Very happy with this product and recommend purchasing from Etrailer.

- What Dual Hitch Adapter Can I Add To My Pace Arrow RV To Tow Vehicle And Haul Cargo Carrier Without knowing what your tongue weight is for your Pace Arrow RV I would not be able to tell you what exactly you can and can't tow. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 has a tongue weight up to 400 pounds, using this adapter will also reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50%. For example if your tongue weight is 500 pounds it will automatically turn into 250 pounds. If your tongue weight is still high enough after the tongue weight cut you will be able to use the cargo...
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter Recommendation that Can Tow TrailerThe Curt Dual Hitch part # D210 would be your best option. It has a ball mount platform on the bottom of it for towing a smaller trailer like you mentioned and a hitch opening up top for a hitch accessory like a ball mount. The towing capacity for the ball mount is 7,500 lbs.

- RV Bike Rack Recommendation for Use When Flat Towing VehicleAt the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use. The Swagman Dispatch part # S44FR is a great RV approved bike...

That measurement is 6-3/4 inches so it will be close, you will need to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole to the farthest out part of the bumper to determine if dual receiver will work for your towing setup. The measurement is the same to the back of the 2 inch rise opening. The overall length of this item...
view full answer... - Multipurpose Ball Mount Recommendation to Tow a Boat and Carry a ScooterI have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 that you referenced is only designed for flat towing vehicles so I cannot recommend it for you. Instead you would want the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210. This will let you tow your boat with the ball mount and then use a carrier on the top hitch opening. The unit itself has a 7,500 lb towing and 750 lb tongue weight capacity while the top receiver has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.

- How To Carry Bike Rack Between Motorhome and Towed VehicleIn order to place a bike rack between the motorhome and towed vehicle you'll want to use one of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars like part # RM-077-2 or part # RM-077-4. This will provide an extension in addition to the additional receiver tube opening. The Curt Hitch Extender part # C45795 can be used for flat-towing but like with any trailer hitch extender will reduce the weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50% or 3,500 lbs whichever is lower so it's not a...
view full answer... - Using Dual Hitch Adapter to Transport 2 e-Bikes and Tow Trailer Behind RV We do have similar adapters that might work for your application but the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-4 that you referenced cannot be used to tow a trailer. This particular unit can only be used for flat towing another vehicle. For a dual hitch adapter with the same weight capacity that can be used to tow a trailer I recommend the Malone # MPG544. This features a 4,000 pound towing capacity and a 400 pound tongue weight limit. You will need to make sure the combined tongue...
view full answer... - Recommended Solution to Be able to Carry A Bike Rack and Flat Tow A Vehicle What you can do is use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 4" Drop/Rise # RM-077-4 which will provide you with two receiver openings so you can use both a bike rack like the Swagman Original RV Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # S64152-2 and be able to flat tow your vehicle. This bike rack is compatible with up to 3 bikes weighing up to 35-lbs per for a total of 100-lbs, and is compatible with fifth wheels, travel trailers, and flat towed vehicles. If your flat towed vehicle already...
view full answer... - How To Carry Bikes and Use a Tow Bar On the Back Of An RVIn order to carry bikes on the back of an RV and still use a tow bar you'll need to look into a dual high, high-low adapter like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars part # RM-077-2. This adapter is also offered in a few other rises/drops like part # RM-077-4 and part # RM-077-6.
view full answer... - Recommended 2 Inch Dual Hitch Adapter for Flat Towing a VehicleThe Malone Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver part # MPG544 can be used to flat tow a vehicle however, this adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. It may still work for you with the reduced tongue weight capacity but I have a better solution for you. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-4 is specifically designed for flat towing applications and will not reduce the tongue weight capacity on your RV's hitch. The adapter is rated at 10,000 lbs...
view full answer... - Carrying Bikes at the Back of an RV While Towing a Car on a Tow Dolly at the Same TimeThere are a couple of hurdles to overcome in order to be able to carry bikes while using a tow dolly at the same time. First there is the drop issue. The most amount of drop from an adapter that we have is 10-1/4 inches, # RM-048-10, which will still work even if it doesn't quite get down to 12 inches. There aren't any dual receivers that you can use that will also have enough drop and work with a tow dolly. So what I propose is to use the above 10-1/4 drop adapter with a different kind...
view full answer... - Will Using Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver RM-077-4 Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity of a Trailer HitchRoadmaster dual hitch receiver # RM-077-4 would not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch when used as intended (flat towing while carrying an accessory). The tongue weight applied by a towed vehicle is minimal anyway so it is unlikely that the hitch tongue weight capacity would be exceeded anyway even if the capacity was reduced.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter with High Towing CapacityThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 is a dual hitch adapter with a 10k weight capacity. The bottom receiver should only be used for flat towing and not for use with any type of trailer. If you are looking to tow a trailer then the part # D210 would be a better option as it has a ball mount platform and a hitch opening on the top of it. It also has a 7,500 lb capacity. I attached a review video for more info. The hitch opening has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.
view full answer... - High/Low Adapter with an 8 Inch Drop to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Equinox and Bike Rack RecommendationThe dual receiver we have with the most rise or drop is # RM-077-4 that you have referenced. One of the receivers has a 4 inch drop. That is not quite enough if you need 8 inches. But there are other options. First, you do need an 8 inch drop so that is a given, use # RM-048-8. This adapter has a 10,000 pound gross towing weight capacity and 400 pound tongue weight capacity. What you can do is add a trunk mount bike rack to the 2012 Chevy Equinox. There are 2 and 3 bike carriers that...
view full answer... - Potential Interference w/Toad and Cargo Carrier when Turning Using Roadmaster Dual Hitch ReceiverWhether or not there will be interference when using a cargo carrier in the Roadmaster dual receiver # RM-077-4 depends on several factors. The size of the carrier, the length of the tow bar, the height and width of the vehicle all play a role in determining interference. If the cargo carrier has a rise in the shank that could raise it higher than the front end of the vehicle and there would be no interference. The only way to know for sure is to test it. The adapter is going to move...

This adapter will insert into the 2 inch receiver on your RV to provide two separate 2 inch receivers, the bottom of which giving you the needed 4 inch drop for your dolly. I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster just to verify that this could be used with a tow dolly. In the past they only rated...

The Roadmaster dual hitch receivers, part # RM-077-2 for a 21/4" Rise/Drop and part # RM-077-4 for a 4" Rise/Drop, were created just for this purpose. You can flat tow your vehicle with the bottom receiver and then use the top receiver for a bike rack. The top receiver for each product is rated at 400 lbs Tongue Weight (TW) so you need to be under that capacity for your bikes. Be sure to stay within the 3" safe zone (see attached picture) of...

- Recommended Solution For Carrying Bikes Between RV and Flat Towed VehicleThe bike rack you mentioned, the Curt # C18013 Clamp-On bike rack is meant to be used on a ball mount only, not on the shank of a high/low adapter. The rack hasn't been tested for that usage, so I cannot recommend it. In your situation, you'd be best off using a dual hitch receiver, like part # D-192. If you need a rise/drop, Roadmaster offers a 4 inch rise drop, part # RM-077-4 or a 2 inch rise/drop, part # RM-077-2. In the top receiver, you can use a bike rack designed to fit in a hitch...
view full answer... - Recommended Wiring And Brake Controller For 2007 Nissan PathfinderIf your trailer came with a 7-way connector it may have brakes. If that is the case then you will need a brake controller for your Pathfinder. I recommend the P2, part # 90885. This is our most popular because it is easy to install and operate. Your Pathfinder has a brake controller port under the dash and the other end simply plugs into the back of the brake controller. You then need to go to the back of the vehicle and under the back on the driver side frame rail between the axle and...

- How to Use a Hitch Mount Bike Rack While Flat Towing and Using a Blue Ox KarGard IIUnfortunatley, the Karguard II will be in the way of the bike rack installed into the top receiver of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-4. An alternative option may be to add a trailer hitch receiver on the back of your towed vehicle and install the Yakima Holdup (part # Y02443 for 2 inch hitches or # Y02445 for 1-1/4 Class II hitches) on it. If you provide me the year, make, and model of the vehicle you're towing I'm happy to recommend a hitch receiver.
view full answer... - Can the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Be Used For a Bike Rack and Cargo CarrierI do have an option for you but I cannot advise you combine two hitch adapters together like the Roadmaster Hitch Extender part # RM-071 and the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-4 as this would be very unsafe. However, if you need to carry both bikes and extra cargo I do still have an option for you. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier part # HR1450Z-85.

- Brophy Stabilizer Bracket Compatibility With Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver AdapterThe Brophy Stabilizer Bracket for 2" Hitch Receiver - Black Powder Coated Steel # RHSB will fit the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 4" Drop/Rise # RM-077-4. This will work just fine with your Fanpole and your Rhino Step Bar but you cannot tow a trailer with this adapter and it has a tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs. This max capacity may be slightly lower than your hitch tongue weight capacity if you use the adapter for other applications. You will also be limited by your vehicle...

You could use this to carry a bike rack and tow a vehicle behind a motorhome. We do have a receiver mounted Trailer Hitch Ball mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks or Cargo Carriers, part number D210. Using this ball mount with adapter you can tow a trailer and carry a bike rack as long as you stay within the tongue weight capacity and gross weight capacity of the ball mount, ball, hitch and vehicle.
