• Length of Shank on the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter #RM-077-4
  
• I went out to the warehouse and measured from the center of the hitchpin hole to the back of the 4 inch rise on the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, part #RM-077-4. 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 is 15 in

• Parts Needed For Scooter Trailer That Is Not Level When Towing Behind RV
  
• Part # RM-048-4 is not to be used with any kind of trailer; they are to be used with towbars to pull vehicles behind RVs. They are not built to support the tongue weight of a trailer. Even though the part states that it can hold up to 400 pounds tongue weight and your trailer is at 325 pounds it should not be used. When towing a trailer, when the trailer hits a bump and comes back down it will be exerting more than 325 pounds of downward force on the tongue. This does not happen with a towbar sy

• Can the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Be Used to Tow a Trailer and Carry Bike On a Bike Rack
  
• The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receivers, like the # RM-077-4 that you referenced, are not designed for use with any type of trailer. They are designed for use with tow bars only. I would recommend installing a hitch on the back of your RV. If your RV has a 4 x 4 inch continuous-welded steel bumper, you could use the RV Bumper 2 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, item # S64025, along with a bike rack that is designed for use behind an RV. The Swagman XP 3 Bike Rack, item # S64910-2, would be a good choi

• Availability of Dual Hitch Adapter To Use a Tow Dolly and a Bike Rack on the Back of a Motor Home
  
• The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, part # RM-077-4, can only be used with a tow bar and bike racks. It is not designed to support the tongue weight of a trailer (or tow dolly). This adapter can be only be used with a rolling load, like when flat towing a vehicle, because there is hardly any tongue weight that is put on the adapter when towing a vehicle with 4 wheels on the ground. A tow dolly will normally have a coupler on the trailer tongue that will attach to a hitch ball on the

Check out the picture I attached that shows a tow bar and a bike rack being used with a # RM-077-4 on the back of an RV.

• High/Low Adapter with an 8 Inch Drop to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Equinox and Bike Rack Recommendation
  
• The 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.
