Swagman Camper Roof Mount Bike Rack Review - Video

Question:

I would like to use one of these to add a bike rack to my 2010 Buick Enclave with a Reese Mini 350 Fleetwood WD hitch towing a 2007 Fleetwood Popup camper. I want to know what effect does this adapter have on the overall tongue weight of the Reese WD as it is extended. I realize that the bike rack and bikes will add tongue weight, the popup tongue weight, and the Reese WD weight too?? This all added up to be the combined tongue weight?

The Curt Dual 2 inch Receiver Tube Adapter, # D-192, can be used to tow a trailer with the bottom receiver while carrying a bike rack in the top receiver. However, you will not be able to use it with weight distribution.

There is another option. Since you have a pop up camper you could use the Pop Up Camper Roof Mount 4 Bike Rack - Swagman Pop-Up Mighty Rack # S80550. You install this rack right on top of your pop up camper. You will not have to worry about the tongue weight or adding an adapter. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review of this rack below.
