Question:

Would HLY64FR work as well

I have a great solution for you!

It's the Swagman Chinook 2, part # S64683. It can be used on motorhomes and fits 1-1/4" and 2" receivers. It can handle 2 bikes at 45 lbs. each. The threaded pin reduces sway, and it secures bikes by their frames. Also, it has the fold-up and tilt-away functions that make it very convenient. I've linked to a video review of this rack for you to look at.

If the frame-mount feature or the 45-lb limit is something you need to address, let me know and I will find a better solution for you.

With heavy bikes like yours, you will need to use the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric, part # LGA77FR. It can handle 2 bikes at 75 pounds each. It mounts to the bikes tires but with a strap, so it isn't a problem for most fenders. Keep in mind that this weighs 65 pounds. That plus your 2 bikes adds up to 185, so make sure your hitches are able to handle that tongue weight.

The Hollywood Racks RV Rider, part # HLY64FR, is definitely a good option for your application. It can handle bikes up to 80 pounds and works well on RVs. It can do what you need it to just as well as the V-Lectric. I've linked to a video review of this bike rack for you to look at.
