How to Tow with Reese Outfitter Adventure Bike Rack

Question:

I have a Reese Outfitter Adventure System 4 Bike carrier. Id like to tow a small tear camper weighing 680 lbs behind the bikes. What part do you suggest to attach to the back of the bike rack to be able to tow the camper?

The Reese Outfitter Adventure bike rack is an older model of the Swagman Original 4 Bike Towing Rack # S64675. To tow with the Swagman Original you need a hitch ball with a 3/4" diameter shank like the Draw-Tite # 19256 1-7/8" hitch ball. If the trailer you're wanting to tow has a 1-7/8" coupler and the hole in the shank of your Outfitter accepts a 3/4" diameter shank then this hitch ball is what you need.

If you have something else please let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you figure out the part you're needing!
