Sometimes you need to pull a trailer and still haul a bike rack or cargo carrier. This mount makes that easy with a ball platform for towing and a 2" square receiver above it for accessories. You can tow up to 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and handle 750 lbs of total tongue weight while keeping your gear in one setup instead of swapping mounts every time.
A level trailer tracks better and brakes smoother. The ball platform sits 2-1/4" lower than the top of the shank, helping you line up the coupler for even weight distribution. The 12-1/2" length from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole gives enough reach for comfortable clearance between truck and trailer.
This is a heavy steel ball mount built for everyday towing. It’s black powder coated for corrosion resistance, so road salt and weather won’t eat through it. The fixed shank fits any 2" x 2" receiver—no moving parts or levers to loosen over time—and it comes with a hitch pin and clip ready to go.
The upper receiver is perfect for mounting a bike rack, cargo carrier, or winch plate while you tow. It adds about 7-1/2" of extension from the main pin hole to the accessory receiver’s pin hole, with 3-9/16" between the top of the shank and bottom of that upper receiver. It’s rated for accessory use only, giving you extra room behind your vehicle without extra adapters or stack-on parts.
Slide it into your hitch, pin it in place, add your ball, and you’re ready to tow. No adjustments or extra tools are needed, which makes swapping trailers or accessories quick when heading out on different trips. It’s an easy way to keep towing simple and solid every time you hook up.
The receiver portion of this unit is designed for hitch-mounted accessories only. Do not use with an additional ball mount to tow a trailer. When mounting an accessory in this receiver, your hitch's tongue weight capacity will be reduced by 50 percent. When using both the ball mount and the receiver the tongue weight capacity is not affected.

Thank you for your feedback. The solution that I have would be to switch to a hitch mounted tow bar that slides into the RV receiver - making sure that the brand matches base plate - and then you could use a hitch adapter like part # RM-077-6. You would also want to make sure that the tow bar was as level as possible.

A year later, still functioning as designed. I found my hitch pin hole to be slightly off but was able to make it fit. Still hauling the boat and carrier.

how many bikes does your bike rack hold? and, have you noticed any problems with turning sharp corners and your bikes coming into contact with your tent trailer?

It appears that other comments say that in order to remove the car dolly from the ball, you have to remove the bike carrier. This seems to make the whole thing not very good. You do not mention this problem. It appears from the comments, the problem relates to the lack of space between the two receivers

A very valid issue. It can be done, but you will have to measure carefully to see if this piece will work with your set up. The measurement is 3 and 9 sixteenths of an inch from the top of shank to bottom of the accessory receiver. I recommend getting a bike rack with a rise as this will be the best option for you.

I often dolly tow our vehicle behind our motorhome, but I cannot attach or detach the dolly from the ball mount without removing the bike rack mount receiver first, due to the height and the ball mount . I cannot release the tongue trailer coupler lever. Too tight of clearance. I wish the ball drop was at least 6 inches. This would allow for the dolly tongue trailer coupler lever to come all the way up without contacting the bottom of the bike rack or spare tire carrier receiver.

I still use this and love the ability to take both my camper and bikes this way.

Does this not work due to the turning problem with the bikes coming in contact with the trailer or propane tank? I was thinking of getting this but not if that is the problem.

I actually was never able to use it. It was bought to use with my car dolly and bike rack. It turned out the car dolly hitch was in the way of the bike receptor. So I have a brand new, never used receptor.

The GTW of this ball mount is 7500 lbs. We will need to know what your vehicles GTW is, and we will also need to know the measurement from the ground to the bottom of the hitch receiver. Once we have this information, we should be able to better assist you.
