• Bike Rack Compatibility with Motorhome While Flat Towing a 2015 Kia Soul
  The Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S44FR will be about 33 inches from the hitch pin hole to the farthest point of the rack. You will need to measure your tow bar to see how much actual clearance that will give you for turning clearance. This rack does have a shank rise of 6-1/4 inches, so that will possibly help with hood clearance as well. I recommend using a shank like the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 10" Drop/Rise...

  Hey Dave, thanks for getting in touch. I do have a solution for you, but the dual hitch adapters like the Roadmaster # RM-077-10 cannot be used for towing a trailer. They are for flat towing only.
