• How to Carry Two Bikes While Flat Towing With Motorhome
  We definitely have a solution for you that will allow you to carry your two bikes though not the exact adapter you are asking about that already has a ball mount. The first option is to use a dual hitch adapter which does have the needed clearance between the top and bottom receivers, though you do need to ensure you get the one that has the correct rise or drop. For that you can use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6, 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8 or 10" Drop/Rise...

• Does the Use of a Dual Hitch Adapter Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity
  You are correct, the use of an adapter typically reduces the tongue weight capacity by 50%, but the amount can vary slightly. Since you are towing a trailer, you do not want to use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 since it is designed for flat towing. As for the other dual hitch adapters available, I checked and they all reduce capacity by 50% so that would leave you overloaded. I do, however, have a solution. I recommend using the Replacement Shank...

• Dual Hitch Adapter Needed To Flat Tow And Haul A Bike Rack At The Same Time
  Hey Gerry, Do you need a drop or rise for the receiver tube that the tow bar slots into? Most people flat towing will either go with a specific rise/drop dual receiver hitch like the Roadmaster # RM-077-6 or will use a stacked receiver like the Gen-Y # 325-GH-314. There a few variations to these so we'll really need to know where the tow bar is needing to sit to be level to determine the right adapter to give yourself enough space between the bike rack and tow bar. Let me know and I'd...

  Hey Kathryn, we have dual hitch adapters like it sounds like what you are looking for with the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6.

• How Much Does The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 Weigh
  Hey Brian, The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter with 2" or 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 weighs approximately 25.7lbs so it's pretty lightweight compared to most other adapters. Are you trying to haul your bike rack while towing your Smart fortwo? If so, the receiver tubes of this adapter are slightly rounded and won't accept a shank with sharply squared corners so you'll want to doublecheck your accessories first.

• Can the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter be Used w/ a Winch?
  No, it definitely can not handle a winch! We have encountered this question before and Roadmaster has repeatedly shot it down. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter item # RM-077-6 can only be used while flat towing and using an accessory like a cargo carrier or bike rack. Gen-Y on the other hand has a ball mount that will work great for exactly what you're wanting to do. It is the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers item # 325-GH-314. This is built for a more heavy-duty...

• Will Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Work For Flat Towing & Carrying Scooter
  Hey Brian; the answer is likely no, but it depends on the weight of the Vespa. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter with 2" or 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, so the weight of the Vespa and carrier, along with the tongue weight of your flat towed vehicle can only be 400 lbs. I assume the weight of those is going to be more than 400 lbs, but if it's not then you can use it; otherwise it would be too much weight.

• Are Small Table Lamps Available For A Motorhome Dinette Table
  Hey Todd, We offer smaller wall mounted lights like the Gustafson 12V RV LED Reading Light # 277-000334 that you could use but we don't offer small lamps that would actually sit on the table if that's what you're looking for. For a lamp that would sit on the table you would just want to pick one up from your local department store.

• Recommended E-Bike Rack for a 2020 Fleetwood Discovery Flat Towing a Chevy Colorado
  For your 2020 Fleetwood Discovery 38K I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR. This rack can be used at the rear of your Fleetwood Discovery while you flat tow, has a max capacity of 80 lbs per bike - for a total of 160 lbs, and since the # RM-077-6 you have has a tongue weight of 400 lbs you'll have plenty of capacity for everything. As far as stowing the tow bars when not in use, you're going to run into a space issue unfortunately,...

• Roadmaster Hitch Adapter for Flat towing a 2018 Jeep Rubicon and Two E-Bikes
  I recommend the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 10" Drop/Rise item # RM-077-10. This adapter was designed for this type of set up. Your Jeep Rubicon and Swagman E bike rack weigh well below the 10,000 lbs maximum capacity of this hitch. I have attached a review video as well as a picture that show this rack being utilized in the same way.

This adjustable ball mount has four 2" receiver openings that will allow you to use both a hitch mounted bike rack and tow your trailer.

• Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter be Used with a Winch
  I do have a solution for you but when I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster they did not recommend using the Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6 with a winch. Instead what I recommend using is a Gen-Y Hitch. We have part # 325-GH-313 which has a 5" rise/drop and part # 325-GH-314 which has a 7-1/2" rise/drop which you can use. These are much more heavy-duty than the adapters used for flat towing so you can definitely use it with your winch on a mounting bracket like part # BDW20011...

• Can Dual Hitch Adapter Be Used To Flat Tow Jeep and Carry Accessory In Upper Receiver?
  As long as you are not exceeding the tongue weight rating of the trailer hitch receiver or dual hitch receiver adapter, you will not have any issues adding your 150lb accessory with the adapter as is, but I do not recommend modifying the adapter in any way as that will void the warranty of the adapter. If you cannot find the tongue weight rating of your adapter you would be better off replacing it with one like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 which has...

  Yes, I do have an option for you to carry bikes with your flat-tow setup. However, since there is not a trailer hitch for your vehicle yet and you don't want to use a trunk mount or roof rack bike rack then you will have no other option but to use a dual hitch adapter and place the bikes on a hitch mounted back rack between the tow vehicle and toad.

• Which Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter For Carrying Bike Rack While Flat Towing
  Since the receiver height and the base plate height of the vehicle is the same, you won't need to worry about keeping the tow bar level. If your bike rack has an angled shank with a couple inches of rise to it, you could use the # RM-077-6. If the bike rack has a straight shank, you'll want a dual-hitch adapter with a larger rise such as # RM-077-8 for an 8-inch or # RM-077-10 for a 10-inch rise to move the bike rack up and out of the way. The adapters have a tongue weight capacity...

• Can GearDeck Cargo Carrier be While Flat Towing Vehicle with Motorhome
  You could use a dual hitch adapter like the Roadmaster part # RM-077-6 so that you could tow your vehicle in the lower hitch opening and then also carry in the upper hitch opening the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # H00604. You should note that using hitch adapters does cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent so you'd need to be aware of the reduction in weight capacity.

• Solution to Use Thule Bike Rack While Flat Towing Jeep Wrangler
  It is true that you should not use your Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV on your Jeep Wrangler when it is being flat towed. The reason is the amount of movement that far behind your motorhome results in the rack not being stable; this is also why this rack should not be used on the back of a trailer. What you can do instead is use a dual hitch receiver adapter which will allow you to both flat tow your Jeep and use your bike rack. The correct one will depend on the rise or...
