• 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...

  The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8 has a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs but the tongue weight is limited to 400 lbs.

• 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...

You will be able to insert your tow bar in the lower receiver and a Bike Rack # HLY64FR in the upper receiver.

• 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...

The right one just depends on the amount of rise or drop you need.

• Can a Cargo Carrier Be Used While Also Flat Towing?
  As long as you RV Bumper is rated to carry the weight of one of the Cargo Carriers # e99050, # e99049 or # e96ZR and the receiver sits far enough below your bumper for your tow bar there is no reason you would not be able to use them together. Another option which is very popular is using a Dual Hitch # RM-077-8 with a hitch mounted Cargo Carrier # C18152. There are several different height and separation sizes available depending on the height you need your tow bar to sit. If you can...

• Dual Hitch Adapter for Use with Thule T2 Bike Rack and Blue Ox Tow Bar
  I would use a dual hitch adapter like the Roadmaster part # RM-077-8 even if your current setup is mostly level without a high low adapter. I'd run the adapter in the rise position so that the bike is 8 inches above the tow bar so that you'd have plenty of clearance between the rack and tow bar to prevent any clearance issues. If you are already using a high low adapter let me know how much rise/drop it has so I can pick out a dual hitch adapter with the same amount of rise/drop.

• Recommended RV E-Bike Rack for Class C Motorhome
  I was saying the exact same thing just a couple years ago! Fortunately, there are actually a couple RV E-bike racks that came out recently to answer this demand. First, I'll address the hitch adapter. While there are hitch adapters like the # RM-077-8 that gives you an 8" drop, this reduces the capacity of your hitch (not your bike rack) by half. So if your hitch has a capacity of 350 lbs and you use an adapter, then you're down to 175 lbs. That's still enough for 120 lbs of bikes plus...

• Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter For Tow Dolly And Bike Rack
  We do have a dual hitch receiver adapter that will allow you to use your tow dolly while also carrying your bike rack. The only thing you need to know is the amount of rise or drop you'll need, which will allow you to choose the right one. To determine this, just measure from the ground to the top of your motorhome's receiver, and then measure from the ground to the bottom of your dolly's coupler, and the difference you get is the rise or drop you'll require. If your motorhome's hitch...

• Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter for Newmar Baystar Towing 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  Thank you for providing those helpful measurements. With the 8" difference I would go ahead and choose the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2 " or 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8 over the # RM-077-6. Loading it won't make much of a difference on the height. Also, the flat towed vehicle adds no tongue weight so really there should be no sag at all. Even if you did somehow drop 2" after loading your motorhome you would still be in the safe zone, which is +/- 3" from level. If you want to...

• Towing Capacity With Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter - Boat And Four Bike Rack
  I understand why someone would want to take their camper, boat, and four bikes RV'ing simultaneously! It sounds like quite the adventure! Let's talk about how it might be possible to make this work. You are correct that if the loaded bike rack is 300 lbs. and your tongue weight capacity is only 500 lbs., you only have another 200 lbs. to play with. It appears that your boat's tongue weight is not known to you. Typically this number is going to be 10-15% of its gross trailer weight, in...

• Hitch Adapter Added To Dual Hitch For More Clearance

• Flat Towing Jeep and Carrying 300 Pound Motorcycle Behind RV
  We do have dual hitch receivers available that feature the kind of tongue weight capacity that should support both the weight from your flat towed Jeep and motorcycle, such as with the Roadmaster # RM-077-6 that has a 400 pound tongue weight limit. As long as the combined tongue weight of your Jeep and motorcycle (be sure to include the weight of the carrier itself as well) falls under this limit then the adapter will be up to the task. The Jeep really won't produce much tongue weight...

• Using Dual Hitch Adapter For Bike Rack and Small Travel Trailer
  You could use a dual hitch adapter like the MaxxTow # MT70070, however doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half. You'll want to take a look at the ID sticker on your hitch, and find the tongue weight rating printed there. If the tongue weight of the fully loaded travel trailer plus the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on does not exceed half the listed hitch tongue weight, then you'd be safe to use an adapter like the # MT70070. If it does exceed...

• Extending Hitch for Bike Rack on 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  There are many bike racks compatible with the 4 inch recessed hitch. You will just want to find one with a long shank. Each bike rack we carry will have the measurement from the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack so you can confirm fit. For example, the RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount # RKY10004 measures 11 inches when carrying and 6-1/4 inches when folded close to the vehicle. Using a hitch extender will reduce the hitch capacity...

• eBike Rack and Dual Hitch Adapter Recommendation For Carrying Bikes While Flat Towing Vehicle
  For the bike rack, you cannot go wrong with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2, part # HLY74FR. The rack can handle two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs apiece with tires up to 5 inches wide, so it'll work on standard or fat bikes. The rack includes keyed alike hitch, cable and retaining hook locks for theft deterrence. The rack is designed for use on a motorhome, but SHOULD NOT be used on a towed camper or vehicle. The Thule # TH92BJ Doubletrack is a great bike rack, but it isn't rated for...
