• Can the Winch Mount Plate # C31010 be Used with the Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210
  Using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 to tow a motorcycle trailer and the Winch Mount Plate # C31010 to pull the motorcycle onto the trailer is a great idea! The multipurpose ball mount has a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of 7,500 lbs and a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 750 lbs. That is a combination of both the ball mount and the 2nd receiver so you will want to make sure that you stay within those weight capacities. I have attached some review videos for you to check out...

• How do I use a Bike Rack and Pull a Trailer at the same time
  We carry a very handy 2 inch ball mount for this exact application. The part is # D210. The ball mount slides and pins into your hitch and the top receiver will accept 2 inch bike racks and hold them above the ball. The Ball Mount has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the bike rack and the bikes on it as well as the trailer tongue weight cannot weigh more than 500 lbs or the tongue weight capacity of the hitch, whichever is lower. We also have a bike rack that clamps around...

• Solution for Hitch Mounted Canoe Carrier While Towing Trailer
  I recommend taking a look at the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. This is a unique ball mount that features a standard ball mount platform on the bottom and a 2 inch receiver at the top. Because of its design, this multi-purpose adapter will only reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent when the receiver portion is used by itself. Other similar adapters will reduce the hitch capacity regardless of how you use it. This unit features a 7,500 pound towing weight capacity...

• How To Tow a Trailer and Haul a Motorcycle with a 2012 Toyota RAV4
  It sounds like you are wanting to carry a motorcycle on the back of your 2012 Toyota RAV4 while also towing a trailer. If that is the case then this is a pretty tall order for your RAV4 but is possible so long as the tongue weight of the trailer, weight of the motorcycle, and weight of the motorcycle carrier do not exceed the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle which is 350 lbs if you have the towing package. In order to mount both the motorcycle carrier and ball mount, the only option...

• Bike Rack Solution for Oliver Elite II Travel Trailer
  The towing capacity restrictions of the Curt ball mount part # D210 are pretty odd but basically if you were to use it with a bike rack like the XTC # S64670 you mentioned the capacity would not be reduced. I really like the Lippert Jack-It part # LC429756 for people in your situation though as it gives you a way to carry a couple bikes above the propane tanks and does not affect the towing capacity.

• Hitch Adapter That Is Compatible With Motorcycle Carrier And Pop Up Camper
  MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver - 2" Hitches - 1-5/8" Drop - 5,000 lbs # MT70066 will allow you to use a motorcycle carrier and still give you the ability to tow. This ball mount will require a hitch ball like # 63845. I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch - 76" Long - Steel - 500 lbs # e98873 for your motorcycle. This will already max out the tongue weight of this adapter that is rated for 500 lbs. If you choose to tow as well you would be beyond...

• Hitch Adapter to Tow Trailer and use Bike Rack
  There is an option for you, though the part you asked about is not for use with trailers. Instead, I recommend the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers # D210. This will give you a ball mount for use when towing your trailer, and a receiver above it which you can use for your bike rack. You can secure it to your Sienna's hitch with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 or Pin and Clip # PC3. For a hitch ball, depending on the size...

• How to Tow Small Trailer Behind Motorhome and Carry E-Bike
  Your best solution will be a dual hitch adapter part # D210 which has a lower ball mount platform to tow your smaller trailer and then an upper hitch opening that can have a an e-bike rack inserted into it like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider for E-Bikes part # HLY84FR. This rack is also approved for use at the back of motorhomes like your 2014 Thor Chateau 23U so it will work well in that regard as well. I attached a review video for the bike rack as well as the adapter for you to check...

• Will Two 30 Inch Wide Kayaks Fit on Lower Deck of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
  I don't believe your two 30 inch wide kayaks will fit on the bottom deck of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 . I confirmed through my contact at Yakima that the width of the bottom deck is 54 inches inside to inside of the 2 inch diameter tubing that make up the frame. Because the bottom deck has a height of 21 inches, you would not be able to fit your 30 inch wide kayaks on their side, as you mentioned. You could, however, fit one on the bottom and a second or third...

• Availability of Adapter to Allow Bike Rack to Be Carried and Tow Trailer
  Sounds like you may be interested in the part # D210. This will fit your 2 inch hitch and gives you a ball mount platform down below and a hitch opening above for your bike rack. However, if you do not yet have a hitch yet, we have great news. We have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7322 that has a 2" opening and a 300-pound tongue weight capacity. With this hitch, you could use the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-bike rack # TH934XTR. I attached a video of these products...

• Can Curt Multi-Purpose Ball Mount be Used for Extra Height for Cargo Carrier on 2008 Honda Odyssey
  The Curt # D210 is designed to hold a cargo carrier in the top while towing but can also be used exactly how you are using it; to get more height. Provided that you are withing the capacity of the hitch, D210, vehicle, and carrier (whichever has the lowest tongue weight capacity) then there will be no problems. The D210 receiver portion has a capacity of 350 pounds. There should be a sticker on the hitch that lists its tongue weight capacity. The hitches we carry for the 2008 Odyssey...

• Carrying a Scooter and Carrier While Towing a Trailer Behind an RV
  The first thing to check is to make sure the scooter carrier you have is rated for use at the back of an RV. Due to the distance from the rear axle to the back of an RV (which is longer than on a passenger vehicle) there is considerably more bouncing (like being at the back of a school bus). This additional stress creates a lot of stress on the hitch and the carrier. If the carrier is rated for use at the back of an RV then what might work for you is the multipurpose ball mount, # D210....

• Dual Hitch Accessory For Carrying Bike Rack and Towing Trailer
  Instead of the MT70070 I have a much better solution that would be ideal for you. The part # D210 has a hitch opening on the top for an accessory like a bike rack and then has a ball mount platform on the bottom. Since this isn't a hitch adapter you don't end up losing hitch capacity.

• Can a High-Low Trailer Hitch Adapter # RM-048-8 be Used To Raise up a Cargo Carrier
  The Roadmaster High-Low Hitch Adapter, # RM-048-8, is only designed for tow bar applications. I do have another, more cost effective solution. You could use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, # D210. Though it is designed to tow while carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack, you can use it to just carry a cargo carrier. The rise on the receiver is not as high as the High-Low adapter, but the receiver portion has a 350 lb tongue weight.

• Height of Vertical Square Tube on RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Rack # RKY10002
  From the center of the hitch pin hole to the top of that small vertical post at the end of the shank on the RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002 there is a distance of 4-3/8 inches. I have attached an image to assist. You can use this measurement to ensure the tailgate on your Tacoma will drop all the way down with the rack attached and the platform swung away to the side. I have included a short video demonstration on this carrier that you can check out as well.

• Choosing Bike Rack to be Used While Towing a Camper
  The Dual Hitch Receivers such as part # RM-077-2 cannot be used for towing a trailer. These receivers are meant for use with a towbar carrying a rolling load and an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. We offer a Curt Ball Mount with 2 inch Receiver, part # D210, which should work for your needs. This ball mount has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, so the trailers tongue weight and the weight of the bike carrier plus the weight of the bikes cannot exceed that figure. Another...

• Recommended Trailer Mounted Bike Rack For A-Frame Trailers
  If you add a dual receiver adapter like the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 to your Toyota Tacoma, it will not only add the tongue weight, but will reduce your hitches tongue weight capacity by 50%. I recommend going with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier for A-Frame Trailers - 2"-100 lbs # CC-275 which will allow you to use your current rack, and will add that trailer tongue weight, but will not reduce your hitch's tongue weight...

• Better Clearance to Carry Trailer Hitch Mount Wheelchair Carrier on 2011 Mazda CX-7
  The issue that you are going to run into if you use Roadmaster Dual Hitch Extender # RM-077-2 is the tongue weight capacity will be reduced 50 percent. However, if you use a ball mount like # D210 you will get a 6 inch rise and 7-1/2 inch extension from the hitch pin hole to the center of receiver's hitch pin hole. Best of all with the D210 the capacity is not reduced. I have included a video review of this ball mount for you to check out.

  The Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs # D210 will work with a 3 inch receiver when you use the Curt Reducer # C45408. If you need more adjustability to tow level, then the best option is the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers for 3" Hitch - 12" Drop/Rise - 32K # 325-GH-1725 or the 9 inch drop/rise # 325-GH-1724.

• Towing While Using Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack
  There is a way for you to tow your small trailer AND use the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV, although you would not be able to do so by replacing the lower tube on the rack. Instead, what you can do is use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2" Receiver # D210. This has a ball mount that fits 2" hitches and has a receiver above it; the receiver is also 2" so it will work with the T2 Pro XTR. The ball mount can be locked to your current hitch with Hitch Lock # e98880 and for a...

• Is There A Cargo Carrier With A Receiver Tube On It To Also Tow A Boat Available
  Hey Hunter, We don't currently offer any cargo carriers that would also have a receiver tube to install a ball mount in, but we do offer hitch adapters # D210 and stacked receivers # 325-GH-414 that could be used to both haul your cargo carrier and tow your boat. Are you currently using a ball mount that has a drop or rise to tow your boat?

  While the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack # Y02443 has an anti-rattle setup you will also want to add one to the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. The Curt Anti-Rattle Kit # C69HR will fit into the hollow shank on the Multipurpose Ball Mount and allow you to eliminate that play in your receiver.

• High Capacity Dual Hitch Receiver With Capacity Greater Than 5,000lbs
  Roadmaster offers a Dual Hitch Receiver, part # RM-077-4 that has a 10,000 lb towing capacity. However, the Receiver is meant for flat towing a vehicle and carrying a hitch mounted accessory, not for towing a trailer. The top receiver has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that only 400 lbs of downward force can safely be applied to the Dual Hitch Receiver. If you're wanting to tow a trailer and carry a hitch mounted accessory at the same time, I'd recommend using the # D210...
