• Dual Hitch Adapter For Flat Towing And Carrying A Bike Rack
  Hello Steve. I do have a good solution for you, but I cannot recommend using the Malone Adapter # MPG544. Since it is rated for towing only 4,000 lbs, your 8,000 lb towed vehicle would be double the max towing capacity. You are right about there being very little tongue weight when flat towing, but I still cannot recommend using it. Instead, I suggest you use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-6. This is a dual hitch adapter that is essentially designed specifically for...

• 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...

• Dual Hitch Receiver Compatible with Towing a Car Dolly
  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. As long as the tongue weight of your loaded tow dolly and whatever accessory you put in the top receiver is under the 400 lbs then you'll be just fine.

• Can I Carry a Bike Rack On My RV While Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind The Motorhome?
  The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-8 will allow you to carry a bike rack and flat tow your 2018 Ford Explorer behind your 2013 Georgetown RV motorhome. You will be able to insert your tow bar in the lower receiver and a Bike Rack # HLY64FR in the upper receiver. The adapter is rated for up to 400lbs of tongue weight but it will reduce your receiver capacity by 50%. So if you have a receiver rated for 500lbs of tongue weight it will be only 250lbs. The adapter weighing 27lbs...

• Which 8 Inch Rise Trailer Hitch Adapter For a 2012 Hyundai Tuscon
  I have another option but there is currently not a 7 inch rise 1 1/4 to 2 inch hitch adapter. The Highest Rise adapter we have is the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. The only other option is to change your trailer hitch receiver to the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # 75717 which is has a 2x2 receiver and is designed for your 2012 Hyundai Tuscon. With a 2x2 receiver you can use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver...

• Flat Tow Vehicle While Also Using Bike Carrier
  Yes, this is exactly what the MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches, # MT70070 is intended for. However, keep in mind that per manufacturer this reduces your hitch rating by 50%. The extender has a weight rating of 400 lbs. tongue weight and gross trailer weight rating of 4,000 lbs. so please compare this to the vehicle you are flat towing. While the # MT70070 is designed to allow you to add an accessory such as a bike rack and use the tow bar, you cannot use an additional...

• How Much Does the Roadmaster RM-077-8 and RM-048-8 Weigh?
  As the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-8 has a solid shank for added capacity, it does weight right at 28 pounds. I had the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-048-8 measured as well. From center of one pin hole to the center of the other is actually 10 1/2 inches, which I am having added to the product page. This is also a little lighter than the # RM-077-8 at 23 pounds. It should also be noted, however, that this is not designed to be used for towing a trailer. Both of these are...

• Dual Adapter For Flat Towing & Carrying Bike Rack
  While there isn't an adjustable option, there are dual hitch adapters for flat towing that allow you to tow your vehicle and carry a bike rack at the same time.

• Vehicle Protector Compatible With Dual Hitch Adapter & Blue Ox Tow Bar
  We have an option for you, though the way the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 installs onto the receiver means it isn't going to be compatible with a dual-hitch adapter. Instead, what you can use that will work with a dual-hitch adapter and your Blue Ox tow bar is a Blue Ox protective guard: - Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870 This will do a superb job of keeping your towed vehicle safe, and because it mounts on your Blue Ox tow bar (on all tow bars...

• Dual Receiver Recommendation for Towing Car and Using Bike Rack Simultaneously
  The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8 does have the 2 inch receiver like a Class III hitch on both openings but the Roadmaster adapters have a rounded shape to the inside of them to help be a tighter fit on accessories and the shank of your Swagman bike rack, # S64663, is extremely square and won't fit into Roadmaster adapters. Instead you can use the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise - 10K # 325-GH-303 or 7-1/2" #...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• How To Carry Bikes While Flat-Towing a Chevy Sonic Sedan
  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. For this, we have a few options for you depending on your rise/drop needs. In order to determine what your rise/drop needs are we will want...

• 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.
