Hitch-mount bike racks that will be used on a motorhome must be specially built and must be rated specifically for that application. The reason is that at the rear of a MH there will be greater vertical and lateral stresses applied to the rack than when it is mounted on a car's hitch. The Swagman G10 S64682 and their Chinook # S64683 are both excellent racks but only one is rated for RV use so in order to use one rack on both your Prius' 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch and on the 2-inch MH hitch you will need the Swagman Chinook 2 # S64683 you referenced. It is motorhome compatible and holds bikes up to 45 lbs each. It comes with the locks to deter theft.
