Expert Reply:

Instead of a dual hitch receiver I recommend using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210. Most adapters will reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50 percent but this Curt ball mount will not.

You'll need a hitch ball for the lower portion. Choose the correct size that fits your tow dolly:

1-7/8 inch ball # 19260
2 inch ball # 63845
2-5/16 inch ball # 63847

I've also linked our selection of hitch mounted bike racks that are rated or RV use. If you let me know how many bikes you're looking to carry I can make some recommendations for you.
