Question:
I am looking for a solution for towing my jeep jk and hauling my 300lb motorcycle behind my motorhome. I currently have a blue ox tow bar. The twin receivers you carry will they support this operation?

Expert Reply:
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 at all because it will essentially be supporting itself since all 4 wheels are on the ground. It is also a good idea to verify the tongue weight capacity of your RV's hitch just to be sure it can handle the weight as well.
If you don't already have a carrier we do have one motorcycle carrier available that is rated for use behind a motorhome with the Ultra-Fab # UF48-979033. The carrier weighs 50 pounds and has a capacity of 500 pounds.
One other thing I do recommend for this type of setup is maybe going on a couple of short test drives in a parking lot to see how everything handles. With the motorcycle between the Jeep and your RV there is going to be some reduction in turning radius so it's a good idea to get comfortable with your limitations before heading out on a trip.
