Can Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack be Used on a 5th Wheel Trailer  

Question:

I dont know why this rack will not work on fifth wheels. It appears it will work for my 2006 Honda Accord Class I and my 2015 Ford F350 dually Class V. So why wont it work for my 2019 DRV Mobile Suits 38RSSA fifth wheel with a 2 inch Class III receiver?

Although the Thule Doubletrack # TH990XT is compatible with your 2006 Honda Accord and your 2015 Ford F-350, travel trailers and 5th wheel trailers actually have more play at the trailer hitch due to the axle being further away from the hitch. Because of this only certain bike racks have been tested and approved for use with a 5th wheel trailer like your 2019 DRV Mobile Suites 38RSSA.

Since you are needing a bike rack that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch the only option that allows you to use the bike rack for all 3 of your applications is the Lets Go Aero BikeWing-2 # B01311; Thule hasn't rated any of their bike racks for use on a 5th wheel.

The BikeWing-2 is still an excellent bike rack that holds your bikes by their wheels. It has a weight capacity of 80 lbs (40 lbs per bike) but it only weighs 17 lbs. You can also add locks with parts # ACC3250 and # e98891 for added security.

I have attached some review videos that you can check out.
