The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters like part # RM-077-10 or any of the other adapters I have attached for you in the link below can be flipped so that raised receiver tube is on the bottom with the tow bar or so that the raised receiver tube is on the top for the bike rack. It does not matter which so long as you have the tow bar on the lowermost receiver tube and the bike rack on the uppermost receiver tube.

Please note, you will want the connection point for the tow bar (center of receiver tube) to be within 3" from the center of the base plate kit so make sure to take that into consideration as well when choosing a Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter.

The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters at one point in time were indeed not designed to be inverted or flipped. That said, this has since been proven to be not the case whether they have performed more testing or redesigned it. I called Roadmsster for you just to be sure that was still the case and confirmed, the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter can be inverted or flipped.
