Question:

Hi, I have a jeep wrangler that I tow behind a motorhome. Can I use the kuat pivot with the hollywood racks rv rider to carry my two e-bikes? One bike is about 65 pounds, the other is about 50 pounds. Thanks!

I've reached out to the manufacturer and asked about your specific situation for you. I've found that even with the Wrangler being flat-towed it should ride just fine as long as the weight rating for the hitch can take the weight. As long as you have a 2" hitch and do not exceed the weight rating of your hitch, the Kuat Pivot # PVD20B or the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR you are good to go! Which, even with the carrier being 58lbs and you hauling a 50lb and 65lb bike you are still under the weight rating of the pivot. So you're 100% in the clear!
