Can I Use The Kuat Pivot On My Jeep Wrangler That Is Being Flat Towed Behind A Motorhome?  

Updated 08/04/2020 | Published 07/31/2020



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!

Expert Reply:

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!
