Expert Reply:

I am happy to help you find the right bike rack set up for your fifth wheel trailer. Unfortunately, the Hollywood RV Rider # HLY64FR requires a receiver with at least a 350 lbs. TW capacity. It is not compatible with Bumper Mounted Hitch Receiver Adapters (see photo below), but it is specifically designed to support heavier bikes such as your 2 ebikes.

We do not have a bike rack available that is compatible with Bumper Mounted Hitch Receiver Adapters and can support heavier E-Bikes.

As long as you have a hitch receiver like the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13702 you can use your existing hitch. This hitch has a TW capacity of 500 lbs. and is compatible with the Hollywood # HLY64FR you are interested in. With this set up you should have no trouble hauling your two ebikes or any other 2 inch receiver accessories.

Thank you for clarifying the type of hitch you have, and I apologize for any confusion. Since you have the Curt # E-100 with a TW capacity of 350 lbs. you can support the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. Bumper mounted adapters such as the Ultra-Fab 2" # UF35-946401 are not compatible, because they do not have a high enough TW capacity.
