The Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # S64665 can be used for passenger vehicles and motorhomes but we'll want to look at a different rack if you're wanting to use it for a 5th wheel application.

When it comes to 4-bike carriers that are 5th wheel-safe I recommend checking out the Thule Range # TH9057 because it's a hanging style rack that can hold 37.5 lb bikes and has 7" spacing between the bikes so it's easier to load up your bike rack. Please note that you do need at least 1.5" from the center of your hitch pin hole to the face of the receiver and any bikes you have that lack a horizontal top tube will need an adapter bar like # UB01.
