We definitely have bike rack options available for you to get your e-bikes to your camping destination! The correct rack really depends on what you mean when you say "RV" because different racks have been approved for different types of RVs.

If you have a small van RV then you can use the Yakima OnRamp LX # Y88DJ which is rated for 80 lb bikes and comes with a ramp built on it.

Aside from a small van RV you might be referring to a bigger Class A or Class C motorhome, or even a 5th wheel trailer. If this is what you have then you need the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR which can handle 80 lb bikes and is compatible on anything aside from a travel (bumper pull) trailer or a bumper-mounted hitch receiver. The unfortunate thing about this rack is that there are no ramps made for it so you will be left with some heavy lifting on your end.

With that being said, if you remove the batteries from your bikes it should lower their weight and make them a little easier to load. Unfortunately there currently aren't any other better bike rack options at this point in time. Attached are some review videos for you to check out of the bike racks mentioned above.
