Question:

I have a sherpa 2.0 and when I put it in my 5th wheel 2inch hitch my handle bars hit the back of my 5th wheel 2023 Alliance 310rl we are thinking of replacing it with one that is rated for a 5th wheel does this hitch have more room from the pin to the center of the first bike?

Expert Reply:

While we have an option for you, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack # KU84FR will actually be about 5 inches closer to your trailer. The Sherpa 2.0 has quite a bit of distance, measuring 11 inches to the closest part of the rack (which are the bike trays where your bikes are), and there is only one rack rated for use on the back of a 5th wheel trailer that has more distance, from Hollywood Racks:

- Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR

The RV Rider # HLY64FR measures 12 inches to the wheel trays, so you're getting an extra inch of clearance compared to the Sherpa, and this is the most possible distance you can get.
