Question:
Hi, I have a Hollywood rack with two bikes weighing about 80 lbs each. I am looking for a swing-away bar to access the rear doors. I have a Sprinter van 2007.

You can use a swing adapter, we'd recommend the Yakima # Y02483 BackSwing.
There are a couple of caveats you'll want to be aware of:
• The BackSwing is only compatible with 2" hitches and dedicated 2" accessories
• Not for use with hitch adapters, reducers, or extenders
• Not for use with 1-1/4" accessories that use a 2" adapter
• Using this hitch extender will reduce your hitch's overall capacity by 50 percent
You'll want to make sure that the combined weight of the bikes and the rack doesn't exceed half the hitch's tongue weight capacity which will be listed on a sticker affixed to it.
