Question:

I need advice. Looking for an ebike rack that swings away for my Sprinter RV for two ebikes with fenders. Can you offer suggestions that would work?

We definitely have some solutions for you, and out of our selection I recommend the following for your Sprinter RV:

- Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack w/ LED Bar for 2 Bikes # HLY34RR
- Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B

I really like the Sport Rider because it can handle up to 80 lb bikes and secures them by the frame so it won't make contact with your fenders. The included LED light bar helps to ensure the traffic around you can clearly see the bike rack, especially in low-light situations.

Then the Swing Away add-on was designed by Kuat with the Sprinter specifically in mind. Back when van RVing started becoming popular again, Kuat realized the need to clear the back doors of a Sprinter and this was their solution. I've used a handful of these types of swing away arms and the Pivot 2 is by far the easiest to use while still being a solid piece of material.
