The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR is capable of supporting 2 bikes up to 80lbs each. It is both compatible with the 2" hitch on the back of your 5th wheel and will fit tires up to 5" wide.

Hi Bud, Thanks for your response. The Hollywood RV bike rack states that the 5th wheel hitch has to be class 3 and rated to 350 pounds. The hitch welded to the 5th wheel frame is only rated at 300 pounds. We opted to order the Swagman E-spec bike rack from Etrailer last Saturday Is that a good rack? Mark Chase

@MarkC The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack # S94FR is only capable of carrying 2 bikes up to 70lbs each. If you can get both of your bikes below 70lbs then it will work for you.
