Question:
I own the Yakima OnRamp LX e-bike hitch rack for my 2017 Honda Ridgeline, which I use to transport my Gazelle Ultimate C380 HMB e-bike on road trips. I recently purchased a Pleasure-Way Plateau TS built on the Mercedes Sprinter 3500XD chassis. Pairing my existing Yakima OnRamp LX with the Yakima BackSwing hitch adapter seems like a good solution for my new RV, correct? It should allow me to swing my bike out of the way so I can easily open the rear doors of the Sprinter. The total exterior length of my RV without a rack is 22’ 9”. How much additional length will the OnRamp and BackSwing add?

Thanks, Jon. The length of my Pleasure-Way Plateau TS, bumper to bumper without the hitch rack, is 22’ 9”. Among the compatible hitch rack extenders for the Yakima OnRamp LX, are there any alternatives that would result in less rear protrusion? Or is the Yakima BackSwing still the best option?
