Question:
I was sold a EPOS 2-BIKE rack for carring my two e-bikes one 40 pounds and one 60 pounds. I was told it will work on my 23ft camper factory hitch!

Hello Tim, thanks for reaching out. The Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH99XE does have a capacity of 75 lbs per bike, BUT it is not rated for use on a camper or travel trailer, so it would not be safe to use for that application. You will need a bike rack that is specifically rated for a travel trailer, Swagman Escapee # S39SR. This is rated for RVs and travel trailers and has a capacity of 60 lbs per bike.
If you want to return that Thule rack just shoot me your order number and I can get the ball rolling on that.

No I did not. I instead ending up getting the Yakima on ramp lx-e bike ramp made for e-bikes on the back of a camping trailer. It works great everything stayed where it was suppose to be on the trip of 1700mi to the black hills and back. It hold two e-bikes, which is what we had on it!
