Question:
Can I use this rack on the back of my motorhome? We carry two heavy e-bikes on long trips.

Hey Mark - I checked directly with Thule on that one. The Epos 3 bike rack for 2" hitches # TH34FR44SR isn’t approved for RV or flat-towed applications; it’s for standard passenger vehicles only. That’s due to the extra bounce at the back of a motorhome frame.
For a similar setup rated for RV and/or flat towing use, look at the Saris MHS DUO 3 bike rack # SAR35MR - it handles 100 lbs on the inner two trays, with max capacity of 195 lbs for all bikes combined.
What type of motorhome do you have, Mark?

Got it, thanks. I’ve got a 37-foot Newmar Class A. If I keep the bikes on the toad instead of the RV, would that still be fine?
