Can I Use The Roadmaster Dual Receiver Hitch Adapter With The Hollywood Racks RV Rider  

To William M & Gwendolyn Y: I have been using the Roadmaster Dual Receiver Hitch Adapter for years now and there are very few issues. I tow an F 150 extended cab 4x4 behind a Winnebago Itasca 37W with the dual hitch for my bicycle. I use a sturdy Thule 2 bicycle rack and a Blue Ox tow hitch. The main bicycle is a Merlin road bike, and the second was a mountain bike. Now I carry spare wheels for the road bike in the same rack. Clearance between the truck and the bicycles has not been an issue on even sharp turns, though the Winnebago is somewhat restrictive on turning radius and backing up is not recommended, I would have to bind things up pretty tight to cause any contact. You should check your very closely before heading out on the road though. All of that said, I am very close to the high limit on toad weight with my Harley Davidson in the bed and my canoe on the roof of the F 150. Over time and many miles I detected a bit of 'droop' within the combination of hitch, extender, and tow bar that I resolved by making my own shims to take up excess slop. I have used both a 4 and 6 inch clearance receiver and the 6 works best for me, leaving ample clearance to remove the Blue Ox without having to take the bicycle rack off. As others have said on review - This Is Not a Light Weight extender like other brands, but it is Roadmaster and they are very reliable products for any towing needs. I use their toad brake controller as well and it is fantastic too! Michael Y

Hey William, this hitch adapter works great for me. I use the bottom to tow my dirtbike trailer and the top portion to flat to my Bronco had no issues. It is strong built and will last a long time.

Hi William, the hitch adapter is super heavy and strong. I tow a Fiat 500 with a Sprinter and Blue Ox. I had to get the adapter to drop to the height of the Fiat for flat towing which has worked well. But one thing i noticed is you'll get some drooping even with U bolt braces really tight if you have heavy bikes (not evident without the bikes while towing). Also the top receiver is blocked in the back so long bike rack mounts may not fit, at least it didn't with my Yakima full swing rack. The locking pin on the bike rack was short of the receiver hole by 1/4". Considering the adapter is so thick and heavy duty, i'll drill another hole about a half inch away from the existing one to install the bike rack. It won't affect the integrity or cause a safety issue since it's just on the top receiver to lock the bike rack, not on the bottom receiver used to tow the car. The bike rack also uses a wedge lock and of course i add an additional U bolt to be extra cautious. Just mentioning this to keep in mind when evaluating additional receiver racks for tires or bikes.
