Hey Mary! As long as you have a 2" hitch on your RAV4 you can use the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. This will allow you to open the rear hatch without having to remove your accessories from the hitch.

Are you planning on using this with the Yakima DoubleUp 2 Bike Rack # Y24VR?
