Can I Use an Extension to Mount a Kuat Transfer V2 on a Motorhome?

Published 06/09/2026

Question:

I own a 2025 Leisure Travel Van Unity and I bought a Kuat Transfer V2 for two bikes. Our bike is hitting the back of our RV with the Kuat Transfer rack so we couldn’t use the rack as is. Can I use an 8 inch hitch extender for my situation? The Kuat site says that the hitch pin can not be further than 64 inches from the rear axel and I believe this dimension on our Unity is a little longer than 64 inches so I’m thinking we can’t use the 8 inch extender on our Kuat bike rack. Please let me know your thoughts.

Unfortunately you can not Eric. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack item # KU84FR can only be used with a motorhome like yours when it's attached directly to the 2" hitch. None of Kuat's extenders, swingaway arms, or high low adapters are rated for use behind a motorhome and Kuat specifically states not to use other brands.
