Hey Bob, thanks for reaching out. Yes. The Benton MoveHitch Aluminum Cargo Carrier # B86VR can be used on the back of a Class B, Class B+, or Class C motorhome as long as your motorhome has a 2-inch receiver hitch with enough tongue weight capacity to support the combined weight of the carrier and your cargo. The carrier itself weighs about 45 lbs and has a 500-lb evenly distributed capacity, but you'll need to stay within the rating of your RV's hitch, which is often the limiting factor.

One thing to keep in mind is that the farther behind the rear axle the carrier sits, the more leverage it puts on the hitch. Even if your hitch is rated for 500 lbs, I'd still avoid loading it right up to that limit on a motorhome.

What kind of gear will you be carrying back there?
