Welcome back Chris! I've got a couple solid shank options for extensions that fit a 2" hitch receiver. They've all got holes in both ends to attach to your Leisure Travel RV's hitch and to secure your platform bike rack. Which one you need is going to depend on how long of an extension you need. I have listed them below by their lengths from the hitch pin holes:

18" Long - Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers item # e48YR

13-13/16" Long - Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches item # e28YR

8" Long - Trailer Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers item # e88YR

Please note that using any hitch extender no matter how long or what brand will reduce your RV's hitch capacity by 50%.

What bikes do you have and what specific e-bike rack are you using? I want to make sure it's rated to be used with a hitch extender or if we need to find you another option. Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have where it says Add Comment.
