Hey Jeffrey, The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes #SH22G is a great rack but unfortunately is not rated for use on the back of an RV. The suspension of a trailer differs greatly compared to that of your personal vehicle. RV/Trailer suspension is…
The Brophy Hitch Adapter #HTAD does allow installation of a 2-inch accessory like a bike rack in a 1-1/4-inch hitch. The issue is that ALL such adapters, because they move the actual load further away from the hitch, place more leverage on the hitch…
The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack #SH22G is designed to hold the bike in place by clamping down on the front tire. This compresses the tire slightly for the best fit and security. Although it can be clamped over a fender, that is not ideal as…
There shouldn't be too much movement when using the Sherpa #SH22G if the back strap is nice and tight. I don't see there being any damage caused by the first picture you've provided. It seems like you have fenders on that bike. You will…
The Kuat NV 2.0 Base 2-Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4 Inch Hitches #BA12B that you referenced is indeed capable of securing 2 bikes of up to 60 pounds each. As far as your 55 pound e-bikes, the rack itself is more than up to the task. The only thing…
I do have a solution for you to carry both of your bikes with your Mazda CX-5 but unfortunately an adapter like part #HTAD isn't the way that I recommend going. Not only does it cut the weight rating of your trailer hitch in half, it will also…
Hey Dylan, so we have the Brophy hitch expander part #HTAD which is Class I compatible but the adapter you mentioned can only be used with Class II hitches so it wouldn't work for you.
In most cases Loctite is not required when installing a trailer hitch, but it would not be a bad idea. I suggest using the Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker, #LT37643, which will provide a secure grip and protect against water and grime.
A drawbar (or sometimes called ball mount), is the metal piece that slides into the hitch opening to provide the attachment point for a hitch ball for trailer towing. If you have no plans of towing with the part #24847 then you would not need the…
On both the Hidden Hitch 60258 (discontinued) and the Draw-Tite, #24843, the top of the receiver tube will be approximately 1 inch below the bottom of the rear fascia. The bottom of the receiver will then be another 1-3/4 inches below that. Measure…
The Curt Trailer Hitch, #11383, is designed to fit the 2010 and 2011 Mazda 3 Hatchback but not the sedan. I have included a link to the trailer hitches available for the Sedan, Non-Grand Touring model for you to view. The equivalent hitch for your 4…
The spacing of the feet of cargo boxes will be narrower than the overall width of the cargo box. So basically what that means is you could use any cargo box so long as it has attachments that are compatible with the Rola crossbar dimensions and…
