• How to Carry a E-Bike Bike Rack and Tow a Travel Trailer
  Thanks for the pictures, that's a very cute dog! I have a solution for you but looking at the space, and motorized jack, on your Escape 21C travel trailer's tongue you are not going to be able to mount a e-bike capable rack. The Swagman Straddler Bike Rack Carrier item # S80503 you were looking at may fit with your weight distribution system brackets but it and similar options all top out at 100 lbs. You won't have enough capacity for one e-bike with the rack. Instead, I recommend using...

• Recommended Adapter for Additional Clearance With Hitch Mounted Cargo Basket
  Using an adapter like the Malone # MPG544 or Flint Hill Goods # FHG75VR will get you the extra clearance you need so you don't hit your cargo basket on the ground. However, any adapter like this is going to reduce the capacity of your hitch by 50% which is less than ideal. If the hitch on your 2001 Tacoma had a 500 lb tongue weight capacity like the # e64AR that would mean you could only carry 250 lbs. This can be pretty limiting since you also have to factor in the weight of your cargo...

• Recommended Ball Mount for Extra Height on a Front Mounted Hitch
  I have a great solution for your cooler basket fishing rod holder. It is the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount item # 325-GH-503 for 5" of height or item # 325-GH-304 for 7-1/2". These ball mounts attach to any 2" receiver and will give you multiple height adjustment options.

• Recommended Adjustable Drop Receiver That Can Be Used With Friction Sway Control
  I have another option for you, but while the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH54FR would allow you to install your current ball mount with provisions for two friction sway control, it has not be tested for this at this time (1/29/2021) so I would not recommend using it in this manner at this time. For an option that is rated for use with friction sway control, I recommend the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - 10K...

• Do You Carry The Patriot Hitches Adjustable Receiver In a 10,000LB Capacity?
  The Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # PH67SR in the 7,000lb capacity is the only capacity we currently carry. For 10,000lbs from Patriot Hitches we have their Captain # PH34FR. We do have the Gen-Y Shank # 325-GH-304 rated for 10,000lbs with its stacked 2" receivers as an option.

• Ball Mount Needed with Longer Shank for Use with a Ford E-350
  I do have a solution for you but all of our other long shank ball mounts are shorter than the Curt # C45900 that you currently have. You could use a Gen-Y shank like part # 325-GH-303 for a 5" rise/drop or part # 325-GH-304 for a 7-1/2" rise/drop along with the Gen-Y Tri-Ball Mount # 325-GH-034 which comes with 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" hitch balls and has a 12" long shank. Another option is to use a fixed ball mount with a long shank like the Brophy # EA40 with a hitch ball like the 2"...

• Is There an Option to Lower the Trailer Hitch Receiver for Motorcycle Carrier Use?
  There really isn't an option to lower your hitch 6 inches and carry 400 lb motorcycle with carrier. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 is the strongest option with a 400 lb tongue weight capacity that doesn't account for the weight of the carrier, so is not a working option. Adapters simply are not strong enough for the tongue weight you are seeking. Your best option is to use the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise...

• How to Carry Bikes Between Motorhome and Towed Vehicle
  Carrying bikes while using a tow dolly can be a bit tricky since the rear of your towed vehicle will be angled down so instead I recommend using the Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-304 in the rise position and then using the lowest receiver for your tow dolly and the highest receiver for a bike rack like the Thule Range # TH9057 to carry your bikes between the motorhome and tow dolly.

  To haul your Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # BA22B and your Mini Cooper on tow dolly you can use a Gen-Y stacked receiver like the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 7-1/2" Drop/Rise - 10K # 325-GH-304 or Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked Receivers - 2" Hitch - 12-1/2" Drop - 10K # 325-GH-316.

• Can Top Most Receiver Tube in Gen-Y 325-GH-304 Replacement Shank Be Used
  I believe you're wanting to know if all 4 receivers provided by the Gen-Y # 325-GH-304 shank are usable, is that right? All 4 receiver tubes on the # 325-GH-304 shank are indeed usable, including the top most one. You could even use more than one receiver, but you'll need to abide by either the 1500 lb tongue weight capacity of the shank or the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your vehicle, whichever of the two is lower.

• Dual Hitch Adapter for Bike Rack With E-Bikes on 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Towing 2024 Aliner Classic
  I would say throw a hitch on the trailer and then add the bike rack but none of the racks with a high enough capacity are rated for a travel trailer. For a hitch adapter I recommend using the Gen-Y stacked receivers like the # 325-GH-305. Unlike normal adapters this will not cut your hitch capacity in half. It also gives you good options for rise to clear your trailer jack and propane. I'm not totally sure what clearance you need without trying it or taking measurements but I can help...

• How to Carry Rad Fat Tire e-Bike and Standard Bike with Winnebago Micro Minnie
  Since you're unable to use the hitch at the back of your 2018 Winnebago Micro Minnie I recommend checking out the Gen-Y Hitch Replacement Shank # 325-GH-304 along with the Swagman Current Bike Rack # S64678. The Gen-Y has a 7-1/2" rise and then the Current has an additional 8-1/2" of rise so the platform of the rack will sit about 16" above the hitch receiver on your vehicle. Hopefully this gives you enough rise to clear anything on the tongue of your trailer. Attached are some videos...

• How to Tell if Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Will Fit with Flat Towed Vehicle Behind Motorhome
  Thanks for reaching out, Mike! The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR sits out about 27-1/2" from the face of your hitch receiver, so as long as you still have turning clearance you'll be just fine.

You can use something like the Gen-Y Shank # 325-GH-304 to help increase the height of your bike rack and still have a receiver for your tow bar. Let me know if this bike...

  I have a couple great solutions but placing a weight distribution system in a Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount part # 325-GH-304 is not the way to go.

• Dual Receiver Recommendation for Towing Car and Using Bike Rack Simultaneously
  The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 8" Drop/Rise # RM-077-8 does have the 2 inch receiver like a Class III hitch on both openings but the Roadmaster adapters have a rounded shape to the inside of them to help be a tighter fit on accessories and the shank of your Swagman bike rack, # S64663, is extremely square and won't fit into Roadmaster adapters. Instead you can use the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop/Rise - 10K # 325-GH-303 or 7-1/2" #...

• Recommendation for Dual Hitch Bike Rack and Ball Mount Compatible with Heavy Trailer
  We have a solution for you but it isn't a dual receiver but rather a stacked receiver ball mount. This won't be an adapter so won't reduce the tongue weight capacity of your trailer hitch like the adapter you asked about. It will allow you to use the top receiver for your 4 Bike Thule Apex # TH9025XT as long as your loaded tongue weight is within the parameters of your trailer hitch. You can also use a weight distribution system if desired at the same time. My recommendation for you...
