Bike Rack Options for the Back of a Motorhome that is Flat Towing a Vehicle
Question:
I currently have a motorhome and pull a flat towed Cadillac using an 8 inch receiver to have the Roadmaster Falcon All-terrain tow bar level. Id like to carry 2 bikes with me when I travel and have considered a dual receiver hitch, but am concerned about , as well as any reduction of tow capacity. What options do I have with this arrangement. I currently own an excellent, high quality hitch bike rack. Other considerations: Ladder bike rack ... install receiver hitch on 2007 Cadillac CTS Please comment

Expert Reply:
Do you have a ladder rack at the back of your motorhome? If so, you could use a Ladder Bike Rack part # LA-102. If you have a 4 inch bumper that is continuously welded you could use a bumper mounted bike rack like part # S80501.
Using a dual hitch adapter wouldn't be ideal since you are currently using an 8 inch drop adapter and none of the dual hitch adapters have that much drop.
