Recommended 2 Bike Rack For Motorhome Hitch Receiver

Question:

For me the key will be long lasting durability. I will using the carrier on a motor home. The next trip will be about 4000 miles and the two bikes total about 75 pounds. Any feedback on these carriers. I like the Trailblazer.

There are only certain bike racks that are recommended by the manufacturers for use on Motorhome hitches. Unfortunately, the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Rack - 1-1/4", 2" Hitch - Platform Style - Frame Mount, # HR200Z, is not one of them. Many of the bike racks for cars and trucks have many moving parts and cool functions, but that doesn't translate well to the back of Motorhomes.

My recommendation for your Motorhome bike rack is the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # S44FR. This rack will fit 2 bikes weighing up to 45 lbs each with a maximum bike wheelbase of 52 inches. The ratcheting ruberized hooks firmly grip your bikes by the top tubes and adjust independently to hold different sizes. The threaded hitch pin reduces movement and noise of the rack in your hitch while the combination hitch lock and cable secures the rack to your vehicle and bikes to the rack. It's gray powder coat finish is durable and rust resistant.

I've attached a link to all your RV hitch mounted bike rack options.
