Front Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-350
Question:
Looking at carrying bikes while towing a wave runner and see the dual receivers as a great option. Tow vehicle is an F350 with a truck camper. I use an 18inch extension currently to tow the waverunner. Can I add a dual receiver to the mix? If my math is right I start with 600lb TW and reduce by 50 and then have 300lb TW available. If I add the dual receiver the I reduce by another 50? Leaving 150lbsTW. Waverunner TW is 70lbs that leaves me the 80lbs for bikes and rack. Am I missing anything? Is there a better option?

Your math is solid...but we can't recommend the use of more than one hitch extender/adapter. A better option would be a front hitch on your 2013 Ford F-350 like the Draw Tite part # 65049 so that you can carry a bike rack up front.
Then for a bike rack to carry in the front hitch the Thule Camber part # TH9058 would fit and be a great option.
