RV Approved Bike Rack Recommendation that Fits 1-1/4 inch Hitch
Question:
I want to buy the Swagman Escapee for my fifth wheel trailer but it has a 1.25 inch hitch. Can I use an adapter? Which one will work best and not have play in it?

Helpful Expert Reply:
All of our fifth wheel approved bicycle racks require a 2" hitch. I would not recommend using a hitch adapter as they add quite a bit of movement and leverage on the hitches they are used in. Your best bet is to install a 2" hitch on your Fifth wheel. Then you would have a choice of five different hanging racks like the Yakima LongHaul # Y02476.
