Bike Rack Recommendation Similar to Saris SuperClamp that is Rated for Use Behind RV

Question:

I have a Saris SuperClamp 2 that I was going to use with a receiver hitch on the back of a motorhome but I see in your description of the Saris SuperClamp 2 EX that you list it as not for use on RVs. Could you tell me why this is? Thank you.

At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use.

The most similar bike rack we offer that is reinforced enough is the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU84FR which also only grabs the bikes by the tires.
