Transporting E-Bikes with 2014 Ram 2500 that is Towing Camper Trailer
Question:
I have an ebike and looking for best option to transport it. We also have a travel trailer which we tow from time to time. I have a 2014 Ram 2500 4 wheel drive. I am thinking best option is to install front hitch so I can carry bikes while towing the travel trailer, and otherwise use the rear hitch for the bike rack. Im considering to get the Thule platform carrier for ebikes. I have considered to mount the bike rack on the rear bumper of the trailer - But I am concerned about the set up due the height Please let me know if you agree or have alternative suggestions

Expert Reply:
As long as you are okay with your E-bike having some smashed bugs on it a front hitch like the # 65063 installed on your 2014 Ram 2500 with the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 would be your best option when towing your camper.
The EasyFold is not rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of campers which is why it's not recommended to be used there.
