Is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR Compatible with a Swing Away Adapter?
Question:
Can this rack be safely used with any of the swing away arms you sell to get the rack/bikes out of the way to open class b van doors?
asked by: Dale
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR can be used with a swing away hitch adapter to get the rack/bikes out of the way to open your class-b van doors. For the extender, I recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks - 2" Hitches - Passenger's Side # PVP20B. The advantage of the Pivot 2 over other swing away extenders is that it can swing at both 90 degrees and 120 degrees away from your van.
One important thing to note is that any time you use any form of extender or adapter, you will reduce the overall weight capacity of your hitch by 50%. If you need a hitch recommendation, I would happy to assist you if you provide the year/make/model of your van.
