The best bike rack solution for you is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR which is approved for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a fifth wheel, has the weight capacity for e-bikes at 80 lbs per bike, has frame clamps designed to work with the typically unusual e-bike frames, and also has wheel hoops that are designed to fit bike tires up to 5 inches in width.
