Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with the dual hitch receiver.by: Richard 04/29/2023
Etrailer’s customer is actually customer service. There’s real people who are there to help. Kate helped me get my order the next day after I realized I accidentally switched the billing and shipping addresses on the order form.
Comments
Still works the same as when I purchased it.
Richard - 04/30/2024by: David08/14/2022
Exactly what I needed. Now able to add storage box and still pull tow Dolly.
Comments
Works great, pull out tow dolly with small SUV. Also pull 14’ flatbed trailer hauling my Kawasaki Mule.

I contacted etrailer and spoke with Terri N. I had previously purchased on 3 separate occasions another brand of dual hitch (none from etrailer) which all bent when pulling my 2018 Jeep Wrangler behind our 2014 Fleetwood Bounder 35K Motorhome with a Hollywood bike frame carrying 2 Rad Power e-bikes. Apparently, we were using the wrong adaptor. She was VERY helpful with information, discouraging more than 1 hitch adaptor and recommended the 10,000 pound dual hitch receiver with a 2-4 in drop/rise. So far, it seems to be working fine. My only concern is that there is not enough clearance to fold up my Blue Ox tow bar while connected to the hitch. Also, the front of the Jeep bumper is VERY close to the bike rack upon turning the Motorhome.

I first went with a ridged brand that had a recall the sent me a replacement (I used the original for approximately one year with no problems)the replacement hitch bent immediately and when I contacted ridged they blamed my driving habits since receiving the roadmaster I’ve added a heavier vehicle and a very heavy spare tire rack and no problems
by: Teampez03/16/2024
Very impressed with the quality of this hitch adaptor! I have purchased many items from etrailer and never disappointed!!!
by: John O.03/31/2014
Wanted to be able to combine tow hitch and bike hitch. This required a 2" drop and a 4" rise with a 10K lb capability. Etrailer.com came thru with product, price, special free shipping, and great customer service. Ordered on Sun and received on Wed and installed on Thur and ready to go!
Comments
After 1 year this product is still working as day 1.
John O - 03/31/2015by: Ed07/02/2020
I bought the dual hitch to allow me to carry my bike rack at the same time be able to leave my tow hitch attached. It works great!
Comments
Excellent option to add a bicycle rack when towing. Easy to use. Well made. I highly recommend.
Ed - 07/03/2021by: Rudy04/25/2024
Indescribable/rugged a little on the heavy side but that’s what you need to take the abuse of pulling up to 10000#s
by: Gary 10/05/2023
Item is well made and will provide more flexibility with having a bike rack hitch and towing hitch at the same time.
by: Daniel Cowell04/07/2024
Its great, showed a lot of people. Every one i showed said they want one.
by: George05/08/2023
This was a change to ensure it met the 10K tow capacity of the Roadmaster system. The bike rack and the tow system are a little close so considering another extension for the Roadmaster system to allow a little more clearance when turning.
by: Maurice B06/27/2016
Love it !
Only one I`ve found that fits my need with both upper & lower receivers having a strong tow rating.
by: John 01/17/2024
Great product, works as expected.
by: John 06/03/2023
Good quality and heavy duty. Will work great being able to tow my jeep with the bike rack on top.
by: Darryl 08/24/2023
Thank you . Easy order. Shipped fast. Product is strong. I always get a good experience with E-Trailer.
by: Roger 12/03/2023
Great product and well built. Easy access on their website with fast shipment.
by: Jim M.08/23/2017
Needed a drop hitch for the Falcon 2 tow bar to get within the specified 3" variance off level as specified by Roadmaster. Also, we wanted to have the second receiver for a hitch mounted bike carrier. Problems solved! Thanks etrailer!
Comments
Still performing and doing the job of bicycle hitch and hitch for the Falcon II tow bar.
Jim M - 08/23/2018by: Steve P01/27/2017
This dual hitch receiver was exactly what we needed as it allows us to pull our tow vehicle behind our RV and also carry our bike rack between the RV and the tow vehicle. The dual hitch receiver is very heavy-duty and very well constructed.
Comments
Still working great one year later!!
Steve P - 01/27/2018by: Mark 06/02/2023
Exactly what I needed. Our A class motorhome sits higher than our ex-C class did and angles the toad pull line too much, thus the 4" drop. When pulling our little fishing boat we had no where for our e-bikes, thus the 2" rise. All should be perfect now. Next problem is June and first of July is completely booked with family stuff. Can't test anything until July 12th, 2023. Going fishing. Will update if a problem but I cannot forsee one.
by: James02/16/2019
Received my 4 inch hitch adapter almost two weeks ago. Finally had the time to install and test it on my RV. The adapter fits great and the welds look very well done. The 4 inch drop along with my blue ox’s 4 inch drop are the perfect combination for my tow package. I plan to add a new bicycle carrier in the near future and this adapter was chosen with that in mind.
Comments
1 year usage and still great purchase for towing my Mini Cooper. I love the versatility of adding my bike carrier in front of the toad vice being on back of towed car.
James - 02/17/2020by: Jeff01/23/2019
Our new double 10000lbs rating receiver is perfect on our class a. Now can 4wheel down tow our Honda crv and put our bike carrier on the same receiver with plenty of clearance for the sharpest of turns. Very well made nice piece of equipment. Great service and with pin purchase and receiver, free shipping.
Comments
works great. use it all the time to haul our bikes and tow a car with our rv
jeff - 01/25/2020by: Leo S.03/11/2019
Product has worked great. I use it to tow a vehicle behind my Motorhome on the lower hitch and carry two heavy electric bikes on a bike carrier on the top hitch. I have put more than 15000 miles on it so far without any issues.
Comments
Still working perfectly after more than 20K miles and more than a year on the road
Leo S - 03/12/2020by: Mr. Glamping08/23/2019
For my toad needed an extension for a 4" drop and a connection for a bike rack. No one locally had what needed. etrailer had the exact item I needed to haul my toad and bike rack on motor home for the rated capacity I needed. Quality built product. Delivered product exactly as shown on web site.
Comments
E-trailer gets it right. After a year. No issues. Dont just buy, call and they can get you the right product for your application.
Mr. G - 08/24/2020by: William04/16/2019
Reasonable shipping time on my drop hitch. The quality seems heavy and strong. Works perfectly for my needs, allows me to tow car behind coach and carry bike rack at same time. Very happy with this product and recommend purchasing from Etrailer.
Comments
hitch is working great and my opinion is the same now as it was a year ago.
William - 04/17/2020by: Larry P.11/16/2016
Very well made with nice powder coat finish. Purchased to allow use of hitch mounted bike rack(when toad is connected) and get tow bar within "safe" zone for level towing. Like option of different drop length. Great service and fast delivery.
Comments
Still performs as expected. No issues so for.

- Recommendation To Allow Towing With Weight Distribution System and Use Bike RackThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 4" Drop/Rise # RM-077-4 is rated for up to 10,000 lbs towing, but only 400 lbs tongue weight and is only intended for flat towing. The manufacturer notes this should not be used for towing. There isn't a dual hitch adapter that is compatible with a weight distribution hitch, but there is a ball mount that is rated for this use and can use a cargo carrier or bike rack at the same time. I recommend the Gen-Y Adjustable 2-Ball Mount w/ Stacked...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy TahoeI have a solution for you, but a front mount trailer hitch like the # 31302 can only be used for a winch or for pushing around a trailer to get it in the right position; you can not use it to tow your 2003 Chevy Tahoe. You would not be able to turn properly with a single attachment point at the center of a 4 wheeled vehicle, it's not really going to be an option for you. To safely flat tow a vehicle you will need a special attachment called base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...
view full answer... - Dual Receiver Hitch Adapter to Use Hitch Bike Rack and Tow BarI suggest the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 which will fit your 2-inch hitch and provide the dual receiver opening you need to use your hitch bike rack along with your tow bar. This item carries a flat towing capacity of 10K and a tongue weight rating (TW) of 400-lbs. You can lock it to your RV hitch with pin lock # e98880. If you need more rise/drop instead use similar Roadmaster part # RM-077-4 which has 4-inches of rise/drop.
view full answer... - How to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2011 Ford Escape Towing Trailer4 bike racks are pretty long and typically aren't able to be carried with a dual hitch adapter when towing a trailer as the bikes/rack ends up interfering with the trailer. I do have a solution though. You are going to have to install a roof rack to carry your bikes. For that you would want the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 for if you have raised roof rails on the roof or if you have a naked roof the part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and #...
view full answer... - How to Use a Hitch Mount Bike Rack While Flat Towing and Using a Blue Ox KarGard IIUnfortunatley, the Karguard II will be in the way of the bike rack installed into the top receiver of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-4. An alternative option may be to add a trailer hitch receiver on the back of your towed vehicle and install the Yakima Holdup (part # Y02443 for 2 inch hitches or # Y02445 for 1-1/4 Class II hitches) on it. If you provide me the year, make, and model of the vehicle you're towing I'm happy to recommend a hitch receiver.
view full answer... - Best Way to Carry E-Bikes While Flat Towing VehicleThe best way to carry e-bikes is on the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR as it's rated for the heavier bikes, can work on motorhomes, and can work on flat-towed vehicles. See attached review video link. Then you'd also need a dual hitch adapter so that you can carry the bike rack and the tow bar with the # RM-077-4 if you don't want the rack on the towed vehicle. The upper hitch opening will carry the bike rack and the lower one will attach to the tow bar.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter with a Capacity Greater than 5,000 lbsCheck out the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4. This product is very similar to the Curt Dual Receiver Adapter # D-192 you referenced except it has a 10,000 lb capacity. This item is for towbar use only.
view full answer... - Carrying 200 lb Scooter and Towing a Boat Trailer SimultaneouslyThe only possible way I can think to do what you're asking about would be to use a multi-purpose ballmount like part # D210. However, the receiver portion of the ball mount has a maximum capacity of 350 lbs. This means that the weight of the scooter, plus its carrier couldn't weigh more than 350 lbs. The entire ballmount/receiver unit has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, which means that the tongue weight exerted on the receiver plus the tongue weight applied to the trailer ball couldn't...
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster High Low Adapter # RM-077-4 be Used with Spare Carrier # RM-195225The Roadmaster high low adapter part # RM-077-4 that you referenced has a 400 lb tongue weight rating so it would easily be able to handle the weight of your spare wheel and tire installed on the # RM-195225 you mentioned as well.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter for Flat Towing and Carrying Bike RackI'd recommend something with a higher capacity, that's meant for flat towing a vehicle like the # RM-077-4 from Roadmaster. Using an extender like # MPG544 will lower the capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. I've linked you to some FAQ articles about flat towing that you might find helpful.
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Work With Ultra-FAb Dirt Bike CarrierThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 4" Drop/Rise # RM-077-4 has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity so it will have enough weight capacity for your 250 lb scooter and 50 lb Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033. The Ultra-Fab is approved for use behind a motorhome and the only thing you need to ensure is you have enough room for the carrier to fit. The Receiver Adapter measures 9-1/2" from the center of its hitch pin hole to the center of the top receiver's hitch pin hole, and...
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Recommendation for Flat Towing Car and Carrying Bike Rack at the Same TimeSounds like you want to install the Ultra Fab Hitch part # UF35-946401 vertically so that the opening faces up instead of behind the RV. I can't safely recommend you do that since the hitch hasn't been tested in the orientation. A better option would be something like the # RM-077-4 that has a 4 inch rise built into it so that you can install the rack in the upper opening and use your tow bar in the lower one.
view full answer... - Can the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 Tow 2004 Jeep and Bike Rack With 4 BikesThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 that you referenced should work fine when used in conjunction with your 2013 Tiffin Class A motorhome along with your bike rack and bikes. This receiver adapter has a 10,000 lb towing and 400 lb tongue weight capacity and can only be used in a tow bar situation which is spot on with your situation. The 10,000 lbs fully covers your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The second half if the 400 lb tongue weight capacity. At this point you just...

- Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver With 4 Inch Drop or Rise be Used With Tow Dolly & Bike RackYes, you can use a bike rack and tow dolly with the 4" Drop/Rise Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4. All you need to do is ensure you are below the adapter's tongue weight limit, which is 400 lbs. You will need to attach the adapter to your hitch with Pin and Clip # PC3, or you can add some extra security by locking the adapter to your hitch with the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880. I have added links to instructions and video reviews for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Could Boat Trailer and Scooter Carrier be Carried at Same TimeThe best adapter solution to potentially allow you to tow your trailer and carry a scooter carrier for your two scooters is the Curt dual hitch adapter part # D210. This adapter has a lower ball mount platform which you could use to tow the boat trailer and an upper hitch opening which you can use for the carrier. We don't have any motorcycle or scooter carriers that can carry two of them at a time but if you can find a carrier with two trays for them both the # D210 will work well as...
view full answer... - Will Load Extender Match the Truckbed Height of 2016 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Hitch?The lowest setting of the Erikson Big Bed Load Extender # EM07600 is 18" in height while the lowest setting of the Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 is measured at 17" high. That will still bring you at an inch higher than your truck bed. If you're carrying a kayak, you can put down some foam blocks like Malone RackPads # MPG314 to lift the kayak up on your truck bed and you can reuse the blocks when you store your kayak in your garage or on the ground. The blocks are 3-1/2"...

You have most of the parts correct, but there are some specific items you will need for your Mini.

However, since there is not a trailer hitch for your vehicle yet and you don't want to use a trunk mount or roof rack bike rack then you will have no other option but to use a dual hitch adapter and place the bikes on a hitch mounted back rack between the tow vehicle and toad. For this, we have a few options for you depending on your rise/drop needs. In order to determine what your rise/drop needs are we will want...

- Can a Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver be Used to Tow a Trailer or Dolly or Used with a WinchYou are correct about flat towing; towing a vehicle with all wheels on the ground behind another vehicle, usually an RV. There is very little tongue weight when flat towing a vehicle since it is for the most part supporting itself. There is significantly more tongue weight when using a trailer since the tow vehicle hitch has to support some of the weight. The Roadmaster dual hitch receiver # RM-077-4 is not tested or rated for use with a trailer. Tow dollies on the other hand do have more...

Since your compressor will act more like a trailer behind your truck I recommend going with the Malone Dual Hitch Extender # MPG544 instead. The bottom receiver on this particular adapter can be used for towing a trailer and it has a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 pounds and a maximum...

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267,...

Basically it needs to be between 3 inches above or below level and you're good. The part # RM-077-4 that you referenced can do a 4 inch rise/drop. The Blue Ox Alpha part # BX7380 that you referenced can have the arms spaced between 16 and 36 inches.

- Dual Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing a Trailer and Carrying a WinchWe do have a dual hitch adapter that may work for you, but the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 is not designed to be used for towing a trailer. It's designed to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier while flat towing a vehicle. The Curt Dual Receiver # D-192 can be used for towing using the bottom receiver opening. Top receiver would be used for you winch. Also, you should know that using a hitch adapter, such as this, will reduce your capacity by 50 percent.
