Will The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Allow For Wheelchair Carrier on a 2016 Nissan Leaf?
I just want to ensure I am understanding you correctly because you say trailer but I think you are referring to carrier like the Flint Hill Goods # FHG77ZR. If this is similar to what you are meaning then yes, you will be able to use it with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 on your 2016 Nissan Leaf. I do recommend also installing the Wiring # C56227 when you install the receiver as you will most likely need to add some Auxiliary Lights # C53201 to the carrier. This...

Recommended Bike Rack Options For 40lb Bike On A 2021 Nissan Leaf
The trunk mounted bike rack carriers that we currently offer unfortunately aren't rated high enough for a 40lb bike so you would need to switch to either a trailer hitch mount or roof rack mounted rack. If you don't have a trailer hitch then you can install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7221 and then use a rack like the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02457. If you'd rather go with a roof rack option then you could first install the following components: Yakima...

Recommended Tow Dolly For 2020 Nissan Leaf SV Plus EV
According to the owner's manual for the 2020 Nissan Leaf SV Plus EV, it cannot be towed with 4 wheels down so using a tow dolly would be the only alternative. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045 because it folds up compactly for storage and comes with disc brakes that will help relieve some of the stress on your Class C; this will be especially helpful considering you're towing long distances.

Does the Tow Hook of a 2015 Nissan Leaf Need to be Removed to Install Curt Hitch
The tow hook of the 2015 Nissan Leaf would need to get removed to install the Nissan Leaf part # C11396.

Will the EcoHitch For a 2021 Nissan Leaf Also Fit a 2022 Nissan Leaf
While nobody has been able to confirm a fitment yet, from what I can tell it looks like the 2021 and 2022 Nissan Leaf models are comparable with no major differences so you should be able to still install the EcoHitch # 306-X7221. This has fit the Nissan Leaf since the 2013 model year so I would be surprised if that trend didn't continue.

Another option you have is to grind the hole larger for the bolt to fit into the alignment tab as another option as well.

Hitch for 4 Bike Rack on 2019 Nissan Leaf
This hitch part # 306-X7221 is rated for 300 pounds of tongue weight. You can carry your bikes on the Allen rack as long as you stay under that 300 pound weight. I looked up the Leaf's capacitites but they aren't listed since it's not rated for towing but I talked to EcoHitch and they said this hitch can support your racks and bikes without a problem since you're only going to be carrying less than 100 pounds.

Can You Carry Four Bikes On a 2016 Nissan Leaf With Class 1 Hitch
I do have an option for you but the maximum number of bikes that can be carried on any class 1 hitch is two. The reason that you cannot carry more than two bikes has to do more with the leverage that the additional two bikes place on the trailer hitch more so than the weight. Therefore, if you want to be able to carry more than two bikes you will need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7221 which is the only option for this. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver...
