Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with this dual hitch receiver.by: BikeDude08/04/2022
Beefy. I have no doubts of the capacity of either side of this hitch adapter, there's plenty of weld to hold it all together. Very few options will provide minimal drop (for an off-road trailer) and minimal rise on the other side for an additional bike rack or cargo carrier. Jeeps are tough since you need to be able to open the gate. This one clears no problem. My spare is up on a slant back carrier, but I think the stock spare should clear as well. Get you a "Trimax THC200 Universal Anti-Rattle Clamp Fits 2" Hitch" and this thing is solid as stone.
by: Rylee08/16/2023
The hitch has held up over Alaskan roads towing a jeep, but it does not sit level in the receiver so the tiny little bit that it sags is exaggerated when the tow bar is connected. Paint starting to peel with wear after a year.
by: Kenneth 09/08/2023
The hitch adapter is well built and has worked flawlessly. I actually use it with my Honda Pioneer 1000-5 during duck season and it allows me to use my folding cargo carrier on top and keep a ball receiver on the bottom for pulling trailers.

Ordering was simple ;tracking was right on and hitch was delivered quickly! Excellent and quality made dual 2inch hitch I will definitely recommend this product!
by: John 06/22/2023
What’s Rocky the product work exactly how I was hoping it would. It held up by and gave me the drop by needed to tow my vehicle behind my RV so I’ve been very happy with it.
by: Michael 11/01/2023
I received the hitch quickly and it was exactly as show and described on the website.

High quality piece. Welding very good. Quick shipping. I won't worry about equipment failure flat towing our F150 Ford pickup.
by: Brian Winterton12/27/2022
This adapter does the job it is supposed to but,,,,,when using this on the motorhome, it would be better if it was a couple inches longer to get the attachment a little farther from the coach. Perhaps offering it in various lengths might be an idea. The fit is also a little bit sloppy and as a result the rack that goes into it bounces a bit and we therefore tie the bikes to the coach to stop the bounce

E-Trailer always delivers.
by: Richard 03/24/2023
Looks to be very strong and well built exept that the holes on the middle tube, which slide into your receiver,are not perfectly lined up. I had to wallow one side out a smidge to get the keeper through.Other than that, no problems.
by: Josef 12/20/2023
Shipping was super easy and fast
by: Michael 03/08/2021
Gives enough clearance for attaching the bike rack and working with the Blue Ox. Perfect solution for using more than one receiver at a time.
by: Peter10/11/2019
Perfect for my needs. I use the top hitch for a bike rack and the bottom for pulling my toad. I did need to get longer cables for my particular tow bar. You may not need to with yours. For now, I leave the receiver on the RV with the bike rack attached so I am ready to go should I need to pull my toad. I have so far driven over 3000 miles with out a problem.
by: Tom O05/18/2013
The product was well built, the receiver end was solid so the Anti-Rattle lock would not have worked as it requires hollow receiver. This is a 10,000 pound rated product. I intended to use to add my existing bike rack and Tow bar together, but the bike rack prevented the Tow bar from being added and so I had to send it back and get a different bike rack that fit on my Tow bar. I did keep one of the locks and added to my Alpha Tow bar for Anti-Rattle and Locking.

As always, I can count on etrailer's exceptional customer service and fast delivery.

Always great.
by: Tom06/04/2015
The hitch adapter is well constructed... and we're testing it out this weekend. I may want to change to an adapter with a 4" drop... The 2" drop lets the bicycle carrier interfere with the Blue Ox tow bar... I'm thinking that using the 4" drop, and turning it upside down so that the bike carrier rides higher would give more space for the Blue Ox tow bar... Not your fault, will I be able to exchange the 2" drop adapter for a 4" drop adapter?
by: Compton9404/16/2015
Doesnt fit correctly with my trailer even though the rep said it would. dont bother trying the return it though, 100% satisfaction guarantee if bull. if you try mounting to your rig, it is no longer new. eTrailer sucks.

view full answer... - Using Dual Hitch Adapter For Bike Rack and Small Travel TrailerYou could use a dual hitch adapter like the MaxxTow # MT70070, however doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half. You'll want to take a look at the ID sticker on your hitch, and find the tongue weight rating printed there. If the tongue weight of the fully loaded travel trailer plus the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on does not exceed half the listed hitch tongue weight, then you'd be safe to use an adapter like the # MT70070. If it does exceed...
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver be Used for Dirt Bike CarrierSo long as your total tongue weight is less than 400 lbs you can use the lower half of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-077-2 for flat towing and the upper half for a dirt bike or motorcycle carrier. The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 you referenced weighs 58 lbs. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well of both the Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 and Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2.
view full answer... - Can an Adapter be Used on a Tow Bar with a 2-1/2" Shank for a 2" Hitch ReceiverWe have solutions for you, but first: there are no adapters for this application. A tow bar made for 2-1/2" receivers does no allow reduction like 2" to 1-1/4" accessories do. Your only two options are to replace your factory hitch with a higher rated aftermarket one. For your 2017 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis, the Curt Class V, part # C15845, has a 2-1/2" receiver and the added benefit of having the highest towing capacity of any hitch for this vehicle. Alternatively, you can downgrade...
view full answer... - Can Either Receiver be Used for 10K Towing Capacity of Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver AdapterIf you're wanting to use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 for towing a tow dolly then yes, either receiver can be used. If you're talking about towing a trailer then we need to find you a different adapter because these are only designed for flat tow situations. An alternative solution is to use the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-404 instead. This is a much more rugged option designed for towing as it has a tow weight rating of 10,000 lbs...
view full answer... - Is Tongue Weight Capacity for Individual Receivers on Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for TowThe tongue weight rating for the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-077-2 is for both receivers. If you were to only use one then you can load it up to 400 lbs but if you are using both then it's a combination. The weight rating has more to do with the shank than the actual receivers so the shank itself can only handle 400 lbs. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - How to Carry a Bike Rack and Flat-Tow a VehicleThere is not a maximum length ball mount or hitch extension that can be used in a flat-towing setup. However, the further out you go, the less tongue weight the ball mount or extension will be able to carry which is not really an issue for a flat-towing setup but is something you need to keep in mind. The best option we have for you to flat-tow your vehicle and carry a bike rack is with the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-2 for 2-1/4" rise/drop, part # RM-077-4 for...

You definitely will want to move your Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 bike rack off of your flat towed Buick because this rack is not approved for use on the rear of a flat towed vehicle. That means if something were to happen to your rack when it was on a flat towed...

- Can Dual Hitch Extension be Used to Carry Bikes Behind RV While Flat Towing a 2005 Dodge DakotaThe 2 dual hitch adapters that you want to look into are the Roadmaster options because they were designed for the exact reason for what you are wanting to do. Part # RM-077-4 has a 4" Rise/Drop while part # RM-077-2 has a 2-1/4" Rise/Drop. You will want to be sure that you choose the one that allows you to flat tow your 2005 Dodge Dakota level (see attached article). Both adapters have the same Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of 400 lbs and Gross Towing Weight (GTW) capacity of 10,000 lbs....
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... - Solution for Towing Small Trailer and Carrying Hitch Bike Rack at Rear of VehicleI have a solution for you but the # RM-077-2 that you referenced was not designed for use when towing a trailer so we can't recommend it for this application. Instead you'd want the part # D210 which has a ball mount platform on the bottom of it and a hitch opening up top you can use for your e-bike rack.
view full answer... - Recommended RV Bike Rack And Base Plate Kit For 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500We do offer a dual hitch receiver adapter you can use for a bike rack and also for the tow bar on your RV. The adapter I recommend is the Roadmaster, part # RM-077-2. This adapter has two 2-inch receivers and has a gross towing weight capacity of 10,000-lbs. The adapter does have a tongue weight capacity of 400 lbs. You will need to use a bike rack that is designed to be able to be used behind an RV. The rack I recommend is the Swagman Original, part # S64152-2. This is a 3-bike carrier....
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch # RM-077-2 be Used When Flat Towing Grand CherokeeThe Roadmaster dual hitch adapter part # RM-077-2 would work well for flat towing your Grand Cherokee with an Avail tow bar. It was designed for flat towing and has a 10k weight capacity so it would easily handle the weight of your vehicle. It would add 9-1/8 inches to the distance between your RV hitch and the tow bar.
view full answer... - How To Carry Bikes On Back of Motorhome While Towing a CarIn order to carry a bike rack while also flat-towing a vehicle you'll need a dual hitch adapter, the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-2, part # RM-077-4, or part # RM-077-6. Then for a bike rack, you'd just need to make sure it is rated for use on a motorhome for which we have several options, the Hollywood Racks RV Rider 2 Bike Platform Rack part # HLY64FR is what I recommend. I have attached a full list of options below.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter For Tow Dolly And Bike RackWe do have a dual hitch receiver adapter that will allow you to use your tow dolly while also carrying your bike rack. The only thing you need to know is the amount of rise or drop you'll need, which will allow you to choose the right one. To determine this, just measure from the ground to the top of your motorhome's receiver, and then measure from the ground to the bottom of your dolly's coupler, and the difference you get is the rise or drop you'll require. If your motorhome's hitch...

The rack can handle two bikes weighing up to 80 lbs apiece with tires up to 5 inches wide, so it'll work on standard or fat bikes. The rack includes keyed alike hitch, cable and retaining hook locks for theft deterrence. The rack is designed for use on a motorhome, but SHOULD NOT be used on a towed camper or vehicle. The Thule # TH92BJ Doubletrack is a great bike rack, but it isn't rated for...
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch for Bike Rack on 2022 Ford E450 Chassis Class C MotorhomeYes, I see why you why you are looking for a front mount hitch, it is the perfect solution for your situation. I reached out to our contact at Draw-Tite about their option for front mount trailer hitch, # 65053. It is a confirmed fit for earlier year models of the E-Series but they replied that they do not yet have a solution for the 2022 model. My go suggestion for a situation such as yours is to recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6. Or...
view full answer... - Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter CapacityThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 has a gross towing weight of 10,000 lbs and tongue weight of 400 lbs. This is intended for flat towing, otherwise the adapter will reduce your hitch capacity by 50%. Since you're using a winch I recommend the Replacement Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-303 instead. This will have no impact on your hitch capacity and has a 10,000 lb gross towing weight with a 1,500 lb max tongue weight capacity. If you need an even higher...
view full answer... - Curt Multi-Purpose Ball Mount RecommendationI think the closest thing to the Roadmaster Dual Hitch part # RM-077-2 that you referenced that would let you tow a trailer and have a hitch opening above it for an accessory like a bike rack would be the Curt Ball Mount and Hitch Receiver part # D210. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also. Although the # RM-077-2 looks as if it would have plenty of capacity for a trailer towing situation, Roadmaster does not recommend this for any use but flat towing, and...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Carrying Bikes While Towing a Trailer at the Same TimeThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, # RM-077-2, is for tow bar use only and cannot be used with any type of trailer. But there may be another option. You may be able to use a towing bike rack, like # C18013, depending on how many bikes you wish to carry. I have included a link to our towing bike tracks for you to view. Please note that the weight of the rack plus the weight of the bikes will count against the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch. Another option is to install...
view full answer... - Can I Mount a Winch On Top of a Dual Hitch Receiver?Yes, you will be able to use the top receiver opening on item # RM-077-2 for a hitch mounted winch to pull logs onto your trailer. I recommend going with the ComeUp Cub ATV Winch item # CU123933 with Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches. This winch comes with a 50 foot synthetic cable. I also recommend getting a winch power cable extension. Item # BDW20219 is 15 feet long extension with quick connectors on both ends.
view full answer... - Options to Carry Scooter on Motorhome While Flat TowingWe have a front mount receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2007 Itasca Spirit that's built on a Ford E-450 cutaway. The Draw-Tite # 65001. I've linked a video of the installation for you. If you prefer the dual hitch receiver we have two options that might work for you. The Roadmaster # RM-077-2 will provide 2-1/4 inches or rise and drop and the # RM-077-4 will give you 4 inches.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter for Flat Towing and Bike RackThere is a dual hitch receiver adapter that will work for what you are looking to do but there is not one with a 3/4 inch drop to make the lower receiver the same level as the height on your motorhome's hitch like you were wanting. That's okay because you only need to be within three inches from level to safely tow, and the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars - 2-1/4" Rise/Drop # RM-077-2 will have you 1-1/2 inches below level, which is well within the safe zone (see accompanying...

This will provide an extension in addition to the additional receiver tube opening.
