Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with the dual hitch receiver.by: Steven 04/14/2024
Perfect for my application.
by: Jeffrey02/27/2024
Everything was delivered fast and in perfect condition.
by: Greg08/30/2023
Works great! I use it on my motorhome to carry my bikes with a Rocky Mounts Carrier and flat tow my car with my Blue Ox system. It places the bike carrier at an optimal height over the front of the car but my may be different for other bike carriers. Very sturdy and seems to be quality all around.
by: Bob J12/26/2020
Works great. We're towing a jeep and have a bike rack behind our motor home.

They have not remedied the problem of the rounded receiver. Just bought the 10” rise adapter, absolutely built tough as nails. However, the two have the duel hitch receiver adapter receivers are rolled corner 2” stock. Will not allow 2” square hitch to go inside. Very disappointed as other post stated that problem was resolved.
by: Don11/13/2023
Excellent workmanship and quality but a little overpriced but not bad definitely will be purchasing more roadmaster accessories
by: Craig 09/15/2023
Great quality. Used for lowering bike carrier that will be used for 2 electric bikes(55lbs each). Reordered same product in 6 inch drop. This should be perfect.
by: James04/09/2018
I ordered this to adapt my bike rack to my hitch while I flat towed my car with a Blue Ox Aventa tow bar. I was concerned about turn radius and I stumped the etrailer customer service.
I ended up with about 18” of clearance and 47” from the adapter to car.
I feel it is sufficient.
by: Bruce02/21/2019
Wow, excellent customer service. Thank you Jennifer is rare in our world today to say that. Hitch adapter shipped same day on a late afternoon order. No extra effort; just the way this company refreshingly does business. Part arrived promptly and well packaged. No nicks or scratches on the part. Truly was well stored and handled at their warehouse. Following are some pictures of the hitch adapter installed.
by: George 06/20/2023
This specific double hitch is a must when using a Roadmaster 2 tow system and a bike rack. The hitch rases the bike rack up high enough to properly use the tow system.
by: Frank12/18/2018
I just received hitch today. Pleasantly surprised that it actually arrived earlier than expected. It is every bit as described. Strong and sturdy. Cannot go wrong with Roadmaster. Can’t wait to hit the road. Thank you Natalie with etrailer.com. for your support and quick response.
by: Billy07/23/2023
Shipped alot quicker than anticipated. Great fit for my application. Excellent service. Easy return of previous item. Thank you.

Well made product. Still working great.
by: Aubrey 03/08/2023
Very impressed with the quality of the hitch. We purchased a new motor home and needed a different height hitch. Had trouble finding the size we needed until we checked trailer. Thank you for meeting our needs.
by: Scott 10/15/2023
Appropriately heavy for the job!
by: Mario12/29/2022
Great product! We are able to Mount our bike rack on top and our tow bar in the bottom. Great service from etrailer.com
by: Gregory 11/05/2022
I have purchased four front mount hitches from etrailer and quite satisfied with product quality, fit and ease of installation. I purchase the dual receiver adapter to accommodate a winch and be able to use a front tow ball without the extra effort of removing winch to use ball. As usual quality was not an issue with the adapter. The slider on the adapter was solid stock rather than thick wall box tubing lending to superior strength. Welds and engineering are, as always, exceptional. I highly recommend etrailer products.
by: Stephen 09/23/2023
Great site. Easy to get around.
by: Sheila05/12/2018
I received this product in record time. This is a quality product that solved the problem of using both my bike rack and cargo carrier on the back of my RV. I will definitely be visiting etrailer.com for my future needs.

Glad you like the dual hitch adapter! The adapter has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, which means that the cargo carrier, whats carried on it, the bike rack and the bikes cannot weigh more than 400 lbs. This figure will be lower if the tongue weight capacity of your RV is less than 400 lbs.
by: Steve G08/18/2020
The hitch is heavy-duty and works as expected. We can mount a bicycle rack or an extra
luggage rack on the back of the RV and still pull our tow vehicle without any problems

The hitch adapter still works great! No problems at all.
by: Bill C08/26/2019
This was the perfect product to get the hitch height of my Class A gasser to the right level to tow a car flat behind it. I just used it this weekend and it has worked flawlessly. I forgot all about it, which i guess it what should happen with this type of equipment. etrailer is extremely helpful on the web page and the phone and I have used them for several purchases since getting my old Class C five years ago.
BTW, this thing is heavy! The receiver tongue is solid steel, not a tube. It has become a permanent fixture in the hitch.
by: Nick F.06/21/2019
This hitch adapter works great! It allows me to use my bike rack with my cargo rack so we can haul our bikes along with all of our other stuff when we head out on our summer vacation. I also use it regularly as a hitch extender when I need to haul something in my truck with the tailgate down, and we want to take the bike rack. Only, drawback is it is pretty heavy duty (probably more than what I need), but if you are using it with a heavier trailer (e.g., camper or big boat), it probably should be that heavy duty.
by: Steve B12/06/2019
Purchased this to use on a 2016 Winnebago Adventurer 37F towing a 2013 Honda CR-V. Attached a Schwegman 2 bike rack on top with a Blue Ox towbar below. Works great, plenty of clearance between the bikes and the car. Only issue is the hole for the pin when attached to the RV could be a little larger. The blue ox locking pins are a tight fit
by: Jerry 07/22/2022
This receiver is strong and with the anti-rattle stabilizer has been a great addition to our RV trips to add a bike rack and be able to tow a vehicle.
by: Jake P06/14/2019
Great product, I really love this thing! It made it possible to mount a winch to pull cars onto my trailer. Quality is great! Very solid welds.

I have used this hitch adapter for a Winch that I can use to pull cars up onto my trailer. AWSOME PRODUCT! It keeps re-inventing itself every time I use it.
by: Henry H02/28/2021
I bought this for our class A. We pull a small Fiat and needed a second receiver output to mount a ham radio antenna. This mount is rated at 10,000 lbs and exceeds the rating on our hitch which is what we needed. It works perfectly for our purposes. This is not the first hitch related component we have purchased from ETrailer. They offer quality goods.

- Does Hitch Adapter Reduce Hitch Capacity By 50 Or Vehicle Capacity By 50?There sure is! First you are correct that according to the owner's manual of your 2017 Subaru Forester you are limited to a 200lbs tongue weight. Since you have the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98839 installed on your 2017 Subaru Forester has a 525lb tongue weight rating you can use a dual hitch adapter # MT70070 which will reduce the tongue weight capacity by 50%, and not the capacity of your vehicle. This will still allow you...
view full answer... - What Adapter To Raise Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier On a 2019 Toyota RAV4For raising your hitch mounted cargo carrier on your 2019 Toyota RAV4 I recommend the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-6 over the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 due to the Roadmaster # RM-077-6 being about 1 inch taller. If you need even more rise you can use them Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-8. Keep in mind that the use of any trailer hitch adapter will reduce the tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch receiver by 50%. For towing a trailer I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter and Cargo Carrier for Flat Towing/Carrying Bike Rack and Cargo CarrieYou can use a Dual Hitch Adapter like # RM-077-2 so you can simultaneously carry a cargo carrier/bike rack and flat tow. There are a couple things to keep in mind, though... Using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by half. Therefore, if the hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs, using the adapter will reduce that capacity to 175 lbs. That's not a big deal for the flat towed vehicle, because flat towed vehicles are a rolling load that don't exert any...
view full answer... - eBike Rack and Dual Hitch Adapter Recommendation For Carrying Bikes While Flat Towing VehicleFor the bike rack, you cannot go wrong with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2, part # HLY74FR. 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... - Solution For Carrying 2 Regular Bikes And 1 Electric Bike On 44 Foot Toy Hauler 5th WheelThere are only a few bike racks that are built strong enough to be compatible with 5th wheel trailers / toy haulers, so your options are limited. That said, the only 3-bike carrier that will work is the Swagman Original - 3 Bike Rack for 2" Trailer Hitches # S64152-2; this also comes in a 4-bike version # S64400. This bike rack is not suitable for electric bikes as the weight capacity is only 35lbs per bike and your E-bike probably weighs more than that even when the battery pack is removed....
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster High Low Adapter be Used with Weight DistributionThe Roadmaster High Low adapters like the # RM-077-8 that you referenced can not be used with weight distribution as they aren't rated for use when towing trailers. Only when flat towing vehicle which do not have tongue weight. If the goal was to have a second hitch opening to allow for use of a weight distribution system and carry a bike rack we do have the Lippert Jack-It part # LC429756 which attaches to the mounting bracket of the trailer jack and carries a bike rack above the trailer...
view full answer... - Will The Roadmaster Tow Defender Work With Dual Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack? To use the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 with a Dual hitch receiver you will need to use the 8" # RM-077-8 or larger spread receivers. This will provide you with the distance required between the receivers for the defender screen to mount to your Tow Bar # RM-676.

Yes, you can use one of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters listed below with a Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR. 2" or 4" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-4 2" or 6" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-6 2" or 8" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-8 2" or 10" of Rise/Drop # RM-077-10 Do note the bike rack is 32" long from the center of the hitch pin and Tow Bars # RM-676 are 52" long as a reference.

For the first issue, if you are using a compatible hitch receiver like the Draw-Tite # 75601 with a hitch extender like the Curt Hitch Extender # C45791, it is important to note that the use of an extender reduces the overall weight capacity to 50%....
view full answer... - Flat Tow Vehicle While Also Using Bike CarrierYes, this is exactly what the MaxxTow Dual Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches, # MT70070 is intended for. However, keep in mind that per manufacturer this reduces your hitch rating by 50%. The extender has a weight rating of 400 lbs. tongue weight and gross trailer weight rating of 4,000 lbs. so please compare this to the vehicle you are flat towing. While the # MT70070 is designed to allow you to add an accessory such as a bike rack and use the tow bar, you cannot use an additional...

- How to Use Both a Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier on the Same 2 Inch Hitch I do have an option for you but we do not have anything that can attach to the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver part # MPG544 and move the connection point for the 2nd receiver tube multiple feet in the air. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-8 which unlike the Malone adapter, will not reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. This adapter has a distance of 10-1/4" between the two hitch pin holes (see photo). I...

- How to Flat Tow Vehicle and Transport Two e-Bikes Behind MotorhomeThe best way to flat tow your Fiat 500 or Mini Cooper and also transport your two e-bikes is with a Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter like # RM-077-6. This adapter is specifically designed for this application, providing you with a 2 inch receiver on the bottom for attaching a tow bar and an additional 2 inch receiver on top to attach a hitch-mounted accessory like a bike rack. As long as the combined tongue weight of your vehicle and bike rack doesn't exceed the adapter's 400 pound...
view full answer... - Which 8 Inch Rise Trailer Hitch Adapter For a 2012 Hyundai TusconI have another option but there is currently not a 7 inch rise 1 1/4 to 2 inch hitch adapter. The Highest Rise adapter we have is the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver with 5" Rise # HT5R. The only other option is to change your trailer hitch receiver to the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit # 75717 which is has a 2x2 receiver and is designed for your 2012 Hyundai Tuscon. With a 2x2 receiver you can use the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver...
view full answer... - What Size Dual Hitch Adapter Is Needed To Carry A Bike Rack Above The Roadmaster Tow Defender? I recommend using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-8 which separates the receivers 8" from bottom edge to top edge of the different receiver. The Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 sits roughly 4" above the top edge of the receiver and depending on your bike rack this ensures you have enough room to easily move the screen out of the way to disconnect your flat towed vehicle rather than having to unload the bikes over the front of your flat towed vehicle before you can disconnect....
view full answer... - Solution to Allow Towing Motorcycle Trailer and Carrying Motorcycle CarrierWe may have a similar solution that would work but the Roadmaster dual hitch adapter part # RM-077-8 that you referenced can't be used with a trailer as it was designed for use with a tow bar. Instead the Curt # D210 would be a better option as it has a ball mount platform for towing the trailer and a hitch opening above it for the hitch carrier. The weight capacity of the # D210 checks out based on what you listed as well.

- Can a Cargo Carrier Be Used While Also Flat Towing? As long as you RV Bumper is rated to carry the weight of one of the Cargo Carriers # e99050, # e99049 or # e96ZR and the receiver sits far enough below your bumper for your tow bar there is no reason you would not be able to use them together.

I'd recommend using the CR Brophy # HT5R along with the # HT02. The # HT5R is a 1-1/4 to 2 inch adapter with a 5 inch rise. You'd use the # HT02 to reduce the 2 inch receiver on the # HT5R back down to a 1-1/4 inch adapter. You'll need one # PC3 hitch pin to retain the # HT02 in the adapter, and one # PC2 hitch...

You could use a part like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver, part # RM-077-8, which offers an 8 inch rise and would give you two 2 inch receiver hitches to work with. The top one would absolutely have to be the bike rack, while the bottom would be your cargo carrier's shank. You would then use an extender in the bottom port to clear most...

- Dual Hitch Adapter Recommendation to Tow Small Trailer and Carry Spare Wheel Carrier 6715The best solution we have would be the Curt dual hitch adapter part # D210 which has a hitch opening on top that you can use for the Draw Tite hitch carrier part # 6715 and a ball mount platform on the bottom that you could use for towing your trailer. As long as you are within the capacities of the adapter you'd be fine. The ball mount has a trailer towing capacity of 7,500 lbs and the hitch opening has a capacity of 500 lbs tongue weight. The Roadmaster adapter you mentioned can not...
view full answer... - Solution for Towing Pop Up Level and Also Carrying Bike Rack with YukonFirst we should determine how much drop you'd need to get your trailer level. Basically you need to measure from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and then measure from the bottom lip of the coupler down to the ground and compare the two measurements. That difference is how much rise/drop you'd need. From there we can go and determine what would be best bike rack solution. For example we have the Curt # D210 has a hitch opening for a bike rack above a ball mount that has...
