Helpful Expert Reply:
If you already have a hitch on your Class C Gulf Stream motorhome you would not have to use the bumper mounted hitch that comes with the Swagman Bike Rack part # S64663.
This rack has a distance of 8 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the wheel hoops. If you measure from the center of your hitch's pin hole out to the furthest point out at the rear of your motorhome and that measurement is less than 8 inches you would have the clearance to install this rack.
This is an RV rated bike rack rated for the rougher ride associated with motorhomes so it would work well for you.
