Carrying Bike Rack and Spare Tire Carrier on Front Mounted Hitch on Motorhome

Expert Reply:

Even with a dual hitch extender like # MPG544, you would not be able to fit both a bike rack and a hitch mounted spare tire carrier into your hitch receiver. Also using a hitch extender will reduce your tongue weight capacity by half.

Instead I recommend going with a hitch mounted universal spare tire carrier # C31006. This carrier does not have a specific weight limit. As long as you can get two bolts through the mounting plate of part # C31006 you would be able to secure your spare to the carrier. This carrier can accept a wide variety of bolt patterns and should fit your wheel. Then you can carrying your bikes on a ladder rack like # SP501BR.

We do have a pass through carrier, # RM-195225, but not for your tire size.
