Front Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Thor Chateau 22E E-350 Cutaway Chassis
Question:
Which front receiver would fit a ThorChateau 22E. 350 chassis? With that which of your bikes racks should I get with it. Want to carry two bikes on the front of my motor home.

Expert Reply:
For a front hitch confirmed to fit the E-350 RV Cutaway chassis of your Thor Chateau 22E you would want the Draw Tite part # 65053.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.
You will want to check with your local DOT to determine if there are any restrictions on bike racks on the front of your vehicle. Your headlights may be blocked and your front license plate will be less visible.
