Platform Bike Rack Recommendation to Use at the Rear of a Coach House 23 Foot Motorhome
Question:
I have been told that Thule will not warranty or recommend any rack that is mounted on vehicles that the hitch is more then 3 feet behind the rear axle. Did you know this? Coach House 23 foot motor home

Expert Reply:
Thule does not recommend any of their bike racks to be used at the back of a motorhome like you have. The reason is that at the rear of a motorhome the ride quality is much rougher than at the rear of a non-RV vehicle. We have racks that are rated for this application though.
The Swagman Platform Bike Rack part # S64663 is a somewhat similar platform bike rack that would work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
