RV-Rated Hitch Bike Rack for Use on 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

I am wanting to put the swagman rv approved dispatch on the back of my fifth wheel. My fifth wheel has a 1 1/4inch receiver. Would I be able to use this bike rack?

RV-rated bike racks are usually made only for stronger 2-inch hitches and this is what the Swagman Dispatch hitch bike rack # S44FR fits. It would be unusual for a 5th wheel trailer to have a smaller 1-1/4-inch hitch installed so you might want to double check your measurement, just to be safe, since the Dispatch is an excellent choice in a platform rack that works on both trailers and vehicles.

If you do in fact have a 1-1/4-inch hitch then we do not have any 2-bike carrier that use a 1-1/4" hitch bike rack that is approved to go on a fifth wheel.
