Recommended Bike Rack For RoadTrek Zion RV With Double Rear Doors
Question:
Thanks. A platform rack wont serve my needs. I need a more traditional 2 bike upright design similar to the S64910-2. I only have one bike.

RV compatible bike racks do not have the ability to tilt for cargo access and the Thule Roadway you mentioned is not an RV-rated bike rack. They have to be more durable because of the location on the back of an RV, so the features like tilt are not a viable option.
Your best option for access is to use a platform rack and remove the bikes. For this I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # S44FR that has a folding mast where the bikes are held by the frame with a padded hook. This will allow you to easily load and unload your bikes and give you access to your double rear doors.
