Recommendation to Tow Outback T@B Tear Camper and Carry Bike Rack

Question:

We have a 2015 Mazda CX 9. We have ordered a T@B trear camper Outback S. We are looking for a way to transport our bikes that we can use when we tow our camper but can also use when we are not towing the camper. Thinking of Kurt Beta #B202-2 with the Curt 2inch receiver D210. Will that work or do you recommend something else?

The Curt Dual Ball Mount part # D210 is a great option to allow you to carry a bike rack while towing a trailer. I checked out pictures of your T@B trear camper Outback S and it appears to have a low sitting trailer jack and enough clearance for a bike rack to clear the front of the trailer.

The Kuat Beta part # B202-2 would then work well too as it has a shorter shank which would work great with the bike rack too.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
