I'm happy to provide you with the weights for your RV bike rack options.
First, let me clarify a couple of things. Not all bike racks are rated for use on the back of an RV due to the size of the vehicle and the added bounce as well as torque on the rear hitch and bike carrier. For this reason none the bike racks you listed are RV compatible.
For a RV compatible bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # S44FR with a weight of 51 lbs and the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # LGA77FR with a weight of 75 lbs. These are great hitch mounted options that will hold your bikes by either the frame or by the front wheel.
I've linked the page to all of your RV compatible options, but I personally recommend the Escapee over all the other options. It includes the hitch lock and the bike cable lock that many other options don't. it also has the wheel trays and front tire hook so there is no contact with the frame of your bikes.
