Folding Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Rear of RV

Question:

All the reviews on this product are for SUVs, and I see one comment about not being able to use with a travel trailer or RV bumper, but can I use it on a motorhome trailer hitch? I want something that will carry 4 bikes but can fold out of the waywe only need to carry bikes a few miles a day from bike route to campsite on a cross country bike tour, so Id like the carrier to be able to fold away. Thanks!

At the rear of a motorhome the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer which exaggerates the movement of the trailer when hitting bumps. Because of that only a few bike racks were designed to be reinforced enough for that type of use.

We have the Curt 4 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting, Item # C18087 which is motorhome approved would work well for you. Check out the review video for this rack that I attached.
