Carrying Bikes While Also Flat Towing a Vehicle Behind a Motorhome
Question:
We have a Quantum RS26 class C motorhome. We would like to begin carrying 2 mountain bikes for at campground transportation but we also tow a Jeep Liberty with a Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar. Will this rack allow the use of a tow bar and dinghy vehicle?

Expert Reply:
I do have a solution for you but the RV bumper rack # S80605 would interfere with flat towing a vehicle (especially when turning). You will need to use a dual receiver, # RM-077-2, to be able to both flat tow the Jeep Liberty and carry a hitch mount bike rack. You could then use a bike rack such as the Curt # C18085 and be good to go! I have linked videos of both bike racks for you.
