RV Hitch and RV Hitch 2-Bike Carrier for Use on 2017 Heartland Bighorn 3970RD 5th Wheel
Question:
We have a 2017 Heartland Bighorn 3970RD and would like to attach a bike rack. Thinking the Swagman XC-2 and the Curt Hitch Receiver #13703, your thoughts? This combination should hold two bikes, correct? With the Swagman XC-2, we would have the option to use at the rear of our truck

Expert Reply:
The Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64650 is not rated for use on a 5th wheel such as your 2017 Heartland Bighorn 3970RD but their Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack # S44FR is perfect for use in a hitch like the Curt # 13703 mounted on the rear of your 5th wheel. And it can also be used on any passenger vehicle that has a 2-inch hitch.
The Dispatch and all RV-rated hitch bike racks appear on the page I linked for you.
