Expert Reply:
There are no adapters with dual receivers for 2-1/2 inch hitches that would work for this specific application. But there are other ways to carry bikes on the back of your motorhome.
For example if your motorhome has a 4 to 4-1/2 square, steel, fully welded bumper you could use # S64663, # S80605, or # S80501. I have linked videos of all 3 of these bike racks for you.
Another option, if your motorhome has a ladder in the back, is to use a ladder mounted rack such as # LA-102, or # SP501BR. I have linked videos of these racks as well.
