Availability of an Adapter to Tow a Car with a Tow Bar and Carry a Bike Rack
Question:
On this model Swagman, where it mounted to a tow barwhere you recommend the 80232, i.e., the maleinch part that goes in the hitch receiver. Do they make a male/male draw bar, just straight no place for a ball, or any , so I could use this bike rack and then use a tow bar to tow a car?

Expert Reply:
What you need would be something like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, # RM-077-4. You would then use a bike rack with a regular shank like # S64670, in the top receiver and the tow bar in the bottom receiver. This one has a 4 inch drop/rise.
We also have # RM-077-2, which has a 2 inch drop/rise.
I have included a link to the installation details and a video review of the bike rack for you.
