Dual Hitch Adapter for Flat Towing 4,200 lb Vehicle and Carrying Bike Rack
Question:
I want to safely flat tow a car and luggage with total weight of approximately 4200 pounds and also have the ability to add a bike rack and two bicycles. What is your best recommendation?

Expert Reply:
The best solution we have would be to use the dual-hitch adapter part # RM-077-6 which would be the only adapter we offer with enough capacity for flat towing a 4,200 lb vehicle and has upper hitch opening that you can use for a cargo carrier or bike rack. If your tow vehicle is going to be a motorhome you'll need to be sure you are using a bike rack rated for the rougher ride quality at the rear of a motorhome like the Swagman XC part # S64650.
