Solution to Allow 2012 Honda Ridgeline Towing Camper to Carry 4 Bikes

Question:

Id like to use this to tow my pop-up camper and a bike rack with 4 bikes already own the bike rack: Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount with 2inch Receiver for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers - 7,500 lbs Item # D210 My question is: Will this work? My fear is in tight turns the camper will hit the bikes. I see pics of folks doing this with 2 bikes, but cant find any pics of folks doing this with 4 bikes. Didnt want to buy it, and then have the hassle and cost of shipping it back as a return. Any thoughts? Other than dont make tight turns ha-ha Thanks, My truck: 2012 Honda Ridgeline towing capacity 5,000lbs My camper: 2000 Coleman/Fleetwood Sun Valley GVWR 3,000lbs, dry weight close to 2,000lbs, actual weight the way we load it closer to 2,500lbs.

I have a solution for you, but the reason you don't see any 4 bike racks used with the Curt dual hitch adapter part # D210 is because there would be clearance issues. Another option you might consider is a front hitch installed on your 2012 Honda Ridgeline like the Curt part # 33328 which is a confirmed fit.

You'd have a bit more length added to the front of your setup but you'd have a way that would be easier than with the # D210.
