Best Swing Away Bike Rack to Allow Rear Doors to Open on 2020 Winnebago Travato Ram Promaster

Question:

Hi, I am looking for a hitch bike rack that will allow me to open both doors on a 2020 Winnebago travato which is a dodge Promaster 2019 chassis. Will this rack allow fully opening the doors with no bikes on it? If not do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Based on my research, the Thule Apex Swing TX # TH9027XT will allow the rear doors to partially open on your 2020 Winnebago Travato with a 2019 Ram Promaster chassis.

The distance from the center of the hitch receiver to the upright mast on the Apex Swing when fully swung out is approximately 33 inches and from what I was able to find online each door on your Promaster is just under 37 inches wide. Therefore, you will be able to gain decent access to the back of the van but you will not be able to swing the passenger rear door all the way out.

A slightly better option is the Yakima FullSwing # Y02465, which swings out a bit more (36 inches) so it will be a better choice as it will allow you to open up the door at just about a 90 degrees.

I have included a review video for you to check out at the bottom of the page.
