Solution for Carrying Bike Rack and Towing Trailer with 2011 Fleetwood Tioga Motorhome
Question:
I have a 26ft Fleetwood Tioga motor home 2011. Do you have a 6 inch drop ball mount with a 2 inch receiver for a bike rack. All I can find is a 2 inch drop with a 2 inch receiver. Pulling a car carrier so if you dont have could I use an extender with bike rack receiver and use the D28 to get the 6 inch drop. Want to make sure thats safe. Thanks

I checked out pictures of your 2011 26 ft Fleetwood Tioga and I believe I came up with a much easier option with the Stromberg Carlson Bike Rack part # LA-102. This will give you a way to carry your bikes that attaches to the ladder at the back of your RV and frees up your hitch to use the # D-28 ball mount and you'd be set. There isn't a similar dual hitch adapter that has the drop you'd need. And using an additional hitch adapter would not be wise due to added leverage and length.
I attached a review video for the bike rack for more info as well.
