Solution for Towing Pop Up Level and Also Carrying Bike Rack with Yukon
Question:
When towing my pop-up with my Yukon, the trailer is at a pretty substantial angle do to the height difference between the trailer and the truck. Ultimately, I am looking from a hitch, that also has a dual adapter, which would allow me to add a bike rack. Do you have something available?

First we should determine how much drop you'd need to get your trailer level. Basically you need to measure from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and then measure from the bottom lip of the coupler down to the ground and compare the two measurements. That difference is how much rise/drop you'd need.
From there we can go and determine what would be best bike rack solution.
For example we have the Curt # D210 has a hitch opening for a bike rack above a ball mount that has a drop of 2-1/4 inches.
Another option is the Jack-It # LC429756 which attaches to the trailer jack mounting bracket which gives you opportunity to run the drop you need and carry a bike rack.
