Question:

Hi - I have Dodge 2019 Promaster 3500 van and I have a Rackattach swing arm mounted to the 2” hitch with a Thule bike rack then attached to the Rackattach. Will this carrier be able to be ed into the Rackattach and then be able to mount the bike rack behind the spare tire carrier - hitch Rackattach swing arm Roadmaster tire carrier Thule bike rack?

The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 can be used with a bike rack with swing-away adapter but each of the adapters are going to limit/reduce weight capacity. The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier in particular will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 33% and it weighs 40 lbs so these are figures you need to keep in mind.
