Read Door with Ladder Clearances when using Swing Away Adapters
Question:
2020 Winnebago Revel on 2019 Sprinter chassis. Ladder on rear passenger side door. Ladder extends 11.5” from door surface. Plan to use the hitch with a Hollywood 2 electric bike rack from etrailer and a 54” X 20” cargo carrier. Cargo carrier front edge is 6” from centerline of pin hole on It’s 2” shank. Will I be able to fully open the passenger side rear door Using this hitch?

Expert Reply:
The Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 extends 22-3/4 inches to the side from inside edge to inside edge. A rough estimate of the length of the rear doors of your 2020 Winnebago Revel and the distance they swing out is 40" not including the ladder. If your hitch is centered on your 2019 Sprinter chassis, then you would only be able to swing your door with the ladder out 19-3/4" when using the cargo carrier, and 21-1/4" when using a bike rack like Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. The clearance can change a couple inches depending on the exact specs of your doors. I attached a picture with the measurements of the Yakima BackSwing.
It's safe to say that you won't be able to completely swing out the rear passenger door with the BackSwing extended, but you'll still have a fair amount of space (about halfway) to move around. If that's not enough, then I recommend the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away - Passenger's Side # PVP20B which can swing away 120 degrees compared to the BackSwing's 90 degrees and has a slightly longer arm. It also comes in a driver's side # PVD20B if you don't want to deal with the added length from the ladder on your passenger side door. The other picture attached shows the measurements of the Kuat Pivot- Passenger Side.
