Sounds like what you're looking for are bike racks that can accommodate fat bike tires, have a heavy weight capacity for your electric bikes, AND are sturdy enough to handle the extra road stress on a fifth wheel. That's a tall order, but I actually have TWO great recommendations for you.

The first is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR with a separate Fit Tire Bike Adapter # S64679. It has a weight capacity of 70 lbs per bike, and can be folded up when no bikes are loaded. It uses frame mount hooks though, so you might need the frame adapter bar # SR0500 for your Rad bikes if the hook doesn't come down low enough.

My second recommendation is the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR. This is an AWESOME bike rack with 80lbs per bike capacity. It uses adjustable clamps that lock around the vertical tubing which allow you to mount your bike without a bike adapter bar.

If I had to choose, I prefer the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR with how it already has everything you need included. Just make sure it fits on your 5th wheel trailer hitch which has to have these specs:
Minimum trailer hitch tongue weight: 350 lbs
Minimum vehicle length: 24'
Minimum GVW = 5,000 lbs
