Recommended e-Bike Carrier for 5th Wheel Trailer 2 Hitch Receiver

Question:

I am looking for an ebike hitch rack to use on my truck and fifth wheel. You rate the racks for their use but I have not found any racks rated for use with a fifth wheel. Do you have any that are rated for a fifth wheel? Thanks

I have a solution for you on this, and the reason you're having so much trouble finding these racks is that they're not very common because of the amount of motion that occurs on the back end of a 5th wheel trailer. Racks that are rated for use on the rear of a 5th wheel trailer will have a thicker shank that has been tested to handle the added stress that occurs back there.

With that said, the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR can be used on a 2" hitch on the back of a 5th wheel, RV or travel trailer or your Jeep Gladiator and provide you with a durable and secure platform rack. The OnRamp can handle bikes up to 66-lbs each and does not require bike frame adapter bars if your electric bikes have an aggressive step through frame. The OnRamp comes with a ramp integrated into the design to allow you to load up your heavier bikes much easier.

I've linked a short review video of this rack for you to check out.
