RV Approved Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation

Question:

Im very confused. Ive done a lot of research on your site and cannot determine EXACTLY what hitch mounted bike racks are RV approved. Can you please provide? I already purchased a Yakama rack that I think is not RV approved and am preparing to return it if that is the case. Long story short......please provide list of all hitch mounted RV approved bike racks you have to offer and I will pick and order one. Thank you

I understand your frustration. I am including a link below in which the first two pages are of motorhome rated hitch bike racks. I did see you are returning a Yakima Ridgeback hitch bike rack. I do have a recommendation that would be a similar hitch bike rack.

I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part # TH934XTR. It is motorhome approved. This rack carries four bikes. It has three points of contact when it is carrying bikes. It has an anti-rattle hitch bolt that reduces movement between the hitch bike rack and the hitch receiver. If you purchase the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device, part # THSTL2, you can lock this rack to your motorhome.

I have included product description links, video review links, and a link to our RV approved hitch bike racks below.
