I have attached a diagram showing the dimensions of the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks item # SAR36VR. The arm extends out 23" from the center of the receiver hitch. It will most likely not be long enough to reach past your rear door with a bike rack attached. None of the extending arms are designed to fully accommodate opening both rear doors. The passenger door may be limited to slightly less than 90 degrees. The drivers side rear door will be able to open to its full capacity when the sway away hitch extender is opened.

The proper extension for your setup would be the one that allows you to have clearance of your hitch mounted accessory and also allows you to still be able to pull the steps down. If the receiver tube sticks out past the camper too far then you will…

Answer 9

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…
