When considering what bike rack to use with your small motorhome, it is important to consider 2 important factors: the weight of your e-bike and whether the rack is approved to withstand the extra torque and force exerted when mounted on your motorhome.

I recommend the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches # HLY64FR. The RV Rider comes with an impressive 80-pound per-bike weight capacity and fits tires up to 5 inches wide. Also, with the independently-adjustable cradles, you do not need a bike frame adapter bar like the # HRBA-PRO if you have a step-thru frame or a women's bike frame. If you have a hitch installed, I recommend making sure that the length from the center of the pinhole to the outside face of the rear bumper does not exceed 7-1/2 inches.

If you need a hitch on your motorhome, I recommend the Adjustable Trailer Hitch for RVs # 13703. With this hitch, you can adjust the brackets from 22-72 inches wide. In order to make sure that this hitch is compatible, I recommend measuring your motorhome's frame from left-to-right.
