RV Rated Bike Rack with the Most Clearance for a Spare Tire on the Back of a 5th Wheel

Question:

Hi, I am looking at your Hollywood bike rack model HLY64FR. Two questions: 1 I want to install it at the rear of my 5th wheel Keystone Arcadia, but there is a spare tire in the rear that extends out about 15 inches. Will this hitch or others accommodate this? 2 When I measure the hole in the RV hitch, it is about 2 1/8 when I measure my truck hitch hole, it is closer to 2 1/2. Does the bike rack have an adapter if needed?

The Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR has a hitch pin hole to closest part of the bike rack measurement of 7-1/2" which is only half the distance you are needing. The Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR has a hitch pin hole to closest part of the bike rack measurement of 13", which is the largest distance we currently have available. More than likely the only way to get a bike rack to work on your 5th wheel is going to be by removing the spare tire.

There is not a "standard" hitch mounting hole distance from the front of the hitch, So whether you have a measurement of 2-1/8" or 2-1/2" on your hitch, either bike rack above will work with the hitch.
