Can I Carry A Hitch Bike Rack On My RV
Question:
Wondering if there is any reason that I can not mount the bike rack in a hitch on the back of my motorhome
asked by: Jean
Expert Reply:
There is no reason this will not work, provided that your hitch bike rack is rated for use on a RV, and your hitch receiver/RV has a maximum tongue weight to support the hitch bike rack and the bikes you will be carrying. For example, the Hollywood Racks SE Bike Rack, part # HLY84FR, is rated for use on motorhomes. In order for the SE to fit your motorhome the center of the hitch pin hold to the edge of your bumper needs to be less than the 7-1/2". The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, part # TH934XTR, you connected to your question that distance needs to be 13-1/2".
