Question:

One comments says that this is no good for rvs and another says yes. I have a 5th wheel, would this be ok? I have a fat tire bike and my wife has a regular bike , but next year or 2,we’re thinking of getting ebikes. Is this ok for back 2 “ hitch on 5th wheel?

I do have an option for you, but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR would not be good for what you are needing. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HLY84FR is rated for use on a motorhome but not a 5th wheel. The racks are tested under certain conditions to be rated for that use. So if the rack is not rated for a 5th wheel, then it either hasn't been tested for that or more likely it has failed those tests.

The bike rack that I recommend that is rated for use on a 5th wheel and will support not only your current bikes but electric as well if you make the switch is the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR. The Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR is rated for use on your 5th wheel and can hold bikes weighing up to 70 lbs. per bike. It can fit bikes with tires up to 3" wide, so you will need to add the Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679 for your fat tire bike. The Fat Tire Adapter Kit # S64679 will let you hold a bike with tires up to 5" wide.
