Recommended Bike Rack for Electric Bikes on a 5th Wheel Trailer

Question:

Hi: We need an eBike rack for our 5th wheel. 2021 Cougar 24RDS. I see that you indicate the Yakima Y36FR for our camper but I dont see any experiential reviews - and I even see a response from you team indicating this is NOT gonna work for us. Help! And Thank you.

The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR is rated for use on a 5th wheel trailer and can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 40 lbs. per bike when used on your 5th wheel (66 lbs. when used on a vehicle). It can also accommodate wheels up to 3.25" wide or tire sizes up to 26x 4.5", 27.5" x 4.5" and 29 x 3.25" with the Fat Tire Straps for Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y23FR.

If the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR doesn't work because your bikes weigh too much you can remove the batteries on your bikes (which is recommended anyways) or we have the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack # LGA77FR which is 5th wheel rated and can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 75 lbs. each and tires up to 4.5" wide.
