Best Bike Rack w/ Highest Capacity for a 5th Wheel Trailer
Question:
I just want to verify the mount can hold over 130 pounds of two Lectric ebikes. Of course my concern is the weight so far back on 5th wheel and security. Your thoughts?

I have a solution for you but the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # Y36FR is not rated to be used behind a 5th wheel trailer and does not have that kind of capacity. The air moving around behind a 5th wheel trailer requires a specifically made bike rack that is rated to be more durable than a standard rack that mounts behind a vehicle.
For you application I recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes item # S94FR. This bike rack is rated and heavy duty enough to be hauled behind a 5th wheel trailer. It also has the capacity to carry two e-bikes weighing up to 70 lbs a piece. I have linked a review video below.
