Why Can't The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Be Used With A 5th Wheel?
Question:
I noticed one of the reviews that this product should not be used on 5th wheel but can be used on motorhome, can you elaborate on why this is the case ? I have Rockwood 2883ws that has the hitch rated at 300 lbs. My two Radpower bikes each weighs under 80 lbs so about 150lbs for both…. Thanks for your help in advance.

The reason that you can't use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY74FR on the back of your 5th wheel is due to the suspension and the excessive movement that occurs at the rear of the trailer.
Since the axle is pushed so far back, and the suspension isn't as advanced as something you'd find on a passenger vehicle or RV, Hollywood Racks has deemed use with a 5th an unsafe application.
Alternatively, you could potentially use the:
-Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR.
This bike rack has a maximum carrying per bike carrying capacity of 75lbs (145lbs total), a maximum tire width of 4.5", and can be used on a travel trailers, RV's, 5th wheels, flat towed vehicle's, SUV's, trucks, car's and van's.
I did check out some bikes over at Rad Power, and the heaviest bike I was able to find was 73-lbs, so the weight capacity for # LGA77FR would work great, however you'll want to verify yourself to be certain.
