The Saris Freedom Bike Rack # SA4412B will technically fit on a motorhome, it's just that with motorhomes there is more movement at the hitch receiver and Saris hasn't approved this rack as able to handle that extra movement - so you can use the rack but if any failures happen to it at the back of a motorhome it won't be covered under warranty.
For a similar bike rack that is rated for use at the back of a motorhome I recommend checking out the Swagman E-Spec # S94FR. This uses hooks that clamp down on top of your bike frame as opposed to cradles that wrap around the frame but aside from that the only spec that doesn't quite match up is the Freedom weighing in at just over 22 lbs while the E-Spec weighs in at 60 lbs.
A happy medium is the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64683 which is a very similar rack but with a weight capacity of 45 lbs per bike and it weighs in at 47 lbs. This rack is motorhome approved.
