Bike Rack Solution for Towing Rockwood 2318 ESP
Question:
I have a popup camper Rockwood 2318 ESP weight approx 3500 lbs. I want a dual hitch to pull my camper but also to add on a bike rack to haul my bikes. Is there a hitch you would recommend? I do plan on upgrading my camper someday and would like to ensure it would work for future purchases but I doubt I would ever go over 10000 lbs. I am new to the towing scene and just not sure what to get. I am now pulling it with my Ford F-150.

I have a great solution for you with the Jack-It part # LC429756 which attaches under your trailer jack mounting flange and gives you a 2 bike rack that carries the bikes above it. Using a hitch adapter ends up cutting the hitch capacity in half so it's not what we normally recommend. This is due to added leverage and movement created. The Jack It though gives you ability to carry bikes in same area, not have to worry about clearance issues, and does not cut capacity so it's the way to go.
