What Is the Difference Between the Hollywood Racks RV Rider and Sport Rider?

Question:

I need a hitch mounted rack for 2 e-bikes of varying wheel bases. They are both just under 70lbs. I have a 1/2 ton truck with a 2inch receiver and have been looking at the Hollywood Sport Rider rack. I think it will work perfectly for us however I noticed there is a very similar version called the RV rider, which is about $100 more. What is the difference with these 2 racks? We do plan on getting a bumper pull RV down the road. Ideally it would have either a 2inch hitch or a cargo door in the rear with fold up bunks that we could use to transport the bikes. Would the sport rider work on the back of a travel trailer? Or only the RV Rider? and why? Thanks!

The only real difference between the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY64FR and the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # HLY84FR is that the RV rider can also be used on a 5th wheel, flat towed vehicle, and a motorhome while the Sport Rider can only be used with a motorhome.

Since you're eventually getting a bumper pull trailer sometime down the line your best bet would be to use the Lets Go Aero V-Lectric FAT PRO Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # LGA77FR which has a 75-lbs capacity, can work with up to 4" wide tires, and can be used on any 2" receiver in any application.
