Hey Jeff,

Since most tow bars have to sit up 90 degrees and then turn to either side to stow you'd almost certainly need to remove a bike rack. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 you were looking at would allow you to haul both but it along with even their largest version # RM-077-10 would likely still have the bike rack block the tow bar from stowing.
