Bike Rack Solution for 2014 Dodge Durango RT Towing Camper

Question:

I tow a 2016 Forest River Cruise Lite 195BH FS with my 2014 Durango RT. Im looking for a recommended bike rack to pair with this. I dont have a lot of tongue length to work with. See pictures. Id tuck the mounting brackets close to the RV and then need to have a shortinch bike rack extending out from the hitch so that I wouldnt risk hitting my tow vehicle. Any suggestions on a bike rack? 2 bikes, 3 bikes preferred but space would be tight. Im thinking platform style so I can just lift the bike up and set it down on it, rather than one where I have to lift it up high overhead to hang on bars. I was looking at Lets Go Aero Jack-It Double Bike Carrier System originally but lifting the bikes on will be ridiculous. :

Hey Roger, looking at your setup I have a solution but I don't think you'll have enough room between the camper and the Durango to successfully mount a bike rack so what your best option will be is a roof rack for the 2014 Dodge Durango RT like with the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK299 so that you can use a roof bike rack like the Rhino Rack # RRRBC050.
