Bike Rack Availability for an RV Towing a Jetta on a Tow Dolly
Question:
I have a tow dolly with a 98 VW Jetta on it. I have the Thule T2 with 2 bikes that I want to tow behind a motorhome that has a class III hitch. I have towed the dolly easily but would like a solution for the bikes to be included. I have a 6 inch from the receiver of the motorhome to the coupler of the dolly. Can I use the D-192? My dolly weighs 540 and the Jetta weighs 2500. The bike rack with the bikes weighs less than 100. 54+250+10=314. Seems like the D-192 would work. Your thoughts?

I have a solution for you, but it won't include your Thule T2 bike rack unfortunately. The T2 isn't rated for use behind an RV so it can't be used with the hitch adapter # D-192 on your RV.
There are RV rated bike racks available that could work. I attached a link to all of them for you to check out. You will want to pick out the one that would work the best on your application. There are hitch mounted racks, ladder mounted racks, and bumper mounted racks.
