Not sure when it happened but eventually a trucker honked and pointed toward the back of the rig. When we pulled over we found the bikes pretty much ground down to nothing. The Hollywood is not cheap and should not be.
Today I installed a front hitch for the Swagman that I have been carrying on the back. I have a rear view camera and understand why welds would break with all of the movement back there. Also I watched my friends bike fall off of the back of his last summer. This is the hitch I bought:
