Thanks. That was one consideration when we were looking. I think we have settled on the Hollywood RV Rider rack as it holds 80 lbs per slot and we are getting Aventon Aventures thay are 65 lbs without the batteries. Plus, it is rated for 5th wheel use. I just wish they would change the hitch so this wouldn't be an issue. We use an extender now, but it's only 1 regular bike. I just learned of the weight issue.
