Hitch Extender Adapter

[Wallace Craig]

I had the same problem. Solved it by taking bike rack which had square to
accomidate extender and then welded a piece of 1&1/2 x6" steel on the bottom of
the rack and drilling two holes to take bolts with lock nuts which fit over the
extender and then was clamped to the extender by running the bolts through
another identical piece of steel on the underside of the extender.
I know that this sounds like a "rube goldberg" solution, but it actually
worked and the load was not an issue since it was not affected. If this does not
make any sense you can call me at 817 221-2404.

Hello everyone. We're looking for a mount for a bike rack. We know
what bike rack we want (Thule T2) and we want to mount it on the back
of the coach. But we can't mount the bike rack and tow the car at the
same time without an adapter.

We have seen such an adapter. Its called a 2" Dual Tow Hitch
Extension Receiver Adapter. It is an extension for our tow bar and
has another tow bar receiver welded on the side. With it we can tow
the car AND have a hitch mount bike rack on the back of the coach. We
found the adapter at toolprice.com SKU: 9164P. But that one is rated
for 4000 lbs and we tow a Honda Pilot – 4500 lbs. Does anyone know of
one off the shelf? Has anyone had one fabricated? All thoughts
welcome.
