Hitch Extender Adapter
Another solution I've seen is to weld another receiver to the top of
the one on your coach, use the top one for your bike rack and the
original receiver for your dinghy.

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.

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-
