Can I use on my motorhome for bikes on top and tow bar on bottom for towing Jeep Grand Cherokee ?

There is a bottom weight restriction of 3500 pounds. I tow a tent trailer and use top for my bike rack.

Lynn, there are all sorts of hitch extenders that may work for your specific situation. A simple hitch extender would definitely allow you to push this bike-rack out and away from the back of your Jeep.

That's interesting. I wonder why they say not to. It seems to me it would work like any other rack I've seen on the back of an RV trailer. You'll need a tow hitch to mount it on and not knowing how secure that might be I don't know if the boucing and wobble might be exaggerated at the end of a trailer and cause some danger.

The top two arms and bottom two arms adjust independent of each other allowing a wide range of angles to mount the rack with. I had mine on a Dodge Magnum wagon and a Jeep Grand Cherokee and fitted the bike rack quite well on both. I don't think you will have a problem.

You need to get a separate piece that mounts to the bike forming the upper bar. Then, you can mount this to a carrier rack.

Sure could. I pad mine and secure the bikes with several bungies. Also, depending on the ladder placement, the handlebars may protude past the edge of your RV (mine do!), but 6,600 miles last fall and no problems. Happy trails!

Well part of it is hard to say. I don't see why you couldn't re use the hitch and bars and just get new hardware to mount on the trailer. Now the problem is the Tilt adjustment on the hitch. This is a very important setting and affects the weight distribution to the tow vehicle. You may have to experiment and either find a happy compromise. If the weight of the two trailers is very different you may have to get a second hitch. Call Equal-I-zer and see if you can get the trailer hardware. They'll set you up with what you need.

It will work either way. It depends on the location of your ladder. If your ladder is on the back left or right of your trailer, you will have to hang them verticle to prevent a wheel from being out past the side of your trailer. One bad thing that I do not like about the rack is that 2 of the four straps that hold your bike in place are made of hard rubber or a plastic that will not stretch to allow you to clamp down your bike on those two clamps.

AFTER I purchased it the instruction thing said, "Not for towing." -Basically it is for bike racks etc only. In my case, when I received it, I threw it to the side till I needed it to find this out. (well past any return time)I do not know the answer to the weight it can pull. Sorry.

YOu could but would not recommend it. The brackets that hold the bike in place are very hard plastic and they have scratched my bike from the bike slightly shifting and moving while driving. If you were to mount the slanted top bar bike this could cause the bike to shift even more because the weight wouldn't be evenly distributed.

with some modifications, yes and it depends on how oversized... my stock 09 jeep jku 32s were good to go. my high offset 33s needed a mod as the post that pokes through the center of the was not long enough. one option is to call the company and get a longer bolt. i didnt like that the square tubing from the rack no longer indexed the tube coming from the mount plate which in thoery would allow the rack to rotate dropping your bikes on the road. i opted to weld in an extension to the post that extends off the plate that installs behind the spare. this works great, but requires accurate measurements and access to a welder.

You do need a place on top of the vehicle where you can attach the hooks of the tent. I don't have a full luggage rack, but do have roof bars that worked fine to hold the hooks in place. Without those bars it may be challenge finding a place for the hooks to hold.

You can't tow ANYTHING with it. It says so right on the box: "For BIKE RACK only"

The bike rack goes through the center of the spare tire so if you have a solid cover this won't work. There are other racks that have a strap that wraps around the spare cover. You might want to look at these. The Yakima works great on a Jeep.

Yes & No! I have a jeep with a 35" spare tire. The rack only fits one bike like this. What I did was to replace the original 2" bar with a longer leingth so I could put two bikes on. You could just but an extension and do the samething but it would add some excess slop in the mount. For the money this was worth it but when no bikes are on it I notice people walk close to the bike tire bracket. Gain I made my new becket pivot so it folds up or down so I can open my back gate. It kinda looks cheap but it does a good job also it's not $400!

PROBABLY - be careful bottom doesn't drag on bumps.Also add straps from each handlebar to roof rack (on something) to keep it from tipping over.
