Trend bike rack and towed/trailer possible?

[icw2gotra]

Trend owners, do you tow a vehicle, or a trailer, and have a bike rack mounted on the RV? Would you post a picture so I can see how we could mount a 2-bike rack, and also tow, with this 1-1/4-inch receiver? There doesn't seem to be a way to adapt a rack mount with the receiver. Pictures of regular rack, ladder racks, recommendations, suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Can you put the bike rack on the towed? We had to install an aftermarket hitch on the towed.

That is definitely an option. Our towed vehicle is a Smart ForTwo, and I'm pretty sure we can get a tow receiver put on it, just needs to hold 70 lbs. or so. Just curious to see if any Trend owners have figured out other ways.

You can buy dual receiver hitch adapters, and, if you use a drop receiver, you can probably get one that combines both.

We put our electric bikes on the back of the View and if towing on the CRV. I installed a 2" receiver hitch on the CRV from Etrailer

We used a https://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-...an/S64664.html. It goes over the draw bar shank and lifts both bikes up out of the way. We've used with a trailer and while towing our car.

We took our Trend to a hitch specialist and had a proper receiver installed.
