Hi and welcome to the forum.

Are you asking for suggestions on rack manufacturers? I'm a big fan of Blue Ox and have been using their three bike, hitch mounted rack for several years and it's held up very well.

pvanderstoep,
Welcome to the site. First off, do you have any preferences for the style of carrying your bikes? As in, there's the "Hanging" style that the bikes hang from a cross bar and clamps at the top. Then there's the type that are "Cradle" carriers that, capture the tires/wheels of the bikes and are held in place by a sliding, padded down clamp. I prefer and, in deed have the latter one.

Ours is made by "Xpsport" and has worked flawless. Thule makes the same style of cradle units but is considerably more costly. There are other brands out there but, those two come to mind. There's one more that's a cradle style just like mine but, it has a ratcheting system for the down clamp. I really like that one but, I can't remember the name or brand of it right now.

The Xport model we have has a built in adapter that utilizes a 2" receiver or, the smaller 1 1/2" receiver too. We really like that 'cause we have both size receivers for different purposes.
Scott

PV: I owned several bike racks, this is the best. It also folds up nicely. Buy the Swagman not a copy.

I have a new 2012 model m with full wall slide but not familular with rear slide. Do you have the class a type reo? I wanted to be able to have a carrier and a bike rack that might help you if the bed does not slide out the rear of your coach over the hitch. thanks Jay (Portland, Oregon)

Wife and I carry our bikes on a swingout rack

Might want to look around this site, Draftmaster Racks this rack fits our needs of having a two bike rack that I don't have to lift the bikes up to mount. The whole rack pivots off of the receiver hitch mount and swings down onto the ground with bikes attached. Have had this rack for three years and the manufacture is really customer friendly.
Good luck with your search.
