Add a bike carrier or cargo carrier with this dual hitch receiver.by: BikeDude08/04/2022
Beefy. I have no doubts of the capacity of either side of this hitch adapter, there's plenty of weld to hold it all together. Very few options will provide minimal drop (for an off-road trailer) and minimal rise on the other side for an additional bike rack or cargo carrier. Jeeps are tough since you need to be able to open the gate. This one clears no problem. My spare is up on a slant back carrier, but I think the stock spare should clear as well. Get you a "Trimax THC200 Universal Anti-Rattle Clamp Fits 2" Hitch" and this thing is solid as stone.
by: Rylee08/16/2023
The hitch has held up over Alaskan roads towing a jeep, but it does not sit level in the receiver so the tiny little bit that it sags is exaggerated when the tow bar is connected. Paint starting to peel with wear after a year.
by: Kenneth 09/08/2023
The hitch adapter is well built and has worked flawlessly. I actually use it with my Honda Pioneer 1000-5 during duck season and it allows me to use my folding cargo carrier on top and keep a ball receiver on the bottom for pulling trailers.
by: John 06/22/2023
What’s Rocky the product work exactly how I was hoping it would. It held up by and gave me the drop by needed to tow my vehicle behind my RV so I’ve been very happy with it.
by: Michael 11/01/2023
I received the hitch quickly and it was exactly as show and described on the website.
by: Richard 03/24/2023
Looks to be very strong and well built exept that the holes on the middle tube, which slide into your receiver,are not perfectly lined up. I had to wallow one side out a smidge to get the keeper through.Other than that, no problems.
by: George D.04/26/2023
High quality piece. Welding very good. Quick shipping. I won't worry about equipment failure flat towing our F150 Ford pickup.

E-Trailer always delivers.
by: Brian Winterton12/27/2022
This adapter does the job it is supposed to but,,,,,when using this on the motorhome, it would be better if it was a couple inches longer to get the attachment a little farther from the coach. Perhaps offering it in various lengths might be an idea. The fit is also a little bit sloppy and as a result the rack that goes into it bounces a bit and we therefore tie the bikes to the coach to stop the bounce

Always great.
by: Happy A03/07/2023
As always, I can count on etrailer's exceptional customer service and fast delivery.
by: Michael 03/08/2021
Gives enough clearance for attaching the bike rack and working with the Blue Ox. Perfect solution for using more than one receiver at a time.
by: Mike 06/08/2023
Very fast shipping and great product
by: Dean 09/14/2022
Adam was the person that helped with our orders. Definitely top notch service, order arrived as expected, and I will be working with e-trailer again. Good person to deal with.
by: Peter10/11/2019
Perfect for my needs. I use the top hitch for a bike rack and the bottom for pulling my toad. I did need to get longer cables for my particular tow bar. You may not need to with yours. For now, I leave the receiver on the RV with the bike rack attached so I am ready to go should I need to pull my toad. I have so far driven over 3000 miles with out a problem.
by: Sheila 10/04/2022
Needed this to carry our bikes and tow our car on the back of our motor home.
by: Tom O05/18/2013
The product was well built, the receiver end was solid so the Anti-Rattle lock would not have worked as it requires hollow receiver. This is a 10,000 pound rated product. I intended to use to add my existing bike rack and Tow bar together, but the bike rack prevented the Tow bar from being added and so I had to send it back and get a different bike rack that fit on my Tow bar. I did keep one of the locks and added to my Alpha Tow bar for Anti-Rattle and Locking.

Perfect for adding bike rack on top of Nighthawk tow hitch
by: Tom06/04/2015
The hitch adapter is well constructed... and we're testing it out this weekend. I may want to change to an adapter with a 4" drop... The 2" drop lets the bicycle carrier interfere with the Blue Ox tow bar... I'm thinking that using the 4" drop, and turning it upside down so that the bike carrier rides higher would give more space for the Blue Ox tow bar... Not your fault, will I be able to exchange the 2" drop adapter for a 4" drop adapter?
by: Scott 02/16/2023
Fast delivery and excellent customer service making sure I ordered exactly what I needed!
by: Daryl 02/04/2023
Good product…will allow me to carry both bike and toad behind RV
by: Compton9404/16/2015
Doesnt fit correctly with my trailer even though the rep said it would. dont bother trying the return it though, 100% satisfaction guarantee if bull. if you try mounting to your rig, it is no longer new. eTrailer sucks.
by: Scott06/19/2022
WOW, need I say more! I ordered this on a Thursday with no expectation as to when it would get there, thinking sometime the following week. I didn't even bother to see when it would get there yet and to my surprise there it was on Saturday. The icing on the cake, I didn't pay anything for delivery. Thank you etrailer!
by: Jim08/31/2018
My hitch extension bent and I was in desperate need for a replacement. etrailer and Adam made the process a breeze. We found the correct part, it was shipped out that day and arrived right on schedule. The customer Service and follow up have been outstanding!

- Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter For Flat Towing That Offers 10" Of Rise/DropI went ahead and took a look, and it appears the closest I was able to find is the: -Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 10" Drop/Rise # RM-077-10. This dual hitch receiver adapter can give either 2"-10" of rise or drop depending on the application, has a gross towing weight capacity of 10,000-lbs, and has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 400-lbs. Unfortunately, there is not a dual hitch adapter that has both a 6" rise/drop and a 10" rise/drop. I have also attached a diagram...

- Can Dual Hitch Extension be Used to Carry Bikes Behind RV While Flat Towing a 2005 Dodge DakotaThe 2 dual hitch adapters that you want to look into are the Roadmaster options because they were designed for the exact reason for what you are wanting to do. Part # RM-077-4 has a 4" Rise/Drop while part # RM-077-2 has a 2-1/4" Rise/Drop. You will want to be sure that you choose the one that allows you to flat tow your 2005 Dodge Dakota level (see attached article). Both adapters have the same Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of 400 lbs and Gross Towing Weight (GTW) capacity of 10,000 lbs....
view full answer... - Availability of Dual Hitch Adapter With No DropHaving your towbar within 3 inches high or low of level is perfectly acceptable, according to Blue Ox and Roadmaster. If the # RM-077-4 would allow the towbar to be within that amount plus or minus of level, the dual hitch adapter would work just fine. We don't have any dual hitch adapters that have a receiver that would be inline with that of the coach.
view full answer... - Dual Hitch Adapter with 4 inches of DropSounds like you have a high low adapter currently that has 4 inches so for a similar dual hitch adapter you'd want the part # RM-077-4 which has the same 4 inch drop and a hitch opening above it for your bike rack.
view full answer... - Can the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter Be Used With a Bike Rack and Cargo CarrierThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters like part # RM-077-4 can be used for both a bike rack and cargo carrier and you can also use them inverted (rise/drop position). The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapters are also offered in a few other options which I have attached for you below. If this does not answer your question then please just let me know. Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-2 (2-1/4" Rise/Drop) Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-6...
view full answer... - Towing a 2008 Ford Explorer and Carrying a Bike Rack at the Same TimeRoadmaster dual receiver, # RM-077-2, with its 2 inch drop and rise is going to be the best option. A dual receiver that exits straight out of the hitch and has a high enough capacity for the 5,000 pound 2008 Ford Explorer is not available. Most tow bars have a slight range that they will work within (normally 3 inches up or down from level). Consult the manual for your tow bar to determine its range.
view full answer... - Could Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter part # RM-77-2 be Used to Carry Motorcycle CarrierThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-077-2 does have a 400 lb tongue weight capacity so as long as you stay under that you can do what you are wanting.
view full answer... - What is Tongue Weight Capacity of Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2The 400 lb tongue weight capacity of the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 that you referenced is the overall tongue weight capacity of all accessories installed in either hitch opening. So 400 lbs is limit whether you use one or both hitch openings. I don't understand what you mean by you are not sure if you'd need two different hitches so you might email me back and clarify what you mean by that.
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Dual Hitch Adapter RM-077-2 Have Ability to Carry E-Bike RackThe Roadmaster dual hitch adapter part # RM-077-2 that you referenced was designed for your current situation. It allows you to carry a bike rack in the upper hitch opening and tow a vehicle with the lower hitch opening. This has the weight capacity for your rack and bikes too as it has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity.
view full answer... - Is Tongue Weight Capacity for Individual Receivers on Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for TowThe tongue weight rating for the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-077-2 is for both receivers. If you were to only use one then you can load it up to 400 lbs but if you are using both then it's a combination. The weight rating has more to do with the shank than the actual receivers so the shank itself can only handle 400 lbs. Attached is a review video for you to check out.
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, Part # RM-077-2, be Used with a Towing DollyThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, Part # RM-077-2, has a rated tongue weight capacity of 400 pounds. Its intended purpose is to allow use of an accessory such as a bike carrier or cargo carrier at the same time that a tow bar is being used, however, it can be used while towing a dolly as well. Just not a trailer. Please keep in mind that any type of hitch extender or hitch adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on which it is installed by 50%.
view full answer... - Does Using Roadmaster Dual Receiver Reduce Trailer Hitch Tongue Weight Capacity when Flat TowingIn a flat towing situation the use of an adapter like # RM-077-2 does NOT reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch because there is very little tongue weight on it when flat towing a vehicle. So you can use this adapter to flat tow your Jeep and to carry a bike rack. In a regular towing situation like towing a trailer and not a vehicle, the use of an adapter or extender reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. This is because the additional length of...
view full answer... - Clearance Dimensions of Roadmaster Dual Hitch Reciever With 2 Inch RiseThe distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back side of the receiver openings is 6-3/4 inches. From hitch pin hole to hitch pin hole on receiver openings is 10-1/4 inches. If you are simply looking for an extension and not necessarily two receiver openings, we have several extensions available in various sizes. I have included a link to all of our 2 inch extension parts. Please note that using one of these extenders will reduce hitch capacity by 50 percent.
view full answer... - Will the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars Work With a Tow DollyYes, the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars part # RM-077-2 can be used with a tow dolly as long as the tongue weight of said dolly with vehicle loaded is under the 400 lb capacity of the adapter. If you're unsure of the tongue weight you can reach out to the tow dolly manufacturer but most will be well within this range as the tongue weight on a tow dolly is very little. Please note, the weight of any other accessory you have in the other receiver tube will need to be...
view full answer... - Can Roadmaster Dual Hitch # RM-077-2 be Used When Flat Towing Grand CherokeeThe Roadmaster dual hitch adapter part # RM-077-2 would work well for flat towing your Grand Cherokee with an Avail tow bar. It was designed for flat towing and has a 10k weight capacity so it would easily handle the weight of your vehicle. It would add 9-1/8 inches to the distance between your RV hitch and the tow bar.
view full answer... - Can I Use The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2 With My Blue Ox Tow BarIf your Blue Ox tow bar is an RV mounted tow bar, then part # RM-077-2 will work if your receiver is a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver. An RV mounted tow bar will have the shank to fit into one of the 2 inch by 2 inch openings of part # RM-077-2. If your Blue Ox tow bar is a vehicle mounted tow bar, then part # RM-077-2 will not work, as it will have a ball mount coupler on the end of the tow bar. As long as your Blue Ox tow bar is an RV mounted tow bar, as it would disconnect from the vehicle...
view full answer... - Will the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars Work with a Tow DollyThe Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars part # RM-077-2 can be used with a tow dolly as long as the tongue weight of said dolly with vehicle loaded is under the 400 lb capacity of the adapter. Please note, you must also factor in the weight of the rack and bikes. The tongue weight of a tow dolly is very little in most cases so you should be fine.
view full answer... - How To Carry Bikes and Use a Tow Bar On the Back Of An RVIn order to carry bikes on the back of an RV and still use a tow bar you'll need to look into a dual high, high-low adapter like the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter for Tow Bars part # RM-077-2. This adapter is also offered in a few other rises/drops like part # RM-077-4 and part # RM-077-6.
view full answer... - Recommended Dual Hitch Adapter and Cargo Carrier for Flat Towing/Carrying Bike Rack and Cargo CarrieYou can use a Dual Hitch Adapter like # RM-077-2 so you can simultaneously carry a cargo carrier/bike rack and flat tow. There are a couple things to keep in mind, though... Using an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by half. Therefore, if the hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs, using the adapter will reduce that capacity to 175 lbs. That's not a big deal for the flat towed vehicle, because flat towed vehicles are a rolling load that don't exert any...

The Draw-Tite # 65001. I've linked a video of the installation for you. If you prefer the dual hitch receiver we have two options that might work for you. The Roadmaster # RM-077-2 will provide 2-1/4 inches or rise and drop and the # RM-077-4 will give you 4 inches.
view full answer... - Using Dual Hitch Adapter For Bike Rack and Small Travel TrailerYou could use a dual hitch adapter like the MaxxTow # MT70070, however doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by half. You'll want to take a look at the ID sticker on your hitch, and find the tongue weight rating printed there. If the tongue weight of the fully loaded travel trailer plus the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on does not exceed half the listed hitch tongue weight, then you'd be safe to use an adapter like the # MT70070. If it does exceed...
view full answer... - How to Carry a Bike Rack and Flat-Tow a VehicleThere is not a maximum length ball mount or hitch extension that can be used in a flat-towing setup. However, the further out you go, the less tongue weight the ball mount or extension will be able to carry which is not really an issue for a flat-towing setup but is something you need to keep in mind. The best option we have for you to flat-tow your vehicle and carry a bike rack is with the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-2 for 2-1/4" rise/drop, part # RM-077-4 for...

If you are needing the dual receiver in order to carry an accessory at the back of your RV while also towing a vehicle behind the RV then there are some options that will work for you such as Roadmaster dual receiver adapter # RM-077-2 (2 inch rise/drop), # RM-077-4 (4 inch rise/drop), # RM-077-6 (6 inch rise/drop), or # RM-077-8 (8 inch rise/drop).

The only thing you need to know is the amount of rise or drop you'll need, which will allow you to choose the right one. To determine this, just measure from the ground to the top of your motorhome's receiver, and then measure from the ground to the bottom of your dolly's coupler, and the difference you get is the rise or drop you'll require.
