Swing Out Bike Rack Recommendation for Back of Van to Allow Access to Rear Cargo Doors
Question:
What swing arm would work with this bike rack in a 2inch hitch? Is there one? I need a swing arm for use on a van, to allow back doors to open without removing bikes. Thanks!

There isn't a swing out bike rack adapter that can be used with the Swagman XTC2 part # S64671 that you referenced since all of the swing out adapters require the bike rack to be a 2 inch only rack and not one that fits both sizes like the XTC2.
The best solution we'd have is a similar platform bike rack that has the swing out function built into it like the Rocky Mounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY10002. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
