Question:
Im having a hard time filtering through the options that work with a motorhome. From what I understand, some racks work with a motorhome but not a camper. Id like to carry 4 bikes. 2 of the bikes are fat tire 60lbs, 4inch tires and 2 are regular road bikes. Any recommendations on what might work?

I have attached a link that is filtered to show motorhome bike bicycle racks.
From this point I furthered filtered to 4-bike racks. That leaves 3 platform racks that won't fit your 4” tires. That leaves 4 “hanging racks.” They have a max capacity of 35 pounds per bike, but the Curt # C18030 rack has a maximum capacity of 180 pounds total. I like the curt as it is of the most sturdy construction with the highest cargo capacity.
If you can make that work for you – it is the best choice. I have attached a link to this product and a demonstration video.
Finally, it's a good idea to use a coated steel bike lock. The etrailer # E98891 is a 10-foot long cable made of 5/16” steel cable that is strong and difficult to cut and has a protective cover to prevent damaging your bikes.
