I have a dilemma. I want to haul two bicycles and somehow tack them either onto an RV (Class B) or
onto the little tow buggy (sort of a car-top cargo carrier except it's on wheels/trailer). But,
there's no way to mount these bikes directly onto this little buggy without it having its own bike
rack -- I'd rather not buy two bike racks hen one will do the trick. Mind, we will rarely use that
tow buggy, but when we do, we will also want to take our bikes. And, it seems to me there are bike
racks that mount between the RV & the tow buggy (?). I did some Google searching and came up with
the following two possibilities that might solve my dilemma:

<http://www.hitchracks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HR&Product_Code=7981&Catego-
ry_Code=hmt>

and/or

<http://www.reesehitch.com/bike_4_carrier.html>

So, I'd like to ask y'all's opinions about the bike racks listed above, and please tell me about any
other bike rack option(s) I don't know enough to know about :) My single most concern is the
distance between the hitch receiver joint (correct term?) and the vertical bar of the bike rack.
There has to be enough horizontal clearance for the RV spare tire that is mounted on the backdoor I
hope I make sense here?). I believe I need at least 9" to clear that spare tire on the back of the
RV? The first URL listed above states "distance between upright bar and the center of the pin hole
measures 10"." I don't know about the second URL and will have to contact the vendor.

Thanks again so much.
