Swing out hitch

We are getting a Melbourne Prestige 24KP. It has a rear slide. We have ordered a 2-bike rack to go on the 2" hitch. We're looking for a swing out hitch that the bike rack will mount on to allow the rack to swing away when we're camping. Any experience and/or recommendations on a good solution for this would be greatly appreciated.

I had a camper years ago on my truck, was 9'6" so extended out a lot

Got a 2' reciever extension, worked great

May be as simple as that, And cheaper

Check local bike shop. I saw one on a camper that the rack would swing out to the side.

I have one in my shed I would sell you if I wasn't in Florida. It is very heavy, but adds about 18 inches. Can't remember the brand name. I have also seen them that swing down so popups can open over them.


Take a look at the Yakima FullSwing at $550 at Etrailer, others might have it cheaper.

Make sure your hitch is rated for the combo of bikes and bike rack together.

Try rackwarehouse.com you may find one that tilts away from camper enough to clear slide out.
