I am interpreting the reviews as: "It works ok on an RV but not on a truck or car receiver hitch. I have the Swagman platform rack, will it work?

I have the Swagman rack also and it works great. The only caution on a truck or car is the amount of wind it is subjected to. On a motor home there is less wind due to the flat back.

I have only used it on the back of my 5th Wheel. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the back of my truck

Yes it will work on a truck, you will have to buy a longer receiver to get it away from the bumper. Or you can buy a 2in. square piece of metal the length you need.

Ron, I used it as described, with bikes on a rack behind an RV and it worked great. The rental RV had a backup camera and we could see the bikes in the bag - and it fluttered in the sheltered area behind the RV. That us what I think is the real issue. Behind an RV the bag is sheltered from the wind while behind a car it is directly in the wind at say 60 MPH or more. It may not last long directly in e wind.

As long as your towing receiver is 2". 4 bike fold down towing fits 2" receiver. I use my Swagman bike carrier on a Ford Ranger. It slides right into the towing receiver. Having a spare tire mounted shouldn't be an issue.

Yes and it didn't work. Too low to the ground and I was hitting the tires on the ground when I drove through gutters. I bought a Swagman with the bend in the neck where it comes out of the receiver hitch. It raises the bikes up and they don't hit any more plus it's a all designed and constructed rack. I love it.

Ii would estimate that any hitch that does not exceed one half inch thick should be ok with this lock. I have used this type of lock on two rv's and it is the only really suitable or type lock which is secure from bolt cutters. I suppose it could be picked but if they want your rv nothing is really going to stop a determined thief. They can just pick up your rv by the "A" frame with chains and tow it lock and all. This lock will stop the more stupid type thieves not those who have the equipment and determination.

CORRECTION!!!!! so sorry! i should really have more morning coffee before i attempt to answer anything.the statement about the top of the receivers' "square hole" is WRONG! the top of the long channel/tube on the Hitchmate is- 1-5/8" BELOW the bottom of the receiver opening.

Doesn't mount on the hitch. Picture may be deceiving. Rack is rectangular, flat on bottom with through holes/hardware to mount on a flat surface. Would have to fabricate/add metal to make work with a hitch receiver. I mounted two racks on my utility trailer--added a shelf board.

should work if you have a hitch. Also check with dealer for weight. Include the weight of the carrier and the wheel chair.

It will work if you extend out the hitch with a bumper style bolt on hitch bolted to the bottom of your factory receiver. However it won't fold down far enough to fully open your tailgate. A better choice is the Yakima swing man. You will still need to bolt on the bumper style receiver to your factory receiver, but it works wonderfully. I've owned both racks. For the jeep the swing man is ideal. If you don't have factory towing package, I would not reconnect a 4 bike rack. They are heavy loaded down. The factory tow package has heavier rear springs so it comes closer to hauling the weight.

As long as the height and width of the hitch work for the trailer. Keep in mind it shifts sideways to all the trailer to be towed so make sure you have enough of a neck on the trailer.

Works on both. I've got mine mounted on a hitch mount cargo rack with square bars

I have a 2" hitch and it works great. I really like this rack. It is better than I was expecting, a lot better.

It's built for a 2" receiver. You would need an adapter for a smaller hitch.

This works with our receiver hitch. If you are using a regular 2 inch hitch I know it would work. It takes the place of a regular pin.

i think it would work for almost any truck or van as long as you have the right hitch. we are very happy with our purchase. my husband can remove it easily when we aren't going to be using it for a while. it is very stable even on the highway doing 65 mph.

Negative, as far as I can tell. Perhaps if you put an extender on the hitch it will work.

Would like to answer your question but I don't know exactly what you mean? I consider a camper something that's fits in the bed of a truck. but if you mean a camper on wheels yes it will work provided you can access your frame to bolt the hitch to. Hope this helps

I have a 2013 Odyssey. The Swagman did not fit with the hitch that Uhaul installed. I bought an extender, which made it way too long, and I could not back out of my very gradually sloped driveway (I live in a subdivision that used to be a farm field!). Ended up going to Honda and had them install their ridiculously expensive hitch. Problem solved.
