Thank you all for your replies, it is a class v hitch on the back of my class mmh. It’s a 2013 sunseeker 25 on a Chevy 4500. I would like to use my existing Thule 2 bicycle T1 rack. I will be carrying a 200 lb Yamaha scooter and 2 bikes with total weight of 50 pounds plus the rack
Any additional insights with this added info?
Are you sure you have a Class-5 hitch? This is not the same as the "V-5" rating which is quality standard. I'm only suspicious because Class 5 hitches for the Chevy Express chassis are very rare. Was your chassis modified for a class 5 hitch? Normally the Express 4500 is limited to a 3500# hitch due to the frame extensions, although some of the newer ones now have a 5,000# hitch.
If the frame was modified, and a proper class 5 hitch, the last part of the equation is knowing your wheelbase, rear overhang, and your current loaded axle weights. Since you have a relatively short coach, it might be doable, but will come down to your wheelbase-length ratio.
