Dual Receiver with 6" Drop??
In order to pack my bikes on our hitch I will need a 6" drop hitch with a dual receiver. Is there such a thing? My dinghy requires a 6" drop receiver.

Yes that is a picture of the device you need.
I think that you could not "Flip" it over safely thought. You would buy a 2" receiver with a 6" drop, and mount the ball to that drop.
If you need to install a 2" receiver, such as for a Falcon II hitch that is mounted to the RV, you might need something custom built, unless the hitch adapter above is acceptable for towing with either of the hitch receivers. Many times it will state to only use the offset section for the bike rack, while the other side is for towing.
What I did to carry a bike rack was install two more 2" receivers on my hitch. I removed the hitch, and had a pro welder weld on both of them, near the outer edges of the hitch. Now I can use the factory installed center one, while the left one can carry the bike rack, the right on the dog cart rack.
