@dalmationlovers, @Dr Jay --
Good to hear! The prices on these things are all over the map, and it's good to learn that I won't have to spend a significant fraction of what the bike cost in order to get a good one.
Question: did the rack you used have a fitting for 2-inch receivers ONLY, or did it have a smaller fitting for 1 1/2-inch receivers and an "adapter" so it could be used with the 2-inch receiver on the RV? The idea of being able to get one rack for thew RV and my car in attractive, but I've read on-line comments that the adapters are plastic and prone to failure. Your experience?
Thanks!
