Carrying 2 bikes - Motorhome and Car Dolly
Went through several pages of how to carry bikes, but was wondering if anyone has any revelations on this. Nissan Altima is my toad being pulled by a Class A with a car dolly. From what I gathered...

If you already use a truck mounted rack, I'd probably stick with that. Well installed, they work fine. Many many people use them every day.
If you've got $$ to spend, a roof rack on the Altima would be nice. Easier to use and less chance of damaging the bikes or car paint.
way2roll's method of using a dual receiver on the motorhome with a hitch rack sounds good too, as long as you can also use the rack on the toad so you can take the bikes with you in the car. Maybe this in conjunction with your current truck rack for local trips while camping would work well.
Since you're using a dolly, I don't think a toad mounted rear hitch rack would work while towing, seems like it'd hang too low. But if you have a receiver on the Altima you could at least move the receiver mounted rack to the toad once at a campsite.
