Hitch cargo carrier plus bicycle rack for two

Hi:
I need more storage in my Pleasure Way Lexor TS. I want to have a hitch carrier that can hold the hoses, etc. plus I would like to add two bicycles on the aft end of the cargo carrier. The one I'm looking at now is Blue Devil Hitch Cargo Carrier Bicycle Rack. Are there other options. It is out-of-stock at discount ramps.

Thanks for any help.

I think he was joking about not seeing the bike. That's almost all you see. Way to make it work.Good for you. Great that you take her with you. That is love.

Davydd - this is one of the tunnels on the Needles Hiway near Custer State Park in South Dakota - Custer is one of our favorite places! Several similar rock cuts on that route.

St. A - sorry, but this was the best shot I could find that showed both the Bike Rack (nothing fancy - just a Bell 4-bike rack) and the Hitch-Haul rack with gear loaded on them. The bike rack actually is carrying our tandem and a wheelchair (in the yellow cover) - the tandem allows my DW to join in on bike rides since I provide the "power"... If I can find another shot I can post it. ST

Can't see the bikes well. Do you have a better picture?
Thanks for this one in any case.

I think that the bikes will work. I use a Saris 2-bike hitch rack. and it seems that it will give me a bit of room. If I only had 6 inches of cargo carrier available it would be enough for me. Would like to have more but will not know until I get it setup.

Maxxtow dual receiver

Are you sure that would work? The lower receiver intimates it is designed to tow a trailer. The upper receiver obviously for something like a bike rack. But do you have enough clearance between them to mount a carrier and a bike rack. They appear to be about 6" o.c. apart. You would have to choose carefully because they might interfere with each other trying to occupy the same space.

Placing the order. This looks like a winning combination. Thanks to all who made suggestions.

Here's my cargo rack from HF with a Hollywood Bike rack, in this case for one bike and one trike:

Yep, Davydd. Good advice. I have the Gearspace 34 and it is great. It has the landing gear for moving unit back and forth onto the hitch and it has a slide back system so you can open your back door too. Not cheap but has loads of room for bicycles, scooters(small) and tents etc. Love ours.

Here is a cargo carrier that has an accessory that will hold two bicycles upright and under cover with room for hoses, etc. It's pricy.
