Video on Bike rack for RV Hitches
:B Skip to 8:35 and you will finally see the difference. Took em long enough to get to the point! That has a similar tightening system as the Yakima "non-RV" model. On the Yakima it only has a lightweight hitch pin as a bit of a safety, the "expander" on the hitch tube (much larger than just the ball on the model shown) actually locks it in place. I would imagine this would be helpful regardless of on an RV or a car.

It's a good idea to have that "expander" thing, but it'd just delay the inevitable IMO.
I have(had) a 5 bike Thule rack that catastrophically failed on my trip to FL. Bikes dragging on the highway behind the RV, fun.
I am currently looking for a rack that is not a rear hitch rack. Don't trust them
