I'm confused on being able to use the Avrika without the camper. If your talking about getting the hitch receiver for the avrika and buying my own hitch mount rack, I would then only hold a max of 3 bikes, per the comments I read on their page. However, if somehow the Avrika 4-bike carrier can go onto my Excursion, then that changes things...I'd be interested.
Let me know...Thanks.
I have 4 bike carrier on my fiver. Without issue. It would work the same way on your X. I have the 4th bike mounted in front of the other 3. I think Arvika's plan was to mount 4th bike behind the other three on the rear end of the rack.
I know this might not make sense to you. But the rack is designed for 3 bikes with an attachment for a 4th bike.
I mounted my 4 bike in front of other 3 vs. behind other 3.
I think the biggest question is do you have enough room to squeeze 4 bikes on the tongue between your X and the trailer.
As you noticed from the photo the PP/Hensley hitch allows more clearance between truck and trailer which is really key.
I was dealing with a couple of smaller kids bikes which helped me fit them all as well.
Notice the 4th bike track mounted in front of the other 3.
that 4th rack would not fit between front of fiver and bike rack as it was originally designed but I improvised.
