Custom Swinging Hitch for Bike Rack

We built a custom swinging hitch for our bike rack so that we could load motos in the back of our van. We get a lot of questions about our bike rack and swinging hitch so we figured we'd do a little video explaining more about it.

We came up with the idea because we wanted to be able to get into the back of our van to access our motos without removing the bike rack. It's a custom swinging hitch receiver that can take any 2" bike rack. We based the design off of the van's original hitch receiver and had it custom welded with a swinging arm. It handles a heavy rack plus four bikes no problem and we leave it open almost every night so we can climb the ladder to our rooftop tent.
