It did work, but i needed to add a longer hitch between the double stacked hitch and the popup like the curt 45260. The bike rack blocked the hitch coupler. I found that out after loading everyhing up the first time on the bike rack then couldn’t hook the trailer up. It works for taking 7...
There actually is a trailer shop in my town so might see how much to check out everything for peace of mind. Although this year probably only doing one long trip due to gas prices (thanks Brandon).
