I am looking at changing vehicles to one that can only have a class 1 hitch meaning the max tongue weight is 200lbs. I currently have a bike carrier that can have the 11/4" reciever. In its users manual it says limit to two bikes for a class 1 hitch. Looking at other hitches all seem to have this restriction.
So if I have four bikes (2 kids bikes) plus the weight of the rack I am at about 120lbs. This is within the weight limit of the rack and the tongue weight of the hitch so I don't see any issue. Does anyone carry 4 bikes with a class 1 hitch? I would also be using a roof box for camping trips so I don't want to use a roof carrier for bikes.
