Default hitch shops in calgary

What Hitch shop would you recommend for me to get a custom hitch built? I have a new motorhome, which came with a 1 1/4 inch class 1 hitch receiver. Tongue weight of 200lbs.
I have no plans on towing anything, but I do have a bike rack that has a 2" insert. I like to haul 4 bikes on trips. 2 road, 2 mountain, and there isn't a 1 1/4 inch hitch rack that will accommodate 4 bikes nicely. ie, Kuat NV with add on is only 2 inch, Thule t2 with add on is only 2 inch, etc. I don't want to attach to the frame of my bikes. The closest I can get is the 1up USA with 2 add ons for 3 bikes total.
I know you can get extensions, 1 1/4 to 2 inch, but that's putting the bikes further away, with more stress on the receiver.

Standens or hitch experts. Stay as far away from the hitch shop as possible butchers are for meat not for hitch installs.

Man I've got to get my prescription checked, I thought this thread was about something totally different.
