Somewhere someone noted the question of "warranty on bike racks when mounted on RV?"
So I checked at 1Up.
I have a Superduty thats expandable, so far just one tray...
1up-usa.com
And I've tried the cargo tray, to haul a couple jugs of gas...say for a genny on a long boondocking or cross country trip...

which makes the CI feel a little unsteady in yaw...so I dont drive around with those jugs full, unless on a short leg into a camp area, having filled nearby first.
I'd only use the cargo add-on at speed or on really bumpy rutted roads if rack is directly on TV bumper, and save the CI bumper hitch from getting bent up, or worse.
(So I'm noodling on a better way to carry jerry cans elsewhere...)
But, to the earlier question:
YES the 1Up bike rack IS lifetime warranty, and easy to get spare bits and pieces like when I snapped a bolt bumping the tray into something, worked fine after.
And to the point:
The SuperDuty IS Rated OK mounted on RV, ie in back of CI.
BUT two bikes max. No mention of cargo rack added.
I dont think you would want to carry heavy ebikes back of the CI tho- maybe ONE of the newer style thats basically a lightweight MTB with a hub rotor, and gears...those are spendy.
So do the math on CI bumper limits and the SuperDuty...
My guess is too bouncy, too much yaw...
PS: one nice feature on the 1Up is it has a couple or pre-cut ratchet spots- you can fold it down to hold in place to open a hatch on SUV, or the galley- and theres just enough room to slide in between the tray and CI bumper to fry up some bacon if you are too lazy to take bike off, take rack out of CI receiver...or manhandle coolers without bending waayyyy ove the tray.
I have a good pic but the Xenforo software is telling me "file too large"...
