Etrailers recommended these 2 racks for a 1-1/4" receiver hitch for my 2 rad rovers

Does anybody have any experience with either?

I actually ordered the Hollywood rack you note here from etrailer.com, however, along with a 1-1/4" hitch.  Bill from etrailer caught my order before it shipped and said the rack needs a class2 hitch, not class1, so I have no rack solution right now.  :(

Be sure you have a class2 hitch for those racks.


Thanks for passing that info along!  I just emailed etrailer again to ask about this.  The Thule rack actually lists that it is compatible with Class I, II, or III hitches, so that may still be an option.  A very expensive option, but an option nonetheless.  Etrailer did confirm that the Hollywood rack is listed as being for Class II only.  In the same email though he said that he has had customers use a class II 1-1/4 rack on a class I hitch, but I think I would be very hesitant to do that.
