Hi, I'm Matt with etrailer. If you have a 2020 Newmar Dutch Star and you're wanting to do a little bit of towing behind your motor home, but you also wanna mount your bike rack back here, then I'd recommend checking out the Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount Receiver. So let's check it out. So this is designed to work with a ball mount, but you can just get the shank like we have today. And that's gonna leave you with four holes. That's gonna allow you to mount multiple things back here.
So in our case, we would have the ability to mount a tow bar back here with a bike rack. And that's really important because if you have any other accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers, a lot of times, they're not gonna fit in here because how recessed our hit sits. So this is gonna be a great option for you, and this is going to give you some either added drop or height to your shank if you need that. So in the position we have it right now, this is gonna have a five inch rise and a two and a half inch drop. Now we can simply flip that around to get the vice versa of that.
And the weight capacity is gonna be 16,000 pounds, and it's gonna have a 2000 pound tongue weight. So really the difference there is the 16,000 pound weight limit is gonna be what you're pulling behind you. For what your tongue weight is, that's gonna be the amount of weight that's being pushed down directly down. And that's important to know when you are hauling like a vehicle behind you. So just make sure when you are hauling your vehicle, it falls within those ratings.
Especially if you do have a truck and if anything's in the bed of your truck, make sure you include that too. And what I also like about this is our finish. This is gonna be a hammer tone, and it's gonna give us this more rugged design and it's also gonna look very clean back here. And that's also gonna provide for more durability out of these receivers, because when you are constantly putting things and taking things out of here, it's eventually gonna start to scrape some. This is going to stand up to the test of time though.
Now one thing I don't like about what we're getting today is how close we're sitting to our RV or motor home because if you try to put a shank or something in this top receiver, what's probably gonna happen is that you're gonna hit your vehicle. So in most cases you won't be able to use this top one. Overall, I think this is gonna be a great option if you are trying to tow a vehicle behind you and you also want to get a bike rack or a cargo carrier on here as well, especially since you probably don't want to have a bike inside your motor home, or maybe have that more bulky, big items up in there too. Putting them on the back of your RV is gonna be a much better alternative. What's also great about this too is let's say you are hauling more than one vehicle, or your towing more than one vehicle and they have different rises and drops. This is gonna be able to accommodate that too. And the one drawback that we found is that maybe some gear isn't gonna work with this. So what I recommend is just checking out how long the shanks on whatever you have are, or just checking out our website to make sure that whatever gear you have is gonna work with this. Because we did find when putting on some bike racks, it did get in the way of our tow bar. So just make sure, if you are putting on anything back here, they're not gonna conflict with one another. And that was just a look at the shank for the Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount on our 2020 Newmar Dutch Star. I'm Matt, thanks for watching.
