Heading back out to the desert soon and need a better hitch rack to carry my bikes. Needs to swing out so that can access my slip-on camper door. Any suggestions? Found this article
https://bikerumor.com/best-hitch-bike-racks/that is pretty helpful. Right now I'm leaning towards the Rocky Mounts Backstage
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSTIKNK/?tag=brbggearcyclinghitchbikerack-20#customerReviews . I saw a Rocky Mounts on a trip in Baja and was impressed with the quality. I now have a Thule Apex that is not holding up on bumpy roads, plus the arm style mount doesn't fit my wife's Salsa Journeyer.
My 2 local bike stores each carry both Rocky Mounts and Kuat, and they are both recommending Kuat for off-road durability. The Sherpa

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome! Thanks!!
