Hitch mount storage/rack

We have a 2019 Vegas 27.7
As with many things in life, there are compromises - in the Vegas' case, its the external storage compartments.

I am trying to find a hitch-mounted (or??) unit to hold common storage bins AND 1-2 bicycles.
At first glance, they are easy to find - but the ones I am finding have the flat platform (basically a simple expanded metal cage) mounted closest to the vehicle, then another adapter to affix the bike rack.

However, this appears to add almost 5 feet of overhang off the back bumper.

Has anyone seen or even fabricated something that will reduce the overhang - like a "dual-arm swing up and lock" for the bikes? I hope that makes sense.

The end goal is to reduce tail over-hang.

Cheers, and Happy St. Patricks Day

Thanks, Bob! I'll check their site to see how it can be used in conjunction with a storage box/platform.

Cheers!

I figure if the framework does what you want: the rest should just be a matter of unbolting what you don't need, and adding what you do.
Good luck!
