Looks nice and is probably the best solution for hauling bicycles with a fifth wheel.
Just a tip. I do not have a front hitch like that, but I do know, lifting bicycles that high can be a real challenge, even for a young guy, not to mention an aging old-fart like myself.
A simple solution to make the "lift" a lot easier is to load the bicycles into the back of your pick-up truck then back the pick up truck to the hitch with the tail gate down. Now climb into the back of the pick up truck and lift the bicycles into the bicycle carrier. The distance you lift will still be the same. But it won't be as hard lifting them in two steps like this.
Also, when removing them, do the same thing. Use the tail gate of the truck or the bed of the truck and take take them off the carrier. Set them in the bed, then pull the truck forward and lift them out of the bed of the truck. It WILL save your back.
And here's another tip! Need to wash that front cap but don't have a ladder long enough? Do the same thing. Open the tail gate of the truck and back it up to the trailer. Now set up a step ladder in the bed of the truck. You can reach the top of the fifth wheel very easy this way. Of course, it takes nerves of steel to do that, but if this old-fart can do it, you young-un little dare devils will have no problem at all! (I do this quite often, even at the camp ground because my front cap has that gigantic window and it's always splattered with bugs. This is the easy way to wash the window).
Happy Camping!
Your receiver looks really good!
