Wanted: bike rack for rear of camper

[Dr Nick]

Bit of a long shot, but worth a try.

I'm after a bike rack to fit on the back of my camper. 2 or more bikes please.



Ideally, I'd like something so the bottom of the wheels are between the level of the rear lights and the rear window.

Anyone got anything that will fit, or that I can adapt to fit.

and, before anyone asks, it's off for paint in September! :{)>

cheers all.

Does it have a tow bar ?

[Dr Nick]

Sadly no towbar, and a water tank is in the way of mounting one.

Frustrating, as I've got a Pendle 4 bike tow bar mount carrier sat in my FiL's barn gathering dust.

cannot tell the vehicle but is the bumper structural/can you make it so with girders/metal/beams etc so you can mount the tow ball to that ?

I had an IVECO on a rolling chaais so simply bolted a towball hitch[ in your case the pendle mount] to the "bumper" which was essentially a metal girder
the bodywork looks fibreglass so I assume its not a great idea to use that for any rack - but i am no expert

Might end up easier to move the water tank and add a tow hitch?

it's not all that easy to mount the racks to camper bodywork.

My van came with a Fiamma Carry-All bike rack on it.
Turned out that it was only mounted on to the aluminium sheeting/cladding on the van. I found this out when it dropped three bikes on the road after the rack ripped out the body.
It's now mounted on to the bullbars using scaffolding ties and at the top is now bolted to a sandwich of plywood on the inside of the van that spreads the load. Was a real bugger to do.

A towbar one would be much easier.
