Hi

i have been getting into my off road mountain biking and recently went to dalby forest. we had a great time but we had to put both cycles in the back of the van which resulted in minor damage to both van and bikes.

i have been looking at 3 racks

1 Fiamma bike pro £160

2 "           "      "  c £166

3 "                 "   ul £133

has any members had any experiance or problems fitting any of these to the back of their motorhome? i didnt really want one on the back permanatly do i have any other options?

When I bought my van I had a rear tow bar fitted, not only to give rear end protection, but to fit a removable tow ball cycle rack. The bikes do not obstruct my rear view when driving and of course if I sell my van I get to keep the rack.

We have a Thule bike rack which sits on the towball. It holds up to 3 bikes (just watch the max weight) and I can highly recommend it. It is lockable too.

Another vote for a tow bar mounted Thule rack.
