Hi guys,

Just bought our first caravan and now my hubby wants to take his bike on our trips. Is there a special bike rack you have to buy to go onto the back of the car? we have a old and quite cheap cycle rack that straps onto the back of our Ford Focus but will that be ok when towing our caravan.  I don't really want to put it inside the van because of all the mud he collects on the wheels. We don't want a really expensive one after buying our new van but we do want to be safe.

try ebay, we got ford roofbars and a double thule carrier for our mondeo for around £70 a couple of years ago

Had may types over the years ....IMHO these are the best!!!

i have a high level bike rack, keeps the bike clear of the caravan when we turn, i dont like roof mounting bars, know reason really just personal choice.
