Bike rack

Is there a bike rack that I can still tow a caravan with apart from the obvious on the roof ?

You can get racks for the caravan? Or do you need to move the bikes around once you are at a location? Black FL2

If you have a fixed towbar you can bolt a carrier between flange and towball but swan necks are trickier Confused

The pendal rear bike rack is one of the best, I can tow my caravan with 4 bikes on the back without any clearance problems.

Nose weight is a different matter Smile

Before you go and buy a rack check how much space you have between you caravan and car, My bailey Olympus has a very short A frame from the front of the van, if I had three bikes on my witter bike rack the bike could catch on the van when making tight turns !.

I store the bikes in the van when traveling and then use the Witter bar when on site.

The Pendle rack has extra high bars to allow for towing, although I have an Elddis with a standard length A frame, so I have never had a problem.

The Merc ML I had I towed with all 4 bikes on without any issues, and these bars are the same for FL2 and Discovery.
