Can anyone recommend a good cycle rack cover for bikes on the rear of a pvc please.
Thank you
 
I use a Fiamma one but they don’t last long especially if in the sun as they go brittle. Bought a couple from car boots for a few pounds.
Taylormade do a better one.
 
We bought a TaylorMade bike cover, well made and plenty roomy enough to covers our E-bikes.

Bike Cover Archives - Taylormade Screen Covers Ltd in Huddersfield

All our bike covers are designed for two adult bikes which are mounted to the back of a motor home only. We make four types of bike covers for motor homes, two for rear-mounted racks on the back of the motor homes and two for tow ball mounted on the back of the motor home. The cover comes in its...

Bags 4 everything, very well made.
if you have a rear camera you will have to adjust.

Not had to adjust our rear view camera. In your case maybe, but that really depends on the height the bike rack has been mounted on the back of the van and pretty unlikely if it's a towbar mounted bike carrier.
 
Thank you all. Having a pvc, Globecar, the Hindemann seems the best option.
 
I looked at these for bikes on the back of the car.
They did not fit very well and were not recommended for use while travelling.
I assume the same might apply for the back of a motorhome.
 
I'm currently using an old fly sheet from a small ancient frame tent.

Do purpose made covers protect from underneath?

No, they are designed to protect the bikes whilst in transit, there's no reason not to use them whilst travelling.
The Hindermann Concept one is particularly good for that because it totally encloses the bikes and protects them from road dirt and spray.
All covers are likely to be a little big baggy in places because not all bikes are the same size, but a couple of bungees will fix that and stop it flapping too much.

Bags4everything. Really obliging, will make it to your spec., put a sign pouch on, and more importantly, repair it if damaged. I had ours slashed in Calais several years ago,£25 to mend a long tear almost by return of post. And a choice of colours. Underneath, 3 front to back straps, and drawstrings each end, so almost totally enclosed. Put a strap or bungee around at mid height to stop it bagging/flapping.

Also had a cover made for our hot tub pump/heater; excellent!

We've used them for a TV storage bag - they're a fab company to deal with. When the TV bag didn't fit due to a typo in my measurements they only charged me about £25 extra to return it and replace it with a slightly bigger one - it was totally my mistake so they would have been well within their rights to charge me full price for the replacement.

Thanks for your detailed description of their bike bags.....I'd already shortlisted them for when/if our Hindermann bike cover wears out and was going to try to investigate how enclosed the bottom part is .... you've just saved me a job (y)
