Tow bar bike rack for 2022 Mercedes Sprinter

[Bill and Lou]

Does anyone know if there is a tow bar bike rack that will allow me to open the rear barn doors of my Sprinter?

LNB Towbars of Bristol list the Van-Bike2 and Vanstar bike racks for Sprinters i saw them at the NEC show in February
they look Ok but i have not used one.

We have an Atera Strada DL which hinges forwards and great for use on our hatchback and m/h. It should give sufficient clearance but you'd need to find a way of checking but worth having on your list anyway. Ours takes 3 MTB's or 2 EMTB's

Witter do one, fits my van great and allows for boot opening on the car

How about this?

I intend to get one of these for an Elddis Autoquest - unless anyone tells me its a bad idea.
The reviews look vert favourable.
(I have one EMTB)

(Apologies if I'm a couple of months late!)

Two things, Jo.
The (more expensive) Thule model folds to a very compact 'cube' which makes carrying it IN a vehicle much more straightforward, and not so much of a trip hazard stored when stored elsewhere
Thule's ball connector is lever operated and it's impossible to mount the carrier anything other than horizontal.

The witter one is about the same price.

my only other comment would be that the fixing post on the witter and thule models are against the vehicle, so no chance of scratching the rear etc
