Bumping up for you

Do you need access to rear door/doors...towbar mounted racks provide stability without the need to be doing any lifting...

Unfortunately, there is nothing on the market that will allow me to mount bikes on my tow ball, and be able to open the back doors.

I’ve got a detachable tow ball, when fitted does not allow enough clearance between rack mount and bottom of the doors.

I’ve looked at all the manufacturers, but for now I have to take my Thule 2 bike rack off completely to open the doors.

If you have standard tow ball you are able to use a plate and spacers to give you more room.

Thank jumar... After some extensive research and looking how difficult it appears to fit a door mounted bike rack I've decided to indeed go for a towbar mounted rack.. the ones from Witter Towbars seems to be the best for price and the lockable features are just what I'm after... thanks again

The door mounted racks are actually quite easy to fit. It's a couple of allen bolts and a bit of Sikaflex. Quite a weight saving over a towbar rack and you can open the doors without removing the bikes.

I'm about list an, as new, Black Thule Elite Van XT two bike rack for a Sprinter for sale in the Classifieds .........

The prices of these carriers are eye wateringly expensive. In my case I would have to get rid of my tow bar to accommodate this type of produce.

The prices of these things is out of my budget.. more than I paid for both our bikes put together.. I think I'll just have to load them in the van for now.. : )

Make it a temporary measure...and secure well...the damage a bike can cause is not worth thinking about in the event of a front end crash....and internal damage to the van whilst loading/unloading....
Of course to have full use of the van whilst parked up requires unloading the bikes...you then have a bike security issue....all different issues to consider.... Good luck..
