bike carrier

I’m looking for bike carrier for caravelle. Can anyone rate the Fiamma Transporter 2/4 bike version?

Thought it best to share today’s experience and caution others. Please please please check and recheck any towbar mounted bike racks. Even though we triple checked before setting off, ours decided to part company today whilst travelling at 60mph on the M1. Standing helpless at the side of the...

Afternoon. What is the general consensus on Tailgate bike racks?? I need a 4 bike solution. I have a Fiamma on my T3 and it’s been great. cheers

Hi, I am currently looking to buy a VW Campervan and notice the mixture of 'tailgates' and 'barn doors' types. Our main requirement for this campervan is to be able to take 4 mountain bikes on the back when heading off camping. Does that mean we should only be looking at 'tailgate' options...

Hi guys, I have been looking at the genuine Vw bike carriers for my 2018 T6 tailgate. I was wanting a 4 bike carrier but they are horrendously expensive. Especially as I want the black one............. so at the moment I was going to make do with a Menabo Shadow bike carrier. We can use this as...

Hi, I have looked at the various threads relating to bike carrier & options - I come back to the same options - but just want to check I'm not missing anything... I'm after a Tow Bar mounted Bike Carrier - one that can carry 4 bikes and importantly can tilt so the barn doors can still be...

What are the general thoughts around bike carriers? I want to be able to transport 4 bikes, am I best going for the VW Gen type one that mounts to the roof or are tow bar type ones better. Id like to be able to have a spoiler on the roof which is why I am thinking of the tow bar one however I’m...

Or racks to carry 2 bikes!!! Now that I'm in my first full year with the T6 camper, I'm beginning to look at bike racks. I know that this subject has already been done on here quite a bit but I've just had an email from Camperco pushing what seems to be a new Thule rack - the catchily named...

Has anyone ever heard of the VW T6 bike rack being fitted to a T5? I much prefer the look of the new rack, but I can't find any evidence that you can replace the T6 mounting apparatus to make it sit on a T5 tailgate instead. Any help or suggestions much appreciated!

Anyone selling T6 bike rack ...

Hi, wonder if you can advise how hard it is to convert barn doors to a tailgate. The van is already converted .. by Bodan's in Shrewsbury. Stupidly we didn't realise how hard it would be to find a bike rack with barn doors so exploring changing - we are not DIY people so would need to pay...

I have a towbar bike rack but the electric boot won’t function with it fitted, I presume this is a safety feature so it won’t hit the bike rack. Is it safe to manually open and close it? It feels wrong to push against the motor when pushing it closed.

Hi all. I bought this cycle rack direct from VW here in Copenhagen, two weeks before several knee operations stopped me cycling. The rack was on my T6 once, just to offer it up but has never been used. Instead of taking up room in my shed i intend to sell it in the UK. I am driving across next...

Good evening all. New to the camper game and recently took delivery of our T6 highline with tailgate. Just about to have a tow bar fitted and unsure as to what combination I should have for the extra storage and bikes. So far I've seen the Westfalia cargo box as well as the Thule easy base...

Hi, After some advice on which tow bar types can be used to mount a 3-4 bike carrier e.g Altera Strada DL. Looking at either a flange or fixed swan neck but there seems to be contradicting info about regarding swan necks. Planning on carrying 3 standard mountain bikes. Anyone have any practical...

We have a T6 and I'll be honest - It's a huge faff loading 4 bikes onto our Fiamma tailgate mounted bike carrier.... and then it takes the strength of 7 people to open the boot. I'm thinking of fitting a towbar and getting a Thule 927 tiltable bike carrier (we're keeping the T6 for ever :-) so...
