I have a Caravelle Exec which I upgraded to from a sportline styled T5.1 Kombi. I love the new bus but as I have the seats I can’t have bikes inboard...therefore use the OEM 4 bike rack.
I’m not a fan of the tailgate without a spoiler - it’s a little boxy in my opinion. I wanted a spoiler but...
I’m looking for some kind of bike lift to assist in getting heavy bikes up onto the rear tailgate mounted bike rack. I’ve seen fiamma and Thule versions but they are only for motorhomes from what I’ve seen.
Has anyone come across such a Lift?
Hi all.
I'm missing one of the end pieces off my VW bike rack, which I assume has fallen off or been pinched at some point.
I have spent 2 hours searching the interwebs (I'm not kidding) and so far haven't found anything.
Has anyone any spare ones I could purchase, or know of any spares? I've...
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...
Hi All,
Im looking at getting a spoiler and a Bike rack for the tailgate of my T6.
Is there any racks you would recommend?
I've seen a Fiamma Pro rack, would this work?
Thanks in advance.
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...
I'm looking into modifying a bike rack to fit my barn doors with spoiler.
Anyone got an old/used/scruffy fiamma type one they want rid of as it will most likely get chopped/modified and powder coated black?
Cheers.
Hi,
I’m missing one of the end caps, I’ve searched on web, but no luck. Appreciate if anyone knows where I can get a replacement? Photo highlighted below... TIA
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!
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...
