One of the snags of a motorhome versus a caravan is that when you have pitched camp, you can not drive off without a load of packing up work.
We have got the awning largely with this problem in mind, but we also wanted the mobility of cycles and hence a cycle rack.
I went through a number of possibilities and rejected most, inspecting other vans and bike racks as I went. In the end I decided to fit a rack to one door and have the bicycle off centre.
Next step was to find the right bike rack and Fiamma looked the bext available. The cost was in the �100-150 range, but I picked up an incomplete one from EBay for �9.99. It needed new fittings, which I made out of angle iron and then I bolted it onto the back door(with some strengthening metal behind).
The result means that the bikes are well above the number plate and also the lights. I can get at the door lock easily enough, but the door handle is partly obscured, especially if a bike is on the rack.
