Yeah that’s 4 just on the tailgate one. In theory you could get a few 20”s on the hitch rack too, although I vaguely recall that I had to close the tailgate and the hitch rack simultaneously to get the hitch ones to fit, and with 4 on the tailgate that is heavy, and probably not ideal for the...

Bike rack on tailgate?

Looking to fit a swing away bike rack for two bikes on a new T6.1 4Motion camper - have been looking at three options available in Australia - from Kuat, One Up and Rocky Mounts - any relevant experience or suggestions greatly appreciated - we will be doing a lot of dirt, so need something that...

Hi, Merry Christmas Drinfinity and loving your work. You suggested on another thread you sometimes sleep downstairs in the van with bike(s?) in by pushing the bed forwards. Do you happen to have any pictures with the bed unfolded and a bike in the back? If I misunderstood and you just...

Barn door bike rack from @Gillyg46

Have you been able to install the Thule backup 900 in the VW origial bike rack?

Have same issue with new bike rack on T6 transporter. 9 pin plug has worked well with box trailer no issues. Must be the LED lights on bike rack - all good for first hook up. Then after disconnecting showed bulb light warning, reversing camera worked intermittently, indicator clicking was...

Sorry forgot to mention it is a genuine OEM bike rack https://www.t6forum.com/threads/tailgate-bike-rack-4-bike-%C2%A3480.50492/

There are a lot off variables though. How low is the van, how tall are the bikes, is the slot nearest the van empty...?

I live near the coast and salt eats everything around here. The threads on the bike rack screws have completely seized up as a result. I've been trying to get penetrating fluid in there, but they're not budging. Can anyone offer any advice on either: how to free them or where to source...

Hello - I'm looking for some local help disassembling/re-assembling a VW bike rack. I've found a place that will anodise it but beyond nuts/bolts/screws I'm a bit cack-handed with practical stuff. Ideally looking for a local firm or person that has done this before, particularly to help with...

I take it the broken part you have there does not have any markings on it? If so, check on this thread Thule Bike Rack spares

I’ve got 1250nm struts and the tailgate works fine without the rack on. It opens normally but is a bit heavier to pull down the first 2/3rds of travel when closing it. I’ve only ever opened it with a single road bike on and that was absolutely no issue. I don’t open it with more or heavier...

For the first time, I had to use the tailgate rack when towing the caravan. No issues with manoeuvring unless it is a very tight turn (where you practically have to jack-knife!) I was disappointed that our new caravan couldn’t take a bike rack as our previous caravans did, but I’m happier using...

I fitted a Fiamma 2 bike rack to my barn door van over the weekend and wanted to check with others if the fitment is ok. No issues with lopsidedness like I've seen, however the bottom bracket bolts are currently too long meaning the caps don't fit securely. Not the end of the world but it's...

Hi All I have a Thule 3 Bike rack available that mounts on the tow bar. Rarely been used. I would want £300 (buyer collects or arranges collection) and also open to part exchange for a T6.1 Tailgate version, either 2 or 3 bike will do.

Price drop for the bike Rack is now £30

Having read various threads on this forum about covers for bikes on a towbar bike rack, I can see that there are differing views on whether they are a good idea. We have a T6.1 with an Atera towbar bike rike and later this year will travel from the south of England to Scotland and over to one...

Update - having done more research I was worried about the additional drag that would be caused. I called the Roofbox Company (who sold me the Atera towbar bike rack) and they advised that bike carrier manufacturers advised against using covers on the bikes while on a towbar bike rack as the...

No problem! Give me a shout if after weekend you find it will do the job!
