Apologies if this has been discussed many times before. Currently having a van converted, and looking to put a tail gate bike rack on. Aware of the discussions of up-rated struts (to around 1250N). Also aware that the door can become difficult to control if no bikes and rack on with this type of...
I finally got round to purchasing a bike for my t5 era bike rack, shamefully taken me 3 years. I have run into a problem. As I unwind the knob to open the clamp jaws the threaded rod, which is fixed into the knob, unscrews from the bolt in the frame attatched plastic assembley. Should the...

I’m new to VW campers , I pick up my T6.1 next week from Platinum Wave Campers .
There installing a removable tow bar so I’m after a bike rack that will tilt enough to clear the tailgate when bikes are on rack .
The problem in the past with my old motorhome 2 bike rack is the handlebar on...
Hey! Newbie here.
I’ve got a T6 SWB camper conversion on order. I wonder whether anyone has experience of transporting a road bike in the gap between back of front seats and the back seats.
It’s a pretty standard configuration conversion and was hoping to fit my road bike in there when...
...bikes can actually be fully secured to these carriers?
Cheers!
PS. Thule have sent an interesting reply to a separate query about towbar bikeracks to say:
"We cannot recommend our towbar mounted bikeracks for vans as they are intended for normal cars. Vans usually have a longer wheelbase...
Hi
Can anyone confirm the differences between the electric and non electric tailgate bike rack for a Caravelle 6.1?
Also, does anyone have the OEM part code for the electric variant?
Thanks!
We have a mk2 bike rack,but don't have the sticky bits and tool to put it on properly.Looked on ebay and they are saying £30 for the tool,then £30 for the sticky bits......anyone done it cheaper?Thanks in advance!
...takes less than 5 minutes to fit to the van. Purchased in February last year, only used twice and in perfect condition.

Reason for sale is changing to electric bikes and they are too heavy for us to lift on and off the rack.

Hi all, I have a Thule G6 929 3 bike rack with 4th bike adapter.
Its been great for years but kids bikes getting bigger and my new bike and I'm having problems.
With 4 bikes when I tilt it all the weight is now ending up resting on the pedals of the 4th bike - far from ideal. Van is standard...
I'm selling my bike rack as I've not used it since I got the T6.1 which has a spoiler on.
I dismantled and sprayed this rack and forgot to spray the interlinking 4th clamp which remains silver.
I haven't actually used it to carry bikes since.
Will come with the security/ torque tool and keys...
Hi Everyone!
I was looking for information about how to carry bikes with me on my T6, ofcourse I started with the Search function and there is A LOT of information in all the different topics.
I am dutch, therefor apologies for the grammar which might be incorrect. Feel free to point it out...
I can’t be bothered trying to squeeze 4 bikes onto our rack and rarely need to so there are going spare.
Just the shorter wheel holders and the little clamp to hold the frame.
The holders were powder coated for me but I never refitted them, includes the mounting bolts. The clamp isn’t powder...
Hi I have recently picked up a used genuine VW bike rack for my tailgate t5.1. I have just noticed they the wheel base of my bike is much greater than the distance between the 2 ratchet straps. Both wheels fit nicely in the runners but the straps are nowhere near. Has anyone got any solutions...
Hello, has anyone already considered purchasing an e-scooter? I'm looking for something that I could ride mainly on gravel roads and that has good hill-climbing capabilities..
The "Kukirin G3 Pro" with its two motors seems like a good choice in terms of price and quality. It is indeed heavy...
Genuine VW T6 Matt Black Powder Coated Tailgate Bike Rack - version 1.
No locking bars, I'd removed these as found them more of a nuisance than a help and not totally sure where they went! These can however be purchased separately. Also noticed one of the plastic end trims and one of the small...
