Agree the sliding tray looks pricey...

This might be just what I’m looking for. How is it fixes into the floor? Hubby’s stressing about fitting something in the floor!
Firstly, thanks loads for posting this follow up! I originally thought there wasn't enough room to fit my Mullet YT Decoy Shred eBike into my new-to-me T6 if I went RnR bed. Didn't seem to be enough room to clear saddle. So seeing this has allowed me to re-evaluate my build.
Can I ask what bed you have there so I can compare the height to a RIB (which I have my eye on now)?
Also, did you consider putting your "fork board" across the seats in an upright position, so you don't have to put the bed down and cover the whole thing each time? Should think there would be enough room in the main area?
Cheers!

@Bestie Camper check out my sliding mtb tray where I used the Blok pod mount and rail as part of that build I get 3 bikes in with no problem. If it tilted the single seat forward I’d probably get 4.
That is 2 x 26ers, and 20" and 16" islabikes
I followed some advice on another thread and put the bikes in upside down. They wouldn't go anywhere even without a rack, but I could use the seat to sandwich one or two bikes which others may not be able to.
what make are those wheel holders?
and what actually holds the wheel in place to them as the axle will already be in use for the fork I take it?
Thanks for that. Those blok pods wheel holders for when the wheel is removed(from your link) look a bit bulky and not that compatible with what I have.
wondered if anyone knew the make of those skinny ones in the post I was referring too?

Hi all
Just came across this thread after buying a van last week. I have a swb t6 with rear seats added. Got fed up of putting my bike on the roof of my Passat estate so finally took the plunge.
Yesterday I used the van for it’s intended use. See picture 1, so much easier but I wanted a better solution. I’ve been looking at the bike stow stand which has great reviews. After chatting, a friend of a friend told me they had the 2 bike version and that I could try it. I know with the rear seats it wouldn’t work but my plan was to see if I folded the seats forward would it work. And it did, see the following pictures taken. This is my next purchase once I have some funds.
Yes I lose the rear bench but I’ll ever only need to carry 2 - 3 bikes with riders anyway
Hope this is helpful to others
