Hi Guys,

We have a Bailey motorhome and want to get a cycle rack which will only need to carry 2 bikes. Can anyone please recommend a rack? Our MH has factor fitted fixing points for a rear mounted cycle rack.

Thanks

    Hello fb,

    You say that your Bailey has factory fitted fixing points for a cycle rack.  I would anticipate that these points will only fit one make and model of cycle carrier and will be specific to it.  Both our current Rapido and previous Knaus would only fit a model made specifically for them.  I suggest you find out what make and model is specified by Bailey.  Manufacturers often build reinforcements into the walls for fixing points so attaching elsewhere may be unwise.

    Thanks Carl, I'll email Bailey to find out.

    Or you could go to a local tow bar fitting company and ask them.  After reading stuff on here you could wait a lonnnggg time for Bailey to answer!  My local tow bar place in Lincoln has lots of bike racks and are very efficient

    They seem to favour Thule racks.  I think Swift actually offer them as an optional extra
