I'm feeling impoverished now. Ours are only 8.7AH.

Hi BB, I have been preoccupied today with packing the van, visiting the weighbridge and last minute visit to the dentist for the wife. We have more time tomorrow to finish off and hope to head for Poole late afternoon.
I will certainly have to try that CV147 and take my camera if the views are that good. I dont think my bike will have a problem getting up there but I might! Will let you know. My Panasonic battery is 36V, 18Ah and energy output is 648 Wh. Just numbers to me now... They are now 3 years old but nowhere near the mileage you have covered. I take it that 6666 was your bike and not MH mileage?
We can cover in excess of 70 miles per day. The best we have done was in Holland, but we cycle up and down the Vere Verdi regularly and find that very satisfying. This trip I intend to do some solo cycling and try and break some records. A Belgie friend of ours who spends around 6/7 months a year in one of Bonterra's bungalows rides between 80 and 130 km per day, 5/6 days a week on an expensive road bike. He is my age but no battery on his bike!
off now for a G&T

We have just purchased a pioneer frobisher with rear window. We would like to purchase a bike rack and have it fitted. Our bikes are light about 10 - 15 kg, we would value any advice or recommendation as we are newbies to the motorhoming world, thanks

First of all you need to establish if your rear wall has the necessary strengthening to take a bike rack and, if so, just what max load you can carry.
You also need to pay attention to your payload, all up weight and rear axle load. Your handbook should help.
Pioneers were essentially Autocruise models from the pre-Swift days and had a good reputation. You may need to do some internet searching.

Hi & a happy new year to all
I am looking for a tow ball mounted 2 bicycle carrier up to 60Kg total
carrying weight that would suit my old Devon Auto Sleeper. Would be very grateful for any recommendations.
Thank you Christie

I can’t help personally but I know it’s often been discussed on the AutoSleepers Owners Forum where a few members have tow ball mounted cycle carriers and can probably give you first hand experience.

Have a look at the Thule Express 970. I've used mine on the back of the car and currently also use it on the caravan, where I've mounted a tow ball on the jockey wheel mounting points.
Other more expensive versions are available, but it does an excellent job at a very fair price and takes up little space when folded for storage..

We use a Thule tow ball mounted carrier, (although not on our Autosleeper, as it came with a Fiamma rack on the back.)
Can highly recommend Thule tow bar carrier. We use it for two bikes, sometimes two ebikes, sometimes one ebike, one conventional bike. Removing batteries does of course help greatly in terms of weight. I would find your local Thule outlet and have a chat with them. Ours folds up reasonably compactly to ride or store inside vehicle as well. Different sizes and weight carrying capacity, so make enquiries. Think how high you might need to lift bikes to get them on as well, always a consideration.
60k is a lot of weight, so get some advice👍
