I need help. Recently when on site I saw a caravan next door with a bike rack which fixed into the caravans tow hitch allowing it to be locked in place with a hitch lock. It then had 4 slots to allow you to stand the bikes front or rear wheel in and then in turn lock these to the rack. I have not seen one before and cannot find one online anywhere. Does anyone have one of these or know where they can be purchased from. Thanks

    I may well be envisaging it wrongly but if it was sitting over the hitch this would likely affect your noseweight significantly. Or am I misreading things?

    Was it one of these??

    The website doesn't work, so i guess they have ceased trading though, sadly.

    The picture might give you some idea of how to construct one yourself/have one made, but looking at it it seems that being bolted together it wouldn't have been particularly secure and I would never secure a bike by just a wheel either - the bike shown has QR skewers, so it's less than 1 minute to drop out the wheel and off with the bike!

    Hi mark. Yes it was very similar to this but a welded one piece construction. The person using is had a security chain going through both the wheels and frames of the bikes secured. Looks as though I may be producing one myself though. Thank you all for your replies.
