Thanks for he vid, very useful. But unfortunately this isnt an option for me as I can’t lift anything above elbow/waist height

As mentioned, Putting something on the roof is not an option even with steps. Those who’ve said ask someone. All very well until I’m in the countryside with not a person round…. 🤔

I’ve fitted this carrier to a previous van. No drilling is required other than through the a frame cover if you choose not to remove it (I did) Weights are well within limits - already checked. It’s the fouling the handbrake, jockey wheel and other issues I’m after information on, hence posting...

Has anyone any experience of fitting/using the A frame bike racks onto Bailey unicorn ? (1 adult lightweight city bike - Bailey unicorn Madrid, 2016) Have changed my car and it is unfortunately now an either/or option between carrying bikes on the back or towing 😞 - can’t do both at the same...

Looks like I don’t have at home cover :(

I do have cover and I’ll look it out. I’m at home and a feeling that I don’t have the as home bit…. Otherwise, that’s what I was going to do tomorrow.

I did wonder, but it was definitely different to the one that was on it originally….

I’ll try, but there will be no-one available to help until Monday. Until he the caravan is stuck on my car….
