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

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.
