Sawiko Bike Rack

Prescot46

I have the same issue with my Bailey Alliance 66-2. The chassis mounted bike racks do seem much more substantial than the Fiamma racks. If you would have a need for a towball then perhaps that might be the way to go. The towball mounted racks are very popular both here and in Europe. Providing they are designed to take the weight there should not be a problem. If you decide to go for a chassis mounted rack have you seen what is available from Road Pro in Daventry? They have similar racks, made I believe in Holland. We have not decided whether we will be taking our bikes away in the van yet so have not had a rack fitted.

the single point being your rear axle.....what size Advance do you have.

any van over 7m (and some are 7.6m) takes care to run comfortably at  3500kg (whatever the quoted payload on the website).

load the OH and fill the water tank (why would Baily suggest you run with it empty?....its a MH...) and youve lost 175kg or so...

add the weight of the Velo to the two ebikes and there is another 70kg gone...and that rack, hanging out the rear will apply around 100kg to the rear axle, not 70. 

so, 250 off the payload is a fair chunk, enough to focus the mind into weighing the van fully loaded (with clothes, oh, water, fuel, gas, all camping kit etc, etc and understanding the current loading on the rear axle so as to be sure there is capacity for the bikes and the rack.

good luck.
