Big luggage - a small problem, i.e. about trunks and the transport of things

Traveling in motorhomes or trailers tempts you with a sense of freedom and freedom of movement. They allow you to take a bicycle or scooter on your dream vacation, which you can use to explore the picturesque surroundings of mountains, lakes and forests. Before setting off on a trip, it is worth considering the method of transporting equipment that will allow you to spend your time actively while on the trip. Campervan owners can put their bicycles in the luggage compartment. However, dedicated external transport systems seem to be a much more convenient solution. Additional racks not only save valuable space inside the vehicle, but also ensure full safety of the transported equipment and all road users. There are numerous transport solutions on the market, including racks mounted on the drawbar, hook, vehicle wall and more. Which of them should you choose?

Drawbar racks

One of the most popular solutions are drawbar racks attached to the front of the caravan. Although they are not the cheapest, they allow you to transport up to 4 bicycles, which will be appreciated by those who enjoy family trips. Their advantage is also simple and quick installation. Before purchasing, it is worth checking whether a given rack can be mounted on a specific drawbar of our trailer. The camping accessories store's offer includes models of the well-known and proven Thule brand, adapted to regular and short A-shaped bicycle frames.

Hook racks

Another solution for passenger car owners are hitch-mounted racks. Tilting models of this type of rack allow you to transport 2 or 3 bikes and enable easy access to the rack without removing the bikes. However, the disadvantage of such mounting is that visibility behind the vehicle is limited. When purchasing, it is important to choose towbar racks equipped with light boards or with the option of mounting them.

Wall racks

Ladder or platform racks mounted on the wall allow for permanent mounting of 2 to 4 bicycles on the back wall of a camper or caravan. They are cheaper than racks mounted on a hook and are particularly easy to fit to most camping cars. Their solidity is ensured by a metal structure with special brackets and belts. However, we must bear in mind the limited load capacity of this type of racks.

Scooter racks

Fans of riding scooters or small motorcycles can take them on holiday thanks to special racks in the form of a platform, usually mounted to the chassis. The solution is made of a strong structure, ensuring comfortable use, high durability, full functionality and easy assembly and disassembly.
