We are picking up our conway challenger next weekend and wondered if there is any sort of bike rack that you can put on it?

 

Thanks

Hi Gilly

I noticed on the Conway Owners forum a cycle carrier for a Conway Crusader for sale, it's listed under the for sale accessories bit, I don't know if it would fit your Challenger or not as I'm not familiar with either of these units.  Could be worth asking on the Conway owners forum as well.

Cheers

Haz

If it's a genuine Pennine/Conway cycle rack for a Crusader it will not fit a Challenger as it is fixed at the rear of the camper.

I saw a Challenger at the end of last year that had a rack on it for a small boat. The owner said that it was a genuine Conway part so I suppose that they will sell a bike rack.

You can get a bike/luggage carrier for a Challenger, they occasionally come up on eBay, but they're like hen's teeth.

When we had a Challenger I put a piece of plywood over the transit cover & then strapped the bikes on with ratchet straps.

The plywood was to stop the bikes causing abrasions on the transit cover.

Hi Scarbs ,welcome to UKCS.

You can get a rack for trailer tents that fits on top of your unit. They look like a roof rack & you would also have to buy bike carriers that are compatible with a car's roof rack.

They are quite rare but if you try Googling trailer tent bike rack you'll get some idea.

I'm 90% sure that this one on Preloved will fit despite being a Cabanon.

Thanks Mountain Runner.
This seems like a friendly place.

I saw the Preloved link but have basic membership so cannot send owner a message! Camping is expensive at first!

I'll wait and hope it hasn't been sold.
