Hi all,

We have just purchased our first trailer tent (Trigano Olympe GL). Fancied a bit more luxury but could not bear the thought of a caravan.

Anyway, I know it has been covered here already but bikes! I need to carry 4 and although I have a Maxxrack there is not much turning space left with the bikes and the locker. So I'm thinking of buying a luggage rack.

Does anyone have one of these I cannot find any decent pictures or info on how it fits/packs away on sites etc.

Hi Gary

These don't have any at the mo, but might be worth calling them?

Thanks for the link there are some good shots there and I can see how it all goes together which is what I wanted.

I'm also thinking of making my own rack and the idea of being able to pull the trailer from under it is a good one!

I'm considering that the rack will be made up in a few sections. The lower sides which could be left on the trailer all the time. With the upper sides and crossbars which could be lifted off and folded up some how. May be it would workout just a cheap to buy one, usually the way

We have a Galaxy and I have tried the MaxxRaxx with the extension. I can just get the 4 bikes on there but it does not leave mush room for error when reversing especially as I have the locker box on the front as well. I have not actually towed with this configuration though.

 I like the idea of the bikes on the trailer as it looks neater and helps spead the load. My concern is the amount of time it takes to fit and remove the rack plus the packing away. Especially as we have just got the TT to reduce all of this.

20mins does not sound to bad. I assume when stowing on site you have to remove the bike carriers from the cross bars?

Do you happen to know what the dia of the tubular sides are?
