Hi'a we use a tow bar fitted bike carrier for our 2 bikes, you can get them to carry up to 4 bikes, they do not obstruct your rear mirrow view, easy to fit just unbolt the tow ball and fit the bottom bracket behind the tow ball it acts as bumper protecter aswell.Hope this helps.

be carefull with the behind towball racks like the maxxraxx or the witter ZX range

Trailer tents tend to have shorter drawbars than folding campers or caravans , and these tend to be shortened further with boxes, ie behind a kia Sedona with a Conway trailer tent the witter wont work

you can get over the top bike racks for the older Conway range normally on E-Bay but generally these are like rocking horse droppings and up to £100ish

MaxxRaxx, which we have, do an extension to allow clearance on short tow bar rigs.
If you ring them and chat, they give brilliant specific advice.
