Most MHs don't have prefixed rails, only seems to have been fitted to recent vans.
Bikes racks are usually fitted by bolting through the van rear wall and then sealed. Need to be fitted by an experienced MH fitter.
Most common are the Fiamma ones, which we have and work well.
Other option would be a tow bar fitted rack if you have a tow bar!

I think I would have a chat with Autotrail as to where the fixing points should go. If you also have a look at the Agent Fiamma website and look up bike racks you can download the fixing instructions so you can decide if you want to do it yourself or get a dealer to do it for you. I am just about to fit a Fiamma bike rack to my Bailey, fortunately the horizontal fixing bars are already added.
