Hi, ours travel in the van, strapped together in between the front seats, I just lift up the cushions and lean them on their side against the seat bases. if you use a 4x4 with a rear spare it's hard to use a towbar mount, you can mount onto the spare itself but the bikes will be close to the van and may impair turning, also if you towbar mount you are making the noseweight heavier.

Noseweight is not an issue as the bikes are fitted to the car via the towing bracket.....noseweight is the down force weight of the caravan hitch upon the tow ball so to cause a problem with this the bikes would have to be mounted to the a frame of the van.

Sorry Mick, but you are wrong there,

it is the load on the towbar that counts...irrespective of where it comes from.
