Hi

Can anyone recommend a two bike carrier that can be fixed to the to the tow bar whist towing the caravan. I have a Mondeo 2.0 TDci Estate fitted with a flange type tow ball and towing a Bailey Ranger GT60 460/4.

Cheers

John

We have bought a witter carrier similar to this.  Our car has a maximum towbar download force of 150kg.  I am not sure what it would be for a mondeo estate.

I use a Witter towbar mounted carrier which is a good bit of kit however you do need to take into account the comments about noseweight seriously.

Agreed.  You just can't carrry bikes on the back with that outfit.

I have a thule 4 bike carrier which attaches to a bracket behind the towball. It is really easy to use but when towing I always put the 4 bikes on the roof as it spreads the weight evenly plus I have a max 80kgs nose weight which the van uses up. as others have said don't put bikes on the back unless you tow with disco or pathfinder etc.

With bikes on the roof you can still easily access the boot too but you will lose 3/4 mpg!
