There's only two of us and Mrs F does not cycle. I put down the rear seats and carry the bike in a bike bag either laid down or upright.. A bike bag is a specialized bag that is designed for air travel so that other luggage is not damaged e.g. scratched or smeared with chain oil in the plane's hold. On site I store both bike and bag under the van.

I always partially dismantle the bike - eg remove wheels, mudguards and pedals.

If we still had children with us i would put the bikes on the roof. I'd be nervous about both the weight and the potential for damage to cupboards etc. One poster who owns a Hobby suggested carrying bikes on the rear wall. Fine for  the Hobby, but I'm pretty sure that this is not possible on your average british caravan - wall is too weak

Try "carabyke"-it's a purpose made post with arms which clamps between the beds at floor level to prevent movement and which has arms to support the bikes parallel with the front beds. Don't carry bikes on the tow bar!
