Hi, we're having difficulty lifting our bicycles onto the rack on the back of our motorhome, (we're a pair of fit wrinklies) we've seen a ramp on youtube but that was for a car, does anyone know if there's a ramp available for a motorhome

Both Fiamma & Thule do lifting rear racks that wind down to almost ground level to load bikes but obviously not cheap, several £100s. Otherwise I would think the answer would be to make a ramp yourself from alloy channel to go from ground to end of rack with something to hold it in place while pushing bike up.

Thank you, that was most helpful, if all else fails we'll probably end up hauling them onto the rack with ropes

Could you not just carry the door's steps round the back for 5 minutes?

I have seen racks that are bolted to bumpers or towbars and are just a foot or so above ground level that would take less lifting.
