Hi
I'm looking to make a teardrop style trailer to use with my camper. The issue I have is that we recently bought a tow bar mounted cycle rack that I still want to use. Anyone think of a safe way to fix an additional tow ball to the actual trailer frame between the back of the van & front of the trailer so that I can still use the cycle rack.
Cheers

Bit of angle accross the a frame with a tow ball bolted onto it? Would have to be tight up to the trailer though. Why not put tow ball on he back of the trailer?

Agree that the distance from van tow ball to front of trailer would need to be sufficient for cycle rack plus bikes. I could put additional tow bar on back of trailer, just thought it would look better to have integrated lights on the trailer rather than having a light board fixed to bikes at the very back.
Thanks for comments though

If you are making the tear drop why not make a bike shelf at he back, or a strong enough roof?
