bike rack on the back
Does anyone know where I can get a rear bike rack (not towbar) for a smaller price than the Fiamia? Can a car one fit a van with adjustments?

I've got a universal folding one I have had for 20 years - on every shape of car from T25 to Porsche, so it fits anything, and have done several thousand miles.
Only thing keeps me worring is that the load is partially on the centre of the rear window, so have nightmares that it will punch straight through the window when I go over a pothole. But, it is well padded and load is spread, and did not even cause a problem when off-roading with it on my landrover, so probably just overly nervous.
Other consideration is that whilst you can lock the bikes to the rack, the rack is not locked to the van, so a very strong oportunist thief could walk off with your bikes and rack together.

the E-bay offering looks like a Paulchen scrap yard special to me compared the Halfwits universal....
