Has anyone got one of these on the bongo, we are off to center parcs soon and my paddy hopkirk is only a 3 bike, unless I can rig up extension bars,any comments about the rack would be appreciated, they are around £78.00.

I've not got one, but it looks pretty nifty. It looks like you'd have to turn the bars 90 deg. so they don't fowl the glass/boot though. Same applies to my 9503 wheel resting rack when you mount on the closest one.

Hi there,
I have the 3 bike version of this. Works very well in the main.
How heavy are the bikes as you have a downforce limit of around 75kg on most towbars?
Only downside really is the light bar could be fairly easily damaged as it's not well protected. So far so good on mine though but something to watch out for.
