Default Bike Rack

Hello guys. I am the proud owner of a 1994 B250 Conversion Van here in Spain. I want to find a bike rack for two bikes for the rear double door, but here in Europe it is nigh on bloody impossible to find anything for this van as it was never sold here officially.

I donīt have a tow hitch, so those type of racks are no use. Can anyone help me out with a name and model of a rack that they have or that they know will fit my van (preferrably not screwed to the door but strapped)? I assume Thule will have something, but their webpage sucks and all they show is the rack and not the rack mounted on any vehicle.

Thanks in advance

Can you add a tow hitch? That opens up a world of possibilities for bike racks.

I agree. A 2" receiver hitch should be findable, and LOT of accessories will plug into that.

Once you have a 2 inch receiver hitch installed, all you need is a bike rack like this one, or similar.

Hey guys. A tow hitch is a possibility, but a pain in the butt here in Spain and really expensive (you have to pay for an inspection and inclusion of the tow hitch in the technical spec paperwork). In the end I found a cheap option that I am using now on holiday. It is from Camco and is made to go on the ladder on the rear door. Carries two bikes which is all I need. I will try and upload photos later.
