Carrying my Ice Trike on a Motorhome
Carrying my Ice Trike on a Motorhome
Hi I have an Ice Adventure: I was wondering if anyone knew the best way of carrying it on the back of my motorhome? I have a tow bar if required. My wife also has a bike. My motorhome is a Swift Suntor 4 berth. Kind regards Alan

Re: Carrying my Ice Trike on a Motorhome
Hi,
I reinforced the rear panel of my "Coach" built motorhome to take a four bike rack!
(not possible with sandwich glued up panel on yours, anything is possible though)
Best bet will be towbar type rack..........but do they make one....some modification to motorhome / rack I see will be required.

In the US there are a lot of tower based racks out there...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Trailer? rear wheels at back and front hanging over draw bar? Difficult to see from a motorhome but flag on bike may help if you can see through the `van.
Just an idea

Re: Carrying my Ice Trike on a Motorhome
One of the most common ways to carry a trike is a tow bar mounted bike rack
Then place the trike rear wheel uppermost on the rack and secure to the roof with a strap..... or if posh a SeaSucker

Pendle 4 bike towbar carrier with the main tubes extended by roughly 30cm. I've got one off bay and will be doing that. Pendle say its not a good idea but I would say that a folded trike weighs a lot less than 4 bikes. Pendle also make a trike specific rack but at over £300 it seems a bit high priced.
