from my previous van I have a bike rack that attaches to a 2in trailer hitch. We recently "upgraded" to a Sprinter. Currently we don't have a trailer hitch but it's actually nice to have and I don't want to necessarily get rid of it. So I am wondering about alternative ideas.
One idea I have, is to mount a bike rack on the rear door - 3 bikes on the bottom, 2 bikes above. I saw a bike rack on a Ford Transit that mounts the bike rack on the rear door (although only for two bikes).
So, my question - does something like that exist (where to get it from) or (I guess that should have been my first question) can the door support that weight?
Est. one bike at 30 lb, so that's 150 lb plus whatever the rack weights
Any other ideas how to get 5 bikes nicely stored on the rear?
thanks for any input!
