MEMO Swing Away BIKE RACK For Fiat Ducato - Peugeot Boxer - Citroen Relay - Vauxhall Movano

[@Phil_Smith67]

I brought the same bike cover and was impressed with the quality.

[@RickandHeather]

Yeah way better than our old one!

[@cathrynbagley8005]

It looks like a well thought out bike rack.

[@RickandHeather]

Certainly easy to use on a van for sure 👍

[@danielrussell446]

Hi Rick great video as ever hope you and heather and poppy are well what’s substantial and well thought out bike rack much better than the usual arrangement

[@RickandHeather]

It’s great yes but very heavy! We’re well, missed you in the comments glad you are ok 🙏

[@RickandHeather]

@danielrussell446 nice one 👍

[@IanRainford-t9k]

Thanks for sharing your video. We’re having a Memo Van-Star swing out rack fitted on our Consort Oslo when we pick it up in a couple of weeks. Great to see how it works and that you’re finding it good to use. Thank you 👍🏻

[@RickandHeather]

No problem happy it’s helped 😊

[@carol_campervanner]

Lol I love your bike rides

[@RickandHeather]

Ahhh you’re the one! 🤣

[@colinnewmarch1106]

Thanks for that very useful

[@RickandHeather]

No worries loads of people had asked so we thought we’d film it

I am arranging a custom-made swing out rack for my Ducato XLWB (6.363m) here in Australia. The rules here state that the overhang is to be no more than 60% of the length between wheel axles. The van has a tad over 4m between axles. The existing overhang (that is, the distance from the rear axle to the furthest part of the rear of the vehicle ) will allow me a tad over 1m of extra overhang. I am planning on the rack and bikes to be no more than an additional 800 to 900 mm. I am actually waiting to get the new van in the next few weeks. May as well be planning things while waiting. I enjoyed watching your video and have learnt some things from it. Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Paul, amazing we made it to Australia 🇦🇺 enjoy your travels 😊

Good review on a cool item 👍👏

[@RickandHeather]

🙏 thank you

[@LeisureBit]

Looks good - very substantive and clever having it swinging out rather than like mine tipping back - shame you put the padlock on as what a great idea 😀 catch you tomorrow - safe journey - all the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@RickandHeather]

Haha your plan to steal is thwarted (unless you undo the wing nuts….) see you tomorrow

[@ruthkirby9277]

Seems like the best system for the back of a panel van. We made the mistake of fitting a tow bar and getting a Thule bike carrier = can’t open the back doors😂. However it stops you wanting to fill the boot which helps keep the payload down👍🏽. If we win the lottery we are getting a Consort Pace XL and chucking the bikes in the back😀. Good to see how the Memo works though.

[@RickandHeather]

Yeah although we had no boot on Pearl we couldn’t open the rear doors, this is the better compromise we think 👍

[@richiebainbridge2608]

Hi, have you been able to get it on a ferry without it grinding out ? It makes me wonder as my van is the same chassis with the same length overhang. Thanks Richie.

[@RickandHeather]

Hi Richie, sorry we’ve not been on a ferry yet, although it’s very similar to a towbar so I’m hopeful it’s ok!

[@richiebainbridge2608]

@@RickandHeather thanks for your reply. It was worth an ask 😂

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

I do like the swinging rack shame it doesn’t have locks. Do you leave the bikes on the rack when you’re on site? Thanks for sharing. Take care Gill

[@RickandHeather]

Yeah they’re on there the whole summer now.

[@davidjames1817]

Nice design 😊. One observation though, what would stop someone undoing the wing nuts, taking the bolts out and taking the rack, bikes and all 🤔

[@RickandHeather]

Not a lot other than the weight and hassle I guess 🤣
