Could do @Drover but we use the rear bed and prefer not to have to unload the bikes when doing an overnighter!
I have a "Cunning plan/idea".......Unicycles !!!!!!!!!!!! ............ take up less room...................

..... and while your enjoying that cold beer; if anyone dare ask whats happening with the draw bar / bike rack you can casually refer them to all the hard work, options and necessary research discussed in this thread, and continue on enjoying the beerBeginning to think I'll just sit under a tree with a coldie or three :very_drunk:

Friends of ours had the folding drawbar modification as the new 24' van wouldn't fit in the shed!!!!When I was away on the weekend, I noticed something weird on the drawbar of an expanda. It just didn't look normal, closer inspection revealed it was a folding drawbar. I wonder if you could do something like that but have a longer one. By the way G&S chassis do replace drawbars.
Totally agree @S&PIMO, the 'extended' A-Frame should be standard on all vans, and if you want the sorter version, you can request it. Not only does it improve towing and reversing, it gives you a lot more options when it comes to accessorising your van down the track!
flip it over, cut the old draw bar off
I have a dual cab work ute (and a canopy to boot). My advice is don't waste your time. Ive culled heaps of stuff from the old van to make way for the new van ... now the Lovely has noticed the space void, she wants a new giant folding sun lounge the size of a twin deck chair on the Titanic. Don't want that space void to go to waste, do we. Ill spin some tow weight/coefficient yarn, and sneak some fishing gear in there insteadDual cab ute would fix things, just chuck the treadlies in there, but then the missus would find more stuff to chuck in and you'd be back to a rack again.............................
Nice work ..... I can feel my dodgy back slippin a disc or two right now. Wouldn't think typing would do it, but then again Im not a Dr.mine tried something similar once @Crusty181
I all of a sudden pulled a muscle in my back once we were on the road - and SWMBO had to unload and setup
by jeez there was lots of stuff that didnt come home, or go back into the Van once we were home......
