ISDW Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 A friend of mine is getting a rig, and needs to figure out how to transport it. She has a Ford Transit Connect type van, one of the smaller ones, so it won't fit inside with the dogs etc. She's thinking either a trailer or somehow putting it on the outside of the back of the van. How do people with rigs transport them please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 When we had a small van (Peugot Expert) we put it on the back door using a bog standard Halfords bike rack. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Halfords 'value' low mount bike carriers, drilled and bolted through the doors with reinforcing plates inside the doors. Means we can open the doors with the rigs on them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISDW Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 fantastic, thanks. I'll have to get them to sign up to here now so that they can see:) I didn't realise the normal bike carriers would hold them, might come in handy with ours as well then, I'm hoping ours will fit in the back of the van, but it might not as we increase other things inside.

stepcodd Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi ISDW I just joined. Thanks for the link Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Roof bars are another option for smaller vans, though you realistially need two people to get it on and off, and don't forget how much higher it makes your van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
