I'm selling a rear-mount Paulchen bike rack. Includes basic Paulchen
rack with fold-down cargo shelf, two bike carriers with telscoping
trays, and the optional spacing bar to keep the bikes off  your van.
This is probably one of the best-regarded rear racks for the Vanagon.

I really like this rack for carrying bikes, but unfortunately it won't
work for our tandem bike and I have to buy a hitch-mount rack (which is
bound to be less stable). This German-made rack is custom-fit for the
Vanagon, follows the contours of the hatch perfectly, and easily
attaches and removes without tools. It has a shelf that folds out of
the way when not needed and allows you to carry bulky items like gas
cans, coolers, a spare tire, etc. The two bike mounts mount to the
fold-down shelf. The rack design allows good visibility to the rear and
does not interfere with the rear wiper. This is the original-style rack
with the additional crossmembers (better for tying loads to).

This rack used to be imported only by Owasco VW in Canada, but they
don't list it on their Web site any more. I'm not sure if they are
available anymore in North America. The original invoice is included.

The rack is in very good condition, and is always stored inside when
not being used. I can take digital photos if anyone is interested.
Located in the Philadelphia area, but I could ship if needed. Or, I
might be able to meet as far south as Delaware. Price is $360.
