Hi all,

Regarding bikes, I think the top is not the best solution:
-not easy to have access to. (unless you are very tall/strong).
putting 2 bikes up there takes some effort. 4... it's even more trouble
to have access in the middle of the van.
It depends what kind of trip you plan, but I would not be happy to have
to do it everyday....
- lot of wind resistance too.
To me the best thing is on the hatch/back. It's low, easy to access.
For 4 bikes, you'll have to go with the hitch option.  because of the
weight.
it's too much weight for the back door (imagine you have to open it, or
to access the engine.)

I have seen some models, based on the hitch, where you can move the rack
slightly, so you can open the back door.

A guy in Quebec sells this:

I do not tink there is an easy answer, or a cheap solution. I hope you
already have a hitch. 4 bikes make a big limitation.

HTH,
JP
