You wouldn't know what dealer would you?  I'm also looking for a bike rack 
for my bus.  I was considering mounting the spare tire on the front since I 
already have a spare tire rack that holds 3 bikes but I would prefer having 
the bikes in the back.  

Are you saying that you can open the hatch with this rack in place?  That 
would be great!  Of course I realize this _could_ only be possible when there 
are no bikes on the rack.

If you have any more info on the one you saw, I can call the local dealers (I 
think there are about 8 in the lower mainland) and ask questions and maybe 
get a phone number for the manufacturer or distributer.
