Hi

I'm looking to get a bike rack for two bikes and like the look of the Thule rack that tilts forward. Does anyone know if this is easy to fit yourself to a Troll 530?

Lots of info if you put "bike rack" in the search facility above.

Hi Randa

That looks like the kind I'm after.

Hi Hob

I did go through the results I found using search before I posted but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks everyone. I've decided it's going to be easier and more secure to keep the bikes in the car.

Hello Mike,
I've just fitted a Thule Smart Bike Rack to my Triton, I should have taken pictures to show how I did it.
I didn't have instructions.
Firstly may I add that as well as the Bike Rack, you will require the under section which comes in two parts and it's heavy.
The under section: Place this the correct way up on the ground beneath the area that it will be attached to the drawbar. The under section comes in two parts and are bolted together.
Undo the two retaining bolts, place them in a safe place near to hand. On the upper side is a plate, remove the plate and place it in position above the drawbar. To do this you will have to lift the drawbar cover very gently by putting a little pressure from the underside with the jack.
Once the plate is in position check it and offer one side of the under section, making sure that you move it as far forward as it will go, adjust the plate as required. Fit the four bolts facing down, bit fiddle. Offer one side of the under section and attach to the plate, leave loose at this stage. Do the same with the other half and check to make sure that all is lined up. Place the two bolts back in the under section bringing the two sections together. Once you are happy tighten all bolts.
That's all the hard work done! The two sections are now in place fitted around the drawbar.
Drill from the underside up through the ready made bolt holes(6mm) in the under section which should now be sitting firmly in place.
Once you've drilled out the holes it's time to bolt the Bike Rack in place.

Dutch prices for the Bike Rack: €395.00 from Hymer /Eriba or €595.00 including fitting from our local dealer. IMG_20190701_124635.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Tools, I used a socket set plus a couple of spanners and the drill. I worked alone and found that the small trolly jack was very handy.

Hi ,
You mention an under section required, where did you get it?
