We agonised for ages over how to carry bikes on our VW California. Some people prefer the rear tailgate mounted fold out carrier (we prefer the look), but we settled on buying the VW Towbar option for our Cali together with a fancy fold up Thule towbar mounted bike carrier.
In this video we show the towbar from scratch - where it is stored, how it is fitted and locked on. We then unpack and install our bike carrier for you to see. One of the best things about this particular setup is that the bike carrier can be folded down with bikes on, and the tailgate then opened (with a mod that I explain).
What is your favourite bike carrier setup? Let us know in the comments below.
The Thule Easyfold XT2 931 version of the bike carrier can be seen here: bit.ly/3AB05R1
The exact same (Volvo branded) version of the carrier in this video is here (Easyfold 931): bit.ly/39Lp9sN
The Volvo branded carrier is a lot cheaper than the XT2, as a quick tip.
Keep a look out for our other new videos coming to the channel soon and a BIG thank you to all of our wonderful subscribers. We can’t wait to share more content with you over the coming months.
Take care, sit back and grab yourself some California Time !
