OMG! Do you know how long I have wanted to be able to bring the bike on/with/in in van? I never even thought of using a garage like that, though it is obvious now. What type of van is that?  Did you have to modify it to take the bike? Any issues with payload weights? I can see the ramp but can you load/unload on your own or do you need to have help?

it's a merc based rapido with a 4T MGV. comes in at 50kg under rear axle weight with 80l of fresh water on board.
bike has to have screen removed to fit in (gixxer 6 fits straight in).
i ride it up the ramp with me to the side then push it in the last 2-3 ft. gravity is on your side when unloading.
it was bought so that i could travel to TD's and relax between sessions............and galavant all over europe too!

Guess what I have started saving for? An upgrade to my 24 year old Dethleffs  :lol . It looks like that new kitchen my wife wanted is going to have to wait just a little longer.
