I’ve got one of the older ones.

Unfortunately I’m not selling, but quick review below if creamy or others are considering but not tried one…..

Overall a great piece of kit and really well made. We are short of storage space and being able to hang it on the garage wall without it taking up much space is really useful. Easy to wheel bike onto it and lock it (wheel clamp) single handed is handy and works well.

The downsides are takes maybe 20mins to assemble and put away at the end of each trip. Tie down positions are a bit limited on mine as mostly it’s the unit under the wheels (guessing you could tie across each unit if you get the double?). Lastly, unlocking the pins to lower the front from loading (angle) to driving position (horizontal) can be tricky. Ok on the dirt bike single handed, but the road bike is harder. Help from a mate to put pressure on the ramp sorts this out.

The older (blue) ones aren’t made any more and have been replaced by the black ones. Don’t buy two blue single ones and ask the seller for the kit to convert to a double as they don’t sell the kit anymore.

Cheers.

Edit - should have said uk shop not seller (if buying second hand) re converting to double.

In my many centuries, I've seen a caravan fish tail and flip, and a bike trailer fish tail and flip. Neither filled me with confidence. When I have picked up bikes, it's always been in a van. I'm sure they were owner errors but they gave me the heebeegeebee's
 
I have a Renault trafic , long wheel base & high roof so perfect for bikes but I`m thinking of selling it as just too many vehicles at the moment and it really irritates me having to tax them all even if they are barely used. I`ve been looking at trailers recently and found what appears to be a very interesting French design and I`m quite seriously considering one if I get round to selling the van.
In the mean time @Creamy if you get stuck you are welcome to borrow my van, I live near Woburn , I think you are not so far away. It is 20 years old and possibly best not described as immaculate but its reliable and fun to drive.

Here is the funky French trailer, anyone on here ever seen one ?

Very kind of you. I bought a Motolug today so I'm sorted now.
 
If you have the space then just buy a ifor Williams GD series, loading ramp standard, side extensions optional , great for any kind of transport, including bikes👍
