Kimberly Karavan

This Kimberley Eco-Suite bike rack had to negotiate one of the busiest drawbars in the caravan world. The Eco-Suite Karavan carries storage, air suspension gear and an EFOY fuel cell up front, and the Extreme Duty two bike carrier, manufactured by iSi with a StrongArm Support Post, slots in around all of it with room to spare.

Careful positioning is the whole story here. With the carrier installed and pivoted up, every drawbar compartment still opens, the air suspension and fuel cell stay serviceable, and there is more working room than when the outboard motor is mounted. One bike rides slightly higher at the back so its handlebars tuck neatly under the seat, a small packaging detail that makes the whole assembly tidier.

Capacity and fit

Each cradle carries up to 32kg with room for a 1600mm wheelbase and tyres to 5.1 inches. The Two Bike Rack Assembly, and carries 64kg, with the load split roughly 70% to the tow ball and 30% through the axle.

iSi has manufactured every caravan bike rack in Mitcham, Victoria since 2007, from Australian mild steel and stainless steel with a zinc primed, textured Dulux powder coat finish, and a lifetime warranty on each. If your drawbar is crowded, send the sales team photos; configurations like this one are what they solve daily.
