Second camping trip with the xc90

Here we go again mountain biking this time in the forest of dean.

Coping admirably......

I've got a little trailer for camping too, four kids and a big dog means not a lot of space in the car! Unfortunately the little trailer looks like my cars had a big poo 😂
Biggest problem is that I can't see it when reversing until it's too late. Already had to fix the fog light once because of it.

What sort of a bike carrier are you using there CBudd?
We have a large(ish) roof box, so I'd been thinking of a tow ball mounted bike carrier but don't want to stop us having the option of a small trailer too.
I'm not keen on the tailgate mounted carriers as they restrict access to the boot, but your bikes seem to just be hovering over the trailer - bit difficult to see from the photos!

And remember the XC90 tailgate is fiberglass (or some type of reinforced plastic), not metal.
So I wouldn't be clipping any bikes to it....

You mean the spoiler at the top of the tailgate is plasti/compostite material, the tailgate is steel.

Anyway, me slumming it camping.

The top section with the glass is composite where as the bottom section is steel.
