Keep looking at your van and it puts mine to shame. Any advice for fitting the reversing cameras please? Iv noticed iv got additional relays in LHS plastics at the rear which I presume is something to do with the WAV conversion. Or did you take a fresh feed from the fuse box?

Thanks

Fitted a modified Fiamma Carry Bike CADDY.

Original design is a high level carrier that I can't lift my eMTB up into ! 25Kg

Image

It is however the only carrier that bolts properly to the Caddy and doesn't just use straps that I could find. There is a German Low-Loader but it is all straps and add-ons and also costs about £800+ :shock:

Just need to sort the numberplate stuff now ...

Nice work, that's a great modification for the rack as it's really high in standard form.

Great work on the bike rack, I very nearly bought one myself but was put off by the loading height. I ended up getting a towbar fitted as I already had a suitable rack for the car…

How visible are the rear lights when loaded up with two bikes? Or do you use it with a trailer board?

It needs a trailer light board when carrying bikes now that it is lower.

Sorry for the delayed response, I've resubscribed to the thread now.

Yes, relays are for WAV Ramp Lock.

I power my rear camera via a relay from a fusebox permanent live. I trigger the relay from the Android CanBus Decoder Reversing signal.
