    Yes, I love it. Went from a two arm type to this and so glad we did. Wife wasn't too keen on the price but....

    X2 for ISI.

    Beautifully designed and made and more importantly absolutely first class service and after sales support. Had a small bracket weld break (my own fault) a few years ago when in Lawn Hill NP Qld. Replacement parts sent and shipped free of charge no questions asked.

    Thule bike rack has a simple foot tilt mechanism. You can easily tilt it to open the rear door even if the bike rack is fully loaded.

    Mate, we have a Thule swing-away bike carrier for sale that sounds like will do exactly what you want. I don't ride enough anymore to warrant keeping it and the bikes go on the caravan these days anyway. It plugs into the 50mm hitch receiver and locks closed with a t-handle bolt. Swings away to the driver's side and can lock open. Ideall for the back of our D2. The keylock for the hitch is buggered but all else is OK and it'll hang 4 bikes easily. Will dig out some photos. Send me PM if you want. Cheers, Peter
