Anyone carry bikes on their Hiace and how?
Tow-ball rack or tailgate carrier?
Types and comments please.

If you have a tow ball I would go this route.....
I don't, but the cheapest one from halfords would do I think....it would need longer upper retaining straps though..(sewing machine job)...which are also available from there for about £8.....
I have the 2+1 middle seat config.......I removed the single seat by the sliding door and find that bikes can easily be put in the back now...and still take upto 3 passengers + driver and bikes....(or 7 passengers, driver and no bikes) .....having this small seat removed also makes a handy space to strap a cool box in if required.....just need to develop the muscle to get the seat stored in the attic now!

When I said the cheapest...was refering to the demountable tailgate carrier

Go a tailgate rack from wilco - one without a plate - so no at secure...but ok with a padlock....cost £20ish
