After much research and testing, we have released a new mid-post tilting mechanism, this is a game changer for owners of Expanda type vans, Ezytrail Parkes & Ceduna Models, forward fold campers, vans with short drawbars requiring front window/boot access and vans with large hinged front opening boots. There is no need to remove the rack or bikes in order to extend beds or gain access to storage boots. It can also be used on a standard setup where you simply would like more access.

towbar adapter
The Gripsport Towbar Adapter allows you to swap your Van-Rack from caravan to car quickly and easily. Click below for more info.
At Bush Chook RV & Leisure we offer a complimentary assembly and fitting service for customers in the Perth Metro area. If you can get your van to us or you live within a 20km radius of our location (we can fit at your van’s location), we offer free assembly and fitting utilising Gripsport’s Universal Cross Member or if your van already has a suitable cross member. If fabrication is required, you will need to take your van to our fabricator who is based in Wangara, the factory is easy to access with a van.
Don’t pay $400-$500 to fit your Gripsport van rack. No other dealer offers assembly and fitting for free. (NOTE: Does not include fabricating cross member or custom mounting).
Fabrication of the cross member is usually around $150, this can be paid directly to the fabricator. We plan the location of the cross member, assist the fabricator with setting up and install the completed member and rack for no charge. Installation usually takes about 1 hour and customers can wait at the factory whilst fitting.
Van Racks
Gripsport Van Racks are generally fitted to caravan drawbars. A cross member is required to house the Gripsport bolt on mount. Mostly there is no direct welding required unless a custom mounting setup is required. Check the below links for further information.
Yes, Gripsport have recently released the Gripsport Universal Cross Member (UCM). This is an innovative bolt-on solution for mounting a GripSport bike rack or other accessories to your caravan or camper drawbar, without the need for welding. Designed for DIY fitment, the UCM ensures a seamless, low-profile installation while maintaining maximum strength and durability.
Whether you’re adding a bike rack or other essential gear, the Universal Cross Member (UCM) makes mounting simple, safe, and hassle-free.
If you have a short drawbar or the UCM is not compatible because of unmovable items on your drawbar, a custom made cross member maybe required. Generally this does NOT require any direct welding as Gripsport supply “U” shaped “saddles” with the bolt on mount and the new cross member is welded onto them.
Please Note: NOTE: UCM measurement is taken from outside to outside of the chassis rails, at the largest point where you want the cross member installed.
New Release Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism
We originally designed the Bush Chook Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism (along with our post kit) for owners of Jayco Expanda type vans, as the only method to extend the beds was to remove the bikes and the rack. We soon realised it is also perfectly suited to many other applications including caravans with large front opening boots, caravans with short drawbars, Ezytrail Parkes and Ceduna models, forward fold camper trailers and really anyone who would like extra access to items under or behind the rack.
expanda vans
For Expanda type van owners, our new mid-post tilting mechanism means that bikes and the rack no longer need to be removed in order to extend the front bed.
vans with large front boots
For owners with a large hinged front opening boot, like some of the Jayco Sterling/Silverline models and some Euro brands, previously there was no way to access the boot fully without it clashing with the post. This is now as simple as removing the locating pin and tilting the post.
ezytrail vans
For Ezytrail owners with the Parkes & Ceduna models, utilising the existing cross member meant altering or spacing the Gripsport post as the front boot lid clashed with the upper tilting mechanism. The only option was to install a cross member if there was room forward of the existing one. To fit a Gripsport van rack is now as simple as installing our Bush Chook Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism. The front boot can be easily opened as the top of the post assembly swings out of the way allowing full access, this is now as simple as removing the locating pin and tilting the post.
short drawbars
Owners of vans with short drawbars previously could not open their front window or boot as the post or rack assembly would clash. the solution is now as simple as removing the pin and tilting the rack.
standard applications
We have been using the mid-post tilting mechanism on our demo rack for quite a while now, although we have the standard Gripsport upper tilting mechanism installed, it allows easier access to our front boot. We no longer have to duck under the rack to access items in the boot.

Vans like Jayco Expanda’s beds push out over the drawbar, this means the bikes and rack will be in the way. You now have two options to fit a Gripsport Van Rack, either the traditional method of installing a quick release post or our new Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism. This new system means that the rack and bikes can remain by simply tilting the post, select the link below for more information.
Ezytrail parkes & ceduna models
For Ezytrail owners with the Parkes & Ceduna models, utilising the existing cross member meant altering or spacing the Gripsport post as the front boot lid clashed with it. The only option was to install a cross member if there was room forward of the existing one. Fitting a Gripsport van rack is now as simple as installing our Bush Chook Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism. The front boot can be easily opened as the top of the post assembly swings out of the way, allowing full access, this is now as simple as removing the locating pin and tilting the post.
Fitting a Gripsport Van Rack to Ezytrail Parkes and Ceduna Models
We have developed our very own Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism for van owners with a large hinged front opening boot, like some of the Jayco Sterling/Silverline models and some Euro brands. Previously there was no way to access the boot without removing the post, this is now as simple as removing the locating pin and tilting the post. Click the link below for more information.
Yes, but only if the manufacturer has given the appropriate weight rating on the bumper and two bikes will be the maximum number of bikes you can fit to any caravan rear bumper. *It is important to consider your rear overhang laws in your local state. Click the link below for further information.
Short drawbars are always an issue when installing van racks on the drawbar, the bikes need to be close to the van to give the back of the vehicle clearance to the rack when doing tight turns. This can be an issue if items like front windows need to be opened as they clash with the standard Gripsport tilting mechanism setup. Our solution is simple, install the new mid-post tilting mechanism allowing complete access. If your drawbar is short and you have a front opening window, our new Bush Chook Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism is perfect for this application.
Along with our new Bush Chook Mid-Post Kit, this is all that’s required to fit a functioning Gripsport rack to your van. The posts have several holes drilled to adjust the height if required.
carrier weights
- 1 bike – 14kg
- 2 bike – 16kg
- 3 bike – 29kg
- 4 bike – 34kg
bolt on mount weight
- 13kg
The weight of a van rack plus bikes will effect pretty much everything with your vehicle and van. For example, a 2 bike rack weighs 16kg and the bolt on mount 13kg. Add 2 bikes and all of a sudden you have an extra 50-60kg up front. Before installing a Gripsport van rack first check all of your vehicle and van weights including GVM Gross vehicle Mass), GCM (Gross Combined Mass), Rear Axle Loads, TBM (Tow ball Mass), (GTM Gross Trailer Mass) and ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass). For further information select the link below.
If you find your “A” frame lacks the room required to install a cross member or use the Bolt-On Mount (extremely rare), or if you simply prefer to DIY, you can still fit your Van-Rack by fabricating (or having us fabricate for you), your own custom mount for it.
Select the link below for further information.
There are several different post types/sizes, in most applications a tall post will work but in some situations a short or quick release post is required. Note: If fitting our NEW Mid-Post tilting mechanism there is a separate post kit available for this application. For Further information select the link below.
No, GripSport does not include a lock with their racks. We recommend purchasing a strong lock for increased security, there are multiple points around your GripSport bike rack to run a lock through, including the frame of your bike.
All Hitch-mounted GripSport racks can be secured to your car with Gripsport’s Bike Rack Hitch Stabiliser and your own padlock. The stabiliser has a larger hole in the pin to accommodate a padlock.
No, due to heavy wind shear loads, it is not recommended to travel with a cover on the bikes. The forces exerted may cause damage to the bikes and rack.
Gripsport manufactures their own Premium Bike Cover which available to purchase, suitable for the 2-Bike Van Rack an 2-Bike GS-Adventure Rack. Please note: this cover is designed for storage purposes only.
