Why Fork Mount Bike Racks Are Better for Campervans

When you're living out of a campervan, space and simplicity aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities. You want gear that’s compact, rugged, and easy to use. That’s exactly why so many vanlifers are making the switch to fork mount bike racks, especially our Bike-Hook system.

Here’s why the Bike-Hook fork mount setup is the best way to carry your bike on the road:

✅ Rock-Solid Security

Fork mount racks lock your bike in place using the strongest point on the frame: the front fork. Unlike wheel-hold or hanging racks, there’s zero sway, no bounce, and no contact with your frame or paint. Combine that with our stainless steel security cable and your bikes are safe and secure, even in high-theft areas.

✅ Full Rear Door Freedom

Tired of massive swing gates or racks you have to remove just to open the doors? The Bike-Hook mounts directly to your rear door, not a trailer hitch. That means you can open one or both doors without removing your bikes—perfect for grabbing gear or sleeping without a hassle.

✅ Hitch-Free Design

No need to invest in an expensive trailer hitch or bulky frame. The Bike-Hook works without a hitch system, making it especially useful for smaller vans, Euro-style rear doors, or DIY camper builds where space is tight.

✅ Ultra Compact and Lightweight

Weighing under 3 lbs, the Bike-Hook takes up zero interior space and adds virtually no weight to your rig. When not in use, it fits in a drawer, under a bench seat, or in your gear box.

✅ Built for Every Bike (Including E-Bikes & Fat Bikes)

Whether you ride a gravel bike, mountain bike, fat tire cruiser, or 70lb e-bike, our modular axle adapter system makes it easy to swap out bikes without reconfiguring your whole setup. We even build custom Bike-Hooks for downhill race bikes and ambulance-style campervans.

✅ Protect Your Paint

Every kit comes with clear paint-protection film to guard your doors and frame. Ride hard without worrying about scuffs or scratches when loading and unloading.

If you’re looking for a cleaner, smarter way to carry your bikes on your van, skip the hitch rack. The Bike-Hook fork mount system keeps your rig compact, your doors accessible, and your bikes locked down tight—ready for any adventure.
