Thanks Jouk,

Is windowcleaner1 still here?  I wonder how he is getting on with it, and if it is easy to put on and off?

peter, i have not seen him for a long time, i know that he has been retired 4 years now
and am sure thats why he came up with the idea, to save him lifting it, even when i saw it last year i comented on it, think its still a brilliant but simple idea peter, the only fault i have on it, is the holes on the roof to hold the hooks, on the bungie hooks,peter you can email him, just check the member list

peter got a couple of good names for it

piggyback trolley

hitch trolley

It does seem quite a bit of work to get it on and off.  It looks like he would have kept it attached most of the time.  Aren't the bungees in the space between the back door and the car itself?

I don't think he could have got the trolley inside that car.

I think with a system like this it really has to be very easily removed to make it worthwhile.

yes your right peter,  i thought they where drilled holes, i still think its a great idea peter,
especialy if you have made great improvments with it, i dont think you would have any problems selling them, its a brilliant idea, and i would stay on track with it, i personaly would say its a best seller,

YES, its the same design on most bike racks, they have clip that slide over the tailgate (between the tailgate and the car)

Just so as people are not confused with the picture at the top of the page and what I have done.

The most important part is how I attach it to the vehicle.  If you notice on the particular transit van in the picture you will see that the trolley is right behind the back door.  Now apart from what I put in place of the ball, you need some kind of supporting framework, and when you take the trolley away the framework is left behind, and the framework is in the way of opening the door.  The way I developed it the whole framework just lifts off after the trolley is taken off.
