You would not be able to carry a tandem on a paulchen, tandems are very
long.  A tandem is longer than the width of the van
and you don't want the bike sticking out beyond the sides.


Just fyi, I've built a few tandem bike carriers for vanagons. The bike is
carried vertically on the rear door.
My Tandem carriers have been used on passenger vans, westys and
adventurewagens.
