I recently saw a Tule rack on the rear = door of a Westy. This was set-up for bikes (The owner said he = could get five bikes on, and lift it with just two.) It had one = Tule bar attached across the top of the door with the forks mounted on = the bar. The rear wheel of the bikes rested on the bumper (I = imagine you can just bungie them down). The rack was attached = with mounts for a gutterless. For Taurus that someone gave = him. If all you want is to mount bikes, this seems like a great = system to use, but I think other bar type systems can be used in = addition to Tule if you can find the right mounts.
