Short Product Summary
The Colehill Customs Backpacker is a modular rear door carrier designed to provide flexible exterior storage for VW Crafter and MAN TGE vans. Built to be lightweight, durable and highly adaptable, this system allows you to configure your rear door setup to suit your specific needs.
Accessories such as storage boxes, recovery tracks and bike carriers can be mounted to the system, giving you a fully customisable storage solution for adventure vans, camper conversions and working vehicles.
Product Overview
The Backpacker has been designed as one of the most functional and weight efficient rear door carrier systems available. Its modular mounting platform allows you to customise your setup depending on the equipment you need to carry.
Whether you are transporting bikes, storage boxes, recovery tracks or other gear, the Backpacker provides a versatile platform that can evolve with your build.
Manufactured from fully TIG welded aluminium and finished in a durable black powder coat, the system offers a strong yet lightweight construction that is built to handle demanding travel conditions while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and requires a single hole to be drilled. Instructions are included to guide you through the fitting process.
This system requires 180° rear door hinges to be fitted. Genuine VW hinges are available and can be purchased at a discounted rate when bought alongside a carrier.
Rear door gas struts are also recommended when installing this product and are available at a discounted price when purchased together.
Important Notes
When the carrier is fully loaded, the rear door should be closed deliberately rather than slammed.
The door should only be opened to 90° to avoid damage to the vehicle.
