I have a rear mounted towbar bike rack which I have to remove to fully open rear van doors. I have seen a towbar rack that has a "trombone" function which would clear the doors easily. I did make note of the name but of course cann't find the bit of paper, does anyone know the name of this manufacturer please? regards
 
One of these?

Clearly demonstrating how it doesn't work when you want to open the gas locker. :p

Here are some which swing away. Bike carriers for Van conversions & campervans
The Van-Star replaces towbar and has it's own rack included, Van-Swing is in place of towball and you can use your towball rack. Note that for the Van-Swing you cannot use the towball for actual towing, not sure on the Van-Star if you can also have a towbar, but either way you can't tow with bikes on. I made my own which is like a combination of both and when not carrying bikes can still use the towball.
Another make is Busbiker which can sometimes be used with a towbar when not carrying bikes.
