Since I have been driving my 544/444 since 1983 and spent most of my adult as a bicycle distributor to Bike shops. I have had many racks and attachments on my PV. The dome is quite "high" so many roof racks that connect to the rain gutter need to be also high enough to clear the top. I put on a "Saris" rack and used #4 brackets and the short 51" load bars. Once the bars are on securely, you can put many attaching brackets on from bike racks for complete bikes (front wheel attached" to just wheels only. Along with this you can have kayaks and canoes and surfboards upside down or open side up. Or, my favorite, the "coffin". The coffin holds a huge amount of stuff and spare parts when you're not sure what to bring on a long trip. Same rack with different clips will go on my 1800ES and I've had 6 bikes on that for a trip to New Hampshire a few years ago.
