(relating to the 8ft Nesting Pram Dinghy)

We originally developed our nesting 8ft Pram Dinghy for the yacht tender market, but have since had several enquiries from customers seeking a "Camper
Van Tender". Our solution - which would work for any vehicle with a towbar, not just camper vans -
is an adaptation of the Thule EasyBase, a multi-purpose rack that mounts on a towbar.

It is rated for loads up to 60kg, so can take any version of the Pram Dinghy.

It is much easier to load than a roof rack, as you only have to lift half the
boat at a time, and the base itself is only about a foot above the ground.
This makes it perfectly viable to do on your own.

These photos show a rather nice carbon fibre version of the Pram Dinghy
(with many options including teak decking on the bow and stern buoyancy
tanks), mounted on the back of a customer's Volkswagen T5 Camper.

We custom-make an adapter that attaches to the EasyBase, so that the stern section of the boat can be securely bolted on (using the standard joining bolts and holes in the joining bulkhead).

The bow section is then nested  into the stern, and held there using stainless steel ratchets/ webbing straps.

As the standard EasyBase comes complete with towbar mount and electrics, all you need to add is a numberplate.

Total price of this set-up, including the EasyBase, our custom adapter,
the stainless steel ratchet straps and small modifications to the boat to
secure the straps in place, is £300.
