Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.

Our Price
£489.95
RRP: £550.00

Overview:
Thule designed the WanderWay bike carrier specifically for the VW T6 tailgate. It's an excellent carrier - simple to fit, easy to load, and is suitable for all bikes, including eBikes, heavier bikes generally, and large MTBs (with a wheelbase up to 127cm). It's equally suitable for smaller kids' bikes.
Important note: it's not possible to fit this rack to a T6 with a spoiler or other modifications to the tailgate.

Thule designed the WanderWay bike carrier specifically for the VW T6 tailgate. It's an excellent carrier - simple to fit, easy to load, and is suitable for all bikes, including eBikes, heavier bikes generally, and large MTBs (with a wheelbase up to 127cm). It's equally suitable for smaller kids' bikes.
Important note: it's not possible to fit this rack to a T6 with a spoiler or other modifications to the tailgate.
The Thule WanderWay is supplied as a 2 bike carrier and can take individual bikes up to 30kg each; the important matter is that the overall load must not exceed 60kg, even if you are also using the optional 3rd bike adapter and 4th bike adapter.
It also has a wider than normal spacing between the bike wheel trays (31cm if you are only carrying two bikes) so it's great if you have heavier bikes with chunkier frames, for example heavy electric bikes or larger mountain bikes (up to a 127cm wheelbase). It comes with long wheel straps with pump buckles to make it easy to secure your wheels.
eBikes: The WanderWay can take a maximum bike weight of 30kg on each bike wheel tray and, with 31cm of space between the bike wheel trays, it's ideal for a couple of standard eBikes (as long as you can lift them up onto the rack!) In practice, if you are carrying two eBikes there is unlikely to be sufficient weight allowance remaining to carry a 3rd bike. But if for example two of your three eBikes are 15kg each then carrying three will be no problem.
The bike frame holders are lockable and, because they are easy to remove from the bike carrier when they're unlocked, the outer frame holders can usually be moved to a position where they can grab their bike frames without danger of rubbing against the inner bikes. Their lockable AcuTight knobs will “click” when optimal torque is reached, giving you confidence that your bike is held tightly enough.
As you would expect, the WanderWay sits above the rear lights and number plate, keeping both visible.
The platform folds up when it's not in use and it's possible to open the tailgate with the WanderWay fitted - you'll need to remove the bikes first.
Other features / points to note:
- The WanderWay is supplied largely pre-assembled so it's quick and simple to fit to the T6
- You can slide the bike support trays from left to right which makes it easier to get your bikes in the right position before you secure them
- Fine for use with carbon-frame bikes
- You can use the WanderWay if you have an electric tailgate but you'll need to open the tailgate manually
- If you are using one or both of the extra bike adapters, the distance between the bike wheel trays may need to be reduced. The third bike adapter fits to the outer edge of the carrier, 15cm from the 2nd bike position; if the 4th bike adapter is also required then the 2nd bike wheel tray will need to be moved so that all the bike wheel trays are only 15cm apart. In practice, if you want to carry 4 bikes it is likely that any eBike weighing more than 15kg will be too heavy for the WanderWay, regardless of the distance between the bike wheel trays - and 15cm between eBikes would quite likely be too tight

Delivery FAQs
When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.
What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.
Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.
Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
Payment options:
We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

It's not possible to fit this rack to a car with a spoiler or other modifications to the tailgate. Very importantly, please don't order it if your T5 has chrome edging at the base of the tailgate - this rack is likely to dent it.
