Does anyone know if the rear of the Nuevo is already reinforced to take a bike carrier

We had a Fiamma bike/box carrier on our 09 Nuevo, check with A/S workshop for best position.

looks like, from reading literature, the rear of the Nuevo is ply boarded on the iside of the rear panel
Does anyone know how much of a job it is to get to the inside to fasten the nuts & bolts
In my old Clubman I had to remove the cooker to get access on that side

If you do bolt threw the rear wall make sure you use as large a spreader plate as you can get on the inside wall, another little tip is to use copper/ stainless steel tube cut to the thickness of the wall, drill the mounting holes a little larger to accommodate the tube and then pass your bolts threw the tubes, when you tighten the bolts the tube stops the wall construction squashing up, I used this method when I installed the bike rack  and security handle an my fibreglass walled Autotrail.  Also use plenty of sealer adhesive to ensure there are no leaks around the bolt holes
