My rear rack is the Saris Thelma 2 like the one pictured below. It is a very nice rack but it is designed exclusively for standard bikes.
After more research on this forum I'm hoping I can fit the entire bike into the car with the hatch closed. If a tandem can fit in a Honda Fit I hope I can do something similar in my wifes Rogue.
Another angle I'm investigating is welding up a rack similar to the Draftmaster but just for one tandem bike. Basically just an "L" shape made of 2 inch square steel tubing with a fork mount at the top and a wheel tray at the bottom. The horizontal part of the "L" would go in the trailer hitch receiver and the bike would "hang" vertically behind the car.
