I always used a piece of plywood with a fork mount or two bolted to it to hold bikes upright. Sometimes I put a riser under one of the fork mounts so the bike handlebars would nest. I don't remember ever having a problem loading bikes into the Caravan - even tandems with two seats sticking up and a stoker handlebar sticking out on both sides.
