In the past, for shorter trips, I just loaded the bike into the cargo area without removing the front wheel. Since this is a longer trip, I'm looking for ways to be more efficient with space.
I've been researching floor mounts ... the one below seems to have gotten pretty good reviews (I assume I'd just screw it to a board to provide stability).

Curious for any experience you all have had with this approach for carrying your bike - have you found them helpful, sturdy enough (and safe for the bike!) for carrying your bike in the cargo area of your vehicle over long distances?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
That is what I use in our honda ody. I mounted them on an aluminum strut i got from work and then mounted it to a piece of 1inch oak board. Works great. You sure the crv has the height for this setup?
