I'm looking at getting a bump stop/bike grab for the van - which is best?

I don't want to permanently mount it in the van, as I have seats in and out in the back often. However a bit of sideways support would be good.

Anyone used one in a van without it bolted down? It'll make strapping down etc. a lot easier and quicker.

Fix a couple D-ring bolts to the floor of the van, strap the bars on full lock to the wall of the van, And F+R wheel down, doesn't get in the way then. Thats what we have in the works van, incase I borrow it for the weekend.
