[Chariot Station] Custom made station for Thule Cougar Chariot

Just wanted to share how i built an extremely simple docking station for my Thule Cougar 1 Chariot.

Due to my garage being pretty small, i need to detach the chariot from the bike overnight. The idea is to be able to keep the Chariot while in "Bike mode" (with the bike connecting arm) but detetached from the bike. Without a docking station the bike arm would touch the ground and might be destorded over time.

Here is a view from the bottom of the chariot with all the useful measurements



With those measurements I could then design my docking station. The dock is pretty simple and is made of 4 pieces of mdf wood. The dimensions are so that it fit perfectly with the plastic section on each side of the front of the chariot.

It is made with 2x 11,5 cm x 15 cm and 2x 11,5 cm x 44 cm to fit as following:
Each pieces of wood are connected with wood screws with countersink in order to avoid having the screws scratching the chariot



Here is how it looks like when finished :


And with the chariot docked on it :


Don't hesitate to comment if you have a suggestion or if you like to know anything about the chariot from Thule (great piece of equipment by the way !)
