I don't know about the Thule racks but I bought an Altera Strada 3 after multiple reccomendations on the forum. It slides out and down to clear the lower tailgate by quite a way giving full access to stand behind the rack.
Photos here on this thread - http://disco3.co.uk/forum/topic64761.html?...p;start=15
Not cheap but a very good piece of kit

Mark

thanks 
think i'm going for this one http://www.thule.com/en/GB/Products/Bike-C...Way-G2-921
can use it on car normally and when towing Sankey.
I'll have to get a maxxraxx or something for when towing the caravan as cant seem to get one that can be used for both with integral light board Duncan

The Thule warehouse is just down the road from you at Clevedon. I dont know how helpful they are but might be able to look at the real thing, in the flesh, and then decide. They should have everything in stock.

Apparently the Clevedon warehouse closed in September Duncan

Duncan,
I have a Thule one that fits on the towbar. Yes it drops down so you can open the top and lower part of the tailgate. Pop up and try it if you want.
