Bike rack - deployable towbar

I’m looking for a bike rack to carry just one bike to be use whilst the caravan is attached to the car.

I currently have a maxxraxx which attached to the backing plate of the Towbar on my last car and allowed the boot to be opened and the caravan to be attached.

Unfortunately new sport (2014) has a deployable Towbar and it doesn’t fit as it would stop the deploy and can’t see where it would attach.

Are there any other options or ideas? I can’t put the bike on the roof as I’m short and have a shoulder issue which means I can’t raise 1 arm above chest height. Can’t go in the car due to lack of space. Can’t go in the caravan due to risk of damage getting in/out the ‘van.

I don't think there are any options that would fit onto the car. Even a tailgate mount would probably be an issue with the spoiler on the RRS.
So the only option I can think of would be to have a mount fitted to the caravan itself.

Thanks.
Going on the back of the caravan is not an option but the ones that go on the a frame, maybe an option.
I am thinking of changing the Towbar anyway as the electrics need upgrading (not compatible with led lights), but that’s a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut route
