We have numerous 3-bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. I have included a link to them for you. But if your van has a top plastic piece or spoiler on the hatch then you will need to use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2-3.
Since that spoiler is not meant to support weight (which will be applied to the spoiler by other trunk mount racks) the solution is this rack. It has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over the spoiler so no weight is placed on it. I have linked a video showing how it works.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
