HI, I’ve just had an ALKO Sawiko Velo III Bike Rack fitted to my Kontiki motorhome, to carry two heavy e-bikes.     However, it looks quite low, with only about 6/7 inches ground clearance.   Not good for ferries and some campsites.    I am meeting with my dealer on Monday to discuss but, initially, I have been told it can’t be raised any further.

Has anyone else on here had a Sawiko rack fitted to a MH?
