Help with dimensions

If you go on Google you will see that lot's of well known firms are selling the thule elite bike rack and they have all the dimensions you require. 

I would have thought it made little difference as shorly it folds up to give a reasonably flat surface area. covers are not that tight that you need extra room for a rack. 

As I said on Caravan Talk the rear GRP molding of the Swift Challenger is deeply recessed in the centre, so the rack will not really protrude.

I've never quite understood that design feature. It adds to the van length but detracts from internal space.

Hi

Thanks for your replies.

it does protrude slightly and the cover manufacturer has said they make the cover slightly differnetly to accomodate it. I relaise that it does sit in the recess slightly , but it does protrude and I dont want to have a scenario where I pay £3-400 for a cover  and then have to take the rack off everytime I cover the van.

If I cant find anyone that has the config, then does anyone hknow how deep the recess is from the "protruding edge around it?

The rear is no different to any other 2020.2021 etc as they all have the bars ready for a rack as standard.

Thanks

Suggest you take delivery of caravan, fit the bike rack, take measurements, then order the cover. In that order.

 Thanks for the comments/advice. I am quite particular about my caravans and (sad as it is) I normally always wash and then cover  after each outing (very sad I know). I live in a wooded area and the cover certainly helps keep off all the muck, so my plan was to try and get ahead of the game a littel and not have it sat around unprotected. I guess I might be forced to wait until I take delivery before I can place my cover order, but at the moment I am told it could take up to 12 weeks to get one made.

I really appreciate the comments though, thanks.

I would certainly wait until you have the van.

I hope it doesn't happen to you but just suppose they send you a right lemon and you reject it on the spot which does happen. You could be stuck with a cover and no caravan.
