I wanted to fit a cycle rack so we would be able too both explore the local area / pubs / restaurants/ shops etc but, I wanted to take my time and ensure that all that I did was safe – I didn’t want the rack dropping off as we drove down the road!

I use a great forum to gain information  https://www.motorhomefacts.com/forums and I had sought advice there – here is a recent reply to my own post with some added pictures:

Having taken the advice to heart as in where the strengthens parts of the rear frame were – I emailed Laika with the details of the motorhome and sought assistance.

in time honoured dealer fashion (I remain very cynical after Ducati used to charge thirty odd quid for a bevel belt that actually turned out to be a fiver pound Renault twingo fan belt….) they would only tell me that the original design spec was for a Fiamma Carry Bike L80 and I would need to talk to a Laika dealer as they don’t share the specifics with mere mortals….

Pausing only to sup some ale and swear – some phrases in both Italian and Latin to satisfy the Laika gods – I emailed a UK based dealer – just too see….

in the meantime I did a search for the Fiamma Carry Bike L80 and blow me down – turns out that there is a specific Laika version of that Bike carrier.

it also had instructions on how to fit – and when I read those – I found the answer I had been looking for….

so, will be getting the trusty set square and spirit levels out, with some masking take and pencils

A good days work – Especially as Leeds won 🙂
