HI We have purchased a new Nova Terra sportz 19.6 caravan which we pickup in April. We are having a bike rack for 2 bikes fitted and we are trying to decide the best place to mount it.

I am new to the forum and looking for some assistance. Can anyone help me find where I can buy a hinge. The local Jayco dealer said they are not available. It's a 2012 model and was surprised it's not available as a spare part. The brand is DGN. Refer photo below Thank you

I am happy with the fridge and don't need to upgrade at this stage because our camper has a fridge. The CF35 has recesses that allow the user to l...
