I have a 2014 20 ft Jayco Conquest and want to fit a Fiamma Carry-bike Pro C rack to it. I can see I have to fit it off centre and to the left to avoid drilling into the bathroom but is there an optimum position for it? If someone has dimensions they could post it would be much appreciated. cheers, Tom -- Edited...

I was just wondering if products with sodium percarbonate in them (nappy soakers) would be ok/good for cleaning burnt on foodstuffs on cooking equipment. For example WeberQ trivets. I was thinking you could leave them soak overnight??? Cheers John.
