Jockey wheel road clearance.

We have a Coachman 460/2 2001 and every now and again especialy driving over bumps the wheel hits the road surface.The nose weight is 75 klg and the Witter bracket is also 75 klg max'and i make sure it is balanced out as near as possible.I have also cut out a piece of the fairing to take the wheel up as far as possible. My thoughts have been to get smaller wheel but i expect that that will give me other problems, the other is to have extra springs in the suspension but when i asked Skoda they would not comment. The outfit when loaded seems to be level.Any further ideas ?.
 
For a start you could check the towball height with the caravan hitched up. It should be between 350 and 420mm measured from the ground to the centre of the towball.
 
I guess the wheel can't be removed completely for travelling? I have a Bailey Ranger and the jockey wheel clamp can be wound fully open to remove the wheel.
