Breakaway cable length

I've written to Alko explaining the issue. I'll post their reply.

Thanks Jenny.

You are my new chassis guru by the way.

You told me how to get a steady against a fence down . I have been doing this caravanning lark for decades but I had not thought of that one.

I've never been a Guru before, do they have to meditate and all that stuff?

 A stainless steel shackle from boat chandlers is a good coupling to the handbreak link,,or anywhere else !!

Stainless steel? Do you think we are made of money. What's wrong wiv' galvanised?

So come on ...... what was the top tip? 

(my guess is to wind it nearly down when you can get at it, then lift the front on the jockey wheel till the steady is grounded when the caravan is in position )

Us gurus can't just give away our secrets silly nilly, you may well believe that but I cannot possibly say

As a guru it's entirely up to you

It's the sitting in the 'lotus position' while you change the cable that's the tricky part.

That's not he hard part .... it's standing back up again afterwards

Standing up- I'd noticed. There's another thread on CT questioning the use of a drill to lower/ raise corner steadies. We were glad of ours, saving backs and legs yesterday when we arrived for a short break. You can book a flight in a 2 seat Spitfire, here at Sywell £2,500 for a 20 minute flight If bored with Caravanning. No response from Alko yet.

Jenny,

If you, look on the website you will see that the Spitfire flights are fully booked for 2016. Someone has got money!!

I recently flew from Sywell in a Tiger Moth (as passenger) and flew over my own house, it was great fun.
