Hi All

I am looking for some advice on how can I protect the side of the "A Frame" which has the jockey wheel pushed against it when traveling? I'm finding as its only fibre glass a tiny little piece about 10cm long has broken when lifting the jockey wheel. is there some type of cover/guard that could be placed over the fibre glass side which would then stop this happening?

Yes and I know when lifting the wheel in future take more care!

The car door protectors is a really good idea, and very neat!  However, for the moment we'll stick to our noodles until the current one runs out.  It's bright green, and we also use it to pack at the side of the handbrake handle because it catches on the Alko hitch!

a nice piece of shiney stainless steel glued (Tigerseal/Sikaflex sticks better than the proverbial to a blanket) to the side might work .... shiney is good cool

Hi All

Tried getting the Noodles in Essex just not something you can find! mind you did get some pipe lagging and cut that to size! prefect fit so will try this idea first next time out and if not will look for others! However as our van is an Avondale it doesn't have a straight "A" frame at the front! its curved to make it look nicer? so getting anything to clip on on stick to may be more tricky than we think!

It's possible  to bend steel plate wink
