Need help quickly. I was setting up for the motor mover and had the steadies up (mistake).

My jocket wheel was set in a steel dish to stop it sinking into the grass I tried to lift it up to remove the dish from uderneath and it pitched forward! In a panic - what do I do?

It looks from the photo that the jockey wheel has hit the underside of the A frame, which has stopped it going lower. Fortunate, because if it had caught the fibre glass surround it would have damaged it. As others have said, you should just be able to tighten the clamp and raise it back up. Then wind down the front steadies.

Ours currently looks very like yours by intention. This site is rather sloping and it was the only way we could get the van anyway near level.
