Second trip cock up

Another one is to remember to hitch up properly.  I once forgot to take the little red ball (the one you use with the hitchlock).  As a consequence it looked as if we were hitched up, but in reality the hitch was just resting on the tow ball.  You can use you imagination as to what happened when I pulled away.  That cost me a new brakeaway cable, and it took 4 of us to lift the hitch off the floor!

This is our first time with an Alko and I was getting very frustrated that I couldn't get the hitch to lock on, that red ball 🏀 is a real pain at times 😂😂

add it to the list of experiences. 

There will be many more . After 30 years we still make silly mistakes. But have had lots of experience and advice . 

Just don't take it too seriously and as long as no one gets hurt or causes damage it is ok .

I was thinking of the OP when I was trying to get the EHU working yesterday.  It had been one of those days.  I tried both free sockets checked they were not the twist in kind.  Ventured to ask my neighbours who said they had just made a brew.  (Humph had they overloaded the bollard?). Oh no it was me I ALWAYS connect the caravan end first except yesterday!    

Oops! I'd  have just kept quiet ..... 

never seen that exact quote but I like it and will use it a lot, even after 20 years of camping we still forget, or even remembered but still left behind lots of things, happens to us all from time to time but so long as you don’t leave other half, dogs or kids at home should be able to sort it out or manage until you forget next time

I think grandmas are allowed to admit the odd mistake aren't they?  None of us can be perfect all the time surely?
