I have a problem when first setting up my sunncamp holiday 350se trailer tent. I drop the back legs then lower the front with the jockey wheel. I then drop the legs further and straighten up with the jockey wheel (as per the instructions) which should leave the trailer off the wheels and on the four legs. My problem is that when you climb on it the trailer moves down on the legs and is now on the wheels making it wobbly (do i make sense ). I have tried to tighten the legs up but it has those plastic star shaped handles and you cant get a grip properly and using a tool would break them. Is it possible to get ones with metal handles ?

reckon you could replace them with m8 bolts least then you could tighten them with a spanner or socket

We have a sunncamp holiday 240 and we replaced the nuts with ones which were slightly larger.  The legs on the sunncamp are definately a design flaw.
