I have just received my 'small' rally steering wheel from Justkampers ...i fitted it tonight after work....and then took the T25 around the block to try it out..FANTASTIC thats what i say....i was told it would make the steering a lot harder ....but that is in my opinion a lot of rot..... it is to me...just the same as the 'Bus' wheel... it is also so much easier getting in and out of the driver's side door .. worth every penny me thinks.....well done justkampers....you have come through for me again.....thanks guy's......

Hi Kev,

Is this a big thing for camper owners in your neck of the woods, opting for smaller steering wheels? I only ask as it isn't something I have every come across before. Granted it seems odd but fair play to you for doing something with your vehicle that makes driving it even more enjoyable.

The main reason for changing my 'bus' wheel...was because someone tried to get in the camper from the side 'sliding' door... twice......so i have taken the lock and handle off and just open it from the inside only....and when we are away and have the drive - away - Awning on the side we cannot use the front passenger's door...so it is down to the drivers door ....hence i needed a smaller wheel ...cos the 'bus' one was in the way....for getting in.....well thats my excuse anyway.....

I can see another reason why someone would do this. Imagine if you were really large, had a really huge belly, for example. A smaller steering wheel would help here, especially if the seat can't be moved too far back.
