A cheap fix......Get two bread trays cut off the sides leaving just the base, park your van on these it makes a great grippy pad & spreads the load when parked..or cut 1 tray down it's length you now have 2 tracks ( easy to store in locker ), wedge them down into the rut & the wheels should grip & pull it's self out  

Try not to get caught nicking the trays

Get a hardstanding!

No way am I being dragged about a camping field by a farmer!

Can you pinch me some trays Mick?

Hi Val

So you want me to go nicking for you now, even after you stood me up again

I have six of the cheap green plastic door mats, look like grass that I line up, usually works OK

 I can recall there being a firm some years ago(I'm talking of mid 80s !),who did a limited slip diff or a lock diff conversion for the ducato/talbot express of the time.I can't fully recall the name tho'..something like Quaffe./.Quffe /Quaff?

I've no idea if they'd be still going..but a should assume someone somewhere  does conversion.

It won't be long before someone comes along and tells you to.. park on mats/lower tyre pressures/use sandboards etc..

...but you shouldn't really need to faff about that much,just to pull off a level pitch should you..

At CC sites you can always get a tow by the wardens little tractor, not sure what the coachbuilts are like on the ducato but our Hymer A class is def light over the front, but by moving slow I have always managed to get off a pitch

I used to have this problem with my front wheel drive MH, but since i have gone RWD, it's not been a problem.

I do like Micks amd M Davies soloution tho..........some great ideas on here.

BTW, how are you Val....!

Regards

KC

The company is called Quaife. They are still going, try a Google search. They actually specialise in motorsports work, but they do other projects as well. I don't know if they still do the Ducato LSD conversion though.

I used to have a 5speed Quaif gearbox on a race tuned Triumph twin.  Built like a watch and priced to match.

How about a 12v winch?
