It's a pity that this thread has ended up a bit of an argument. But as said, let's all learn a bit from the whole discussion. Over the years I have seen many posts saying stabilisers are not necessary, it is all down to loading etc. My own experience recently (on our last trip out, my thread started elsewhere) confirms this as the lever on our AKS1300 had working itself halfway off by the time we had got to our site (approx 90 miles) The same thing happened on the way home. I duly stripped, serviced, and replaced the pads, on the unit. A quick trip of around 40 miles yesterday confirmed that all is well, the lever was nice and tight to operate and stayed down even with a 'spirited' drive.
The point is - during that last trip down to the coast and back we had absolutely no problems with stability and I do not hang around. However, I pay particular attention every time out to the car and caravan tyre pressures, the caravan loading, and the noseweight. I do realise that the stabiliser may not be completely necessary but I like to use mine.
Good forum this is, but please keep it polite!! I agree that there are some very experienced towers on here and I take heart from the fact that I can learn even after all these years from those who have been at it longer than me.
