The 70s Scania 110s & 111s as well as most other Scania models incl. the 1980s 112s & 92s had a trailer brake lever on the steering column, we were encouraged to to use these when pulling contractors trailers so we wore their brakes out, not ours.

This was not to be confused with the 'dead man' lever on the columns of UK built trucks of that era this was the emergency brake which locked everything up as last resort. On the Scania the dead man was incorporated into the handbrake.

Learning all the time.

 I have to have a wheelchair in our car plus we put food taken with us in the car. Although we take all 3 back seats out to give us the room to put the extra in.

Are we wrong. We always check the noseweight. But not after we have connected up.

Thank you we do check whether we look straight between car & c.van. We seem to float along so we must be doing something right as its level right through the units. Lovely and straight.

Thanks for info.
