As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Susan also look for Scott stabilisers,
I used to strip my home made Scott copy down by removing the bolt through the centre of the pads and cleaning the pads with brake cleaner or replacing them, they collect quite a bit of dust. Then tighten the bolt so it takes about 60lbs to move the blade, the bathroom scales come in handy.
The Haynes Caravan Manual used to have instructions on how to clean them. Alternately new pads from towsure

Are you sure you actually need it? In my opinion, a properly loaded caravan shouldn't. When I first started towing back in the 1970s I used one all the time until one day I drove from Norfolk down to Cornwall and forgot to fit it. When I got there and discovered that, then realised that I hadn't noticed it was missing, I never bothered with it again and still don't. My current caravan has an ordinary hitch, not a stabiliser one, and it tows beautifully. For several years I made a living towing various trailers and not one of them was ever fitted with a stabiliser. I don't think I have ever seen a professional trailer fitted with a stabiliser.
