You will be great. You will feel that you have been doing this for ages after your first trip. BIGGEST first mistake of a new caravanner and the most common 1. before you do ANYTHING on site. PUT ON HAND BRAKE AND LET YOUR JOCKEY WHEEL DOWN and tighten the jockey wheel clamp. ANYTHING after that will not be a disaster. Good luck. have a lovely holiday.

Why is this? when do you use the steadies then? oh god i can see this 1st trip been a nightmare
while still hooked up to the car place ramps in front of the wheel that needs raising to get van level side to side
apply van brake lower jocky wheel & unhitch.use jockey wheel to level van front to rear Then lower steadys to ground.Do not use steadys to level van as doing this can twist the chassis
