Nope...must just be you

A few years back when I was looking to buy caravans I looked underneath one of them and could see that the corner steady had been pushed right through the floor. Obviously the seller had tried to level the caravan with the steadies (didn't tell me of course ).

It took me months to finally buy a decent caravan and in that time I learnt an awful lot by seeing the state of some caravans and also asking questions of the sellers.

A little while later I took the caravan to get the tyres replaced. The tyre place said to run it in and they would change them straight on the caravan. I couldn't believe it when they raised the caravan by winding the jockey wheel as high as it would go and then putting two trolley jacks under the two rear corner steadies and lifted the whole lot off the ground. My heart was in my mouth until they had replaced the tyres and lowered the caravan again. Fortunately it was a light caravan and the floor was good and strong.
