When I was winding my back leg up the blooming thing wouldn't go up , then j decided to lie under caravan to see why not and realized it had cam out of the whole ( hope u no what I mean ) so to get home had to bungee leg up , can this be repaired ,
Thanks
The most useless new caravanner out there ( trish ) x
If the leg has come off the floor yes,you can buy a new steadie.and repair the floor if it has any damage.If the worm srew has came out the drive i think you would still have to buy a new steadie.

Has it come away from the caravan, or have you unscrewed the winder shaft from the leg.
If it has come off the floor, it can be screwed back up, but you will probably have to patch the floor up to get the screws to hold. If the winder shaft has unscrewed, it may screw back in, but there is probably something missing to stop it happening. Last time I looked, a corner steady was about £30, so not as much as you might expect.
Hi , to me it looks like some thing has come off as u lie on the floor u can see where it like screws in the hole but nothing other side of hole to keep it secured , I could not see any damage to the floor , it's like the long bolt has nothing to secure itself to ( bolt looks like 2 ft long )
I'm sorry if this sounds complicated but I'm not technically minded Lol

If its the drive bush Michael where the worm screw goes through, better to get a new leg as ive fitted a new bush and it was not worth the time and effort..

If your useing a bottle jack or any other jack put a piece of wood on it before you pump it up and make sure you dont pump it up too much as youl go through the floor..
Jeff I have had to google bottle jack as I didn't have a clue what it was , now I see what u mean , Ty , I'm having so many doubts about caravanning it's hard work for a single woman I reckon ,

Not hard once you get the hang of it. It all gets easier with practice. Get a copy of The Caravan Handbook, it explains a lot of what you need to know.
Now go get the things you need to fix it, you can google on ebay or take a photo and put it on here or in your gallery so that the guys can see exactly what is wrong and what you need to fix it.
I'm a weak little girly and have asked for help many times, and always the guys on here have helped me out! (Thanks guys!!!)
If you can't fix it yourself, you could always get a mobile engineer out, or someone nearby who knows what they are doing.
