Dave We apply the caravan handbrake and then let the car pull forward on idling revs. Works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsman1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 At home as the drive slopes towards the house, after stopping I engage the motor movers and just pull the caravan back a little. Works every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondchaser Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have a lovely chrome effect bumper protector fitted which really sets off against the black car. Used to fit the black ones but found they rusted after a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what we do Turts, works a treat and cheap too, circa £1. 50 at Aldi Les Quote Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADG Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 the same for us - can't have a "lovely chrome effect" protector as we've got a detachable tow bar - we've made a cut-out in the bottom of our kneeling pad - and it slips on, and stays put on the tow bar Quote Al.
