Just completed the tasks that need doing on the caravan...
Turning the tyres around (now I really miss my campervan) and checking the leisure battery is ok.
Marked where the tyres were touching the ground with a piece of chalk, then jacked up by the corner steadies until the tyres were just off the ground, so I could turn them. then jacked back down again onto a different bit of tyre.... Not as easy as it sounds!
The leisure battery was still showing nearly fully charged so I've disconnected it once more will check again in a couple more months.
First had to battle to get underneath the cover.... what a performance! And then doing it all up again afterwards.
The jockey wheel was flat as a pancake (I have a blow-up one because of the drive surface) so I've just pulled that up off the ground. Pity I didn't think to do that in the first place, I've a feeling I'm going to need new one.
It's very very flat and probably has been like that since winter came. Still, I'll blow it up before I need to use it, and see if it will recover!
All done, while the weather was a bit milder!
