Levelling with jockey wheel for long term parking

How rude!!  AndyJF seems like quite a reasonable name to me.

Keep up. AndyJF is the nice new name. He was screen name xyz123 before.

It is optional. We had a caravan for 14 years before switching to a MH and always applied the handbrake. Never had any problems with it sticking / binding. The van although used occasionally in the winter months,  was left unmoved for considerable periods.

Roger please do not accuse me of being rude.  An apology would be appreciated.

I apologise if you have taken offence at my comment.

Now that there is no sign of his original screen name it appears that you are implying that his screen name is not "nice".

I am fully aware of AndyJF's original name and I was trying to inject a light hearted comment into the post reflecting the way the post now reads to a new viewer.

 

I leave the hand brake on too, even though it's parked on a level drive & has Alko wheel locks so wouldn't roll anywhere. And a short shove backwards would collapse the shoes if the brakes did happen to stick.

An appropriate emoji, rather than double exclamation marks might have conveyed that better.

If one does choose to leave it off, then something else will be relied on to restrain movement in the wind, etc.  Doesn't matter what one uses, just remember to apply the brake before releasing the other restraint !!

Handbrake, wheel locks, motor mover do not stop a caravan moving as it can be dragged along with the wheels locked, as has been demonstrated in a number of thefts.
