Always good to see updates👍 Wire wheel on a drill is great way to clean towball. You're not supposed to grease them too. Extendable brush with hose link are superb for caravan roof and sides. 👍
Hello Nick, nice to hear from you again. Yea, wire wheels are awesome for cleaning up tow balls. Unfortunately, I didn't have one! Our hitch is a wet hitch - there's no friction pads in mine, unlike the Alko hitches that do. Cleaning caravans is a nightmare! I absolutely hate doing it, which is how it became so bad!!! 🤣
Thanks, Jess. So lovely to hear from you. We're still hoping to get down to visit you soon, but life keeps on getting in the way. However, I have finished work now, which means one less thing to organise our life around. We are definitely down your way in 30th June to 2nd July, as we're exhibiting at the Devon County Show. Would be awesome to nip over and see you!
Hi Victor, our hitch is a wet hitch, meaning that grease is required. It's old fashioned tech now. The modern-style, Alko hitches should never be greased, as they contain friction pads that grip the tow ball to help with stabilisation in the event of snaking. Ours has zero stabilisation support! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Nice update folks, caravan is looking good, all ready for new adventures. 👍
Thanks, Brian! It's starting to look good again - it was looking sorry for itself before! :)
