Thanks Graham wish I had seen it four years ago when we bought our first caravan was a steep learning curve all the different elements of owning a caravan hope you are all well Dave🌞🌞

Good explanation of the Alko chassis Graham. I'm the same with the reversing overrun thingy, I know it works but couldn't explain how! Great vlog for newbies and experienced caravanners. Cheers Martin

H Graham. Hope all is well. I am glad you mentioned the jacking points. I feel it very important to use proper jack points/brackets otherwise you would damage the chassis. Thanks Phil.👍🙂

[iancampbell]

Great explanation and more to come but I do enjoy your other videos so please keep up the good work.

[reesmorley]

Thanks for this explanation video. I’m interested if you’ve looked into the axels on alco chassis and in particular if it’s possible to lift an English caravan to gain more ground clearance?

[seanrota]

Graham, excellent as always really informative, thanks again from NZ

[AdventureCaravanners]

Really enjoyed your vlog Graham. Spot on your explanation on the caravan chassis. 👍👍

[robswiseways]

Excellent illustrative video Graham. Good thing you mention the spare as I've been meaning to take mine off to have a look. Never touched it and we are now in the eighth year of caravaning. Very useful information. Keep safe. Rob

The reversing on an old Bailey with a BB chassis required you to pull an anti reverse pin to allow you to reverse it was a absolute nightmare every time you pulled forward to adjust you had repeat the procedure to reverse again

There we go... jockey wheel in the first minute! 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Michelle and Andy 👏👍😉

To make life easier with the twin axle caravan for leveling and fitting the Alko locks, take a look at Lock and Level - it's an airbag system. We have the single axle version because we own a single axle caravan, the dual axle version lets you raise the caravan on one axle leaving the other in the air so you can move the wheel to the right position and insert the lock, then you take the weight with the second airbag. I am not connected to the company, just a happy customer.

Enjoyed the explanation and yes please for more of this "stuff"

[michaelmcleary]

Very interesting technical stuff regarding the chassis, it's good to have an understanding of what's going on underneath. Perhaps a mini series of technical stuff regarding aspects of different types of UK caravan manufacture on whatgoes on above. I can see it being more educational than the info manufacturers give as that's full of marketing propaganda! "Only our caravans are bonded with the finest silk laden epoxy metalised resins impregnated with a special blend of meteor and asteroid particles that are only grown in our laboratories."
