I have always had an ALKO chassis, so am new to the BPW chassis on my Elddis Avante 462. I have notice that after aprox 10K miles, both tyres are wearing on the outside edge. I have been caravanning with similar size caravans for 30+ years, and have never come across this before. Any comments?

I recently changed my car from a Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer to a Jeep Compass. However I now find that the height of the tow bar on new car makes it difficult to hitch caravan. When I try to raise Jockey wheel so that I can attach to tow bar I find that I seem to have a problem because I can’t raise it high enough…
I am at a crossroads... My Mitsubishi Outlander is almost 3 years old and I am considering either replacing it with another (it's a diesel automatic) Or changing to another make. According to the matching service its a less than perfect match for my new Swift Conqueror which is 1430 kg MTPLM however I have just completed…
