Yesterday I took my caravan to the dealer to have a repair on the grill. A bolt or nut had come undone allowing the front of the grill burner assembly to drop. It meant removing the oven and so not a job for me - done under warranty.

 

I towed the van abut 35 miles there and back. Unhitched from the car with motormover engaged. Spun the caravan across the narrow road fronting our property and got the caravan half way in when the battery ran out of steam. Just as I was thinking 'hmm, now
what do I do?' my mobile rang and it was Phantom Tracker telling me that my battery was flat! I knew that  :)

 

Then the good news. I was thinking do I take the battery off one of the cars or can the chap fitting air horns to my neighbours car give me a hand and perhaps, between the two of us we can get it up the dropped kerb and sloped footway? The chap is a car
electrics/electronics engineer and shouts across 'Hang on I will get my power pack out of my car. Sorted clipped onto my battery terminals and he walked alongside whilst the mover did its job. :D
