I thought I'd seen some bad caravanning in my 34 years, but today I witnessed an accident waiting to happen. The couple on the next pitch decided to leave today, once packed up they moved their van out onto the road (mover) for hitching up, the jockey wheel
collapsed and the towball hit the ground. the man tried to lift it up so his wife could sort it. There was no way he could lift it, my OH was just about to go and give him a hand when 2 of the Spanish groundsman saw what happend and went to help. It took the
2 burly workers all their strength to lift the van and place some blocks of wood under the A frame so they could sort the jockey wheel. Once this had been done the couple managed to get hitched up and on their way. How much weight was loaded to the front of
the van is anyones guess.We have very high winds here today and for the next few days, I wouldn't want to be towing that very badly loaded van in these conditions.
