In the latest CC magazine ther is a letter about torquing up the wheels on the caravan before setting off.  Apparently the writer started off on a journey and the wheel fell off.  Caravan had been for a service 2 months previous.  Why does this happen to
caravans and not cars?

For some of us to go around re-torquing is physically difficult.  Plus if you use a budget tool, you may casue damage anyway.  Apparently these torque tools need to be re-calibrated at least once a year at a cost?

How many people on this forum torque their wheels before every trip?
