While picking my caravan from yourkshire coast caravans last Thurs, I cliped my breakaway cable with the heavy type clip to the hole for this, they said that I should put it around the towball, 1;  that is NOT what the towbar fitters tell you 2; if your coupling does part their is nothing to stop the cable jumping off 3; if the bolts that hold your towball in plase come lose your breakaway cable wont do its  job as it is NO longer attatched to the car 3; I believe some other countrys you will be prossicuted for putting it around the ball

    I too have reported your post, Dakota. Why do you think you don't need to follow the T&Cs?

    Dakota, could I suggest you read the information about posting section? You are so out of order in a number of ways.

    The other is equally offensive, One. I've reported both. Let's hope a ban ensues.

    Agree with the above. Totally out of order Dakota, what were you thinking of, especially as Jill had been good enough to point you to the link to the thread which is already running. Totally unnecessary to post what you have.

    Geez, we got us an intimidating bullying Troll who uses threats on an open forum. I'm with Dave, we don't do that in East Yorkshire please don't think we do. I doubt we'll be seeing much of Him soon. That is not acceptable.

    Rocky, I'm sure we all know that the vast majority of East Yorks folk are well mannered and pleasant. One unpleasant person doesn't reflect on you all.

    Another report put in here too. I'd get your anger management issues addressed Dakota.

    I will start this again, and jillwithajay if you close it I will kick your arse, I put this to get coments from outhers

    While picking my caravan from yourkshire coast caravans last Thurs, I cliped my breakaway cable with the heavy type clip to the hole for this, they said that I should put it around the towball, 1;  that is NOT what the towbar fitters tell you 2; if your
    coupling does part their is nothing to stop the cable jumping off 3; if the bolts that hold your towball in plase come lose your breakaway cable wont do its  job as it is NO longer attatched to the car 3; I believe some other countrys you will be prossicuted
    for putting it around the ball

    It appears your rudeness has had exactly the opposite effect that you intended. None of the posts to now have answered your question which is valid. I too am reporting your post. This forum is usually used by those who politely ask questions and usually
    get polite answers.

    Good Heavens, Dakota, no need to be so unpleasant, it rarely achieves anything.

    You all look so nice on your profile picture, too......

    (I've reported it, too.)

    Totally out of order and offensive, a full apology should be offered to JWJ. Also reported.

    With apologies to the other posters but, as this thread has become a topic other than that originally intended, I'm closing it, having already reported the OP.
