I recently purchased a 1997 Avondale Mayfly, fitted with the old type lift handle and blade type stabiliser. On taking it for its first run today i noted that the blade kept popping out of its position on the caravan towing bracket. Is this likely because i fitted it wrongly- although i can't see where i went wrong. Should i decide to swap the towing hitch to an Alko type to get rid of this issue, what is the best type for a 2 berth Mayfly? is it worth the costs swapping? Advice welcome. Thanks'. Mark

    When we had the blade type stabiliser it needed to be under tension on the bracket otherwise it at times pop out of the caravan A frame mounted bracket 

    I think most caravans fitted with the alko hitch head are the same with a 100kg max nose weight limit
