Morning all, Until yesterday I last towed my caravan at the end of November at which time everything was fine and all working as it should, having now found a storage site I came to take it to said storage and there was a problem, the hitch dropped on to the ball perfectly but then I discovered the alko damper was playing up, the wheel that is meant to be turned until it clicks was really difficult to turn in the on direction and impossible to turn in the off direction, secondly the lever that you press down to lock it on was for want of a better expression limp! It just seems to be loose, loose doesn't really describe what I mean though, it's more as you operate the lever up and down there is no friction, the way I understand this works is when you turn the wheel till it clicks this is tightening the internal pads on to the towball then when you push the lever down that then gives it the required amount of pressure on to the ball, so as its now in storage and intend going away in May I need to sort it so any info and advice much appreciated before I start dismantling it blindly.
