OK, yes, you did read that right!! I'd add on soft grass.
Short of time from the start for one reason or another, and angry at the time wasted on someone else's mistake and poor admin around the matter from the site owner, I had to move our caravan at the storage depot today from a temporary spot tight against a tree after someone mistakenly or selfishy, who knows, 'pinched' our bay yesterday and in my tired angry haste - also requring me to reverse if you ever did through a busy storage site on my own - I stupidly forgot to undo the Alko wheel lock!!
The car was struggling a bit but I thought it was just because I was reversing + over rough grass and I just wasn't thinking straight!
Anyhow, in the event, all it appears to have done is dug a slight trough over about 100' of muddy grass. The wheel lock came off very easily once I realised my mistake, so nothing obviously distorted and jammed on that score, but anyone know how robustly these things ... and the 'van axle, are mounted?
Do I drive it and see how it goes, or jack it and inspect something or other myself, take it somewhere (almost self-defeating, as if get there, then self-evidently little or no damage done), or what ...?
Maybe others do it all the time and laugh it off ?!?!
