Slowly unwinding

[DaveA1]

Has anyone got any ideas to stop my jockey wheel from slowly unwinding on a journey.
Have to stop and wind it up, but it will eventually unwind again.

If the wheel is located up in the slot and it still unwinds after doing tight ,I would use a Bungee round the handle to the hitch so that it cannot turn.

Just about to write the same, make sure the bungee doesn't slip down the winding handle.

Thanks. All the vans I've had over many years, this is the first one to do it. Very frighting first time it happened.

I have never had it. I have always after winding up tight then give it a bang with my hand to put extra pressure on.

Towing on the M6
Me: That’s Wastemaster is bumping about in the front locker.
Him: Yes, when we stop I will wedge it.

Some miles later.
It wasn’t the Wastemaster.

Just don’t do what I did as we were about to leave West Oxon for Old Oaks… all loaded up and ready to go…. Tighten the jockey wheel handle up…. Then , in true Captain Chaos style, “ *** it up until the handle snaps off in yer hand”
God bless MJ LOVELLS of Highbridge for saving the two weeks holiday… and my marriage!
Now I am only allowed to wear slip ons🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥺

Happened to me, arriving at a site. Ended up using the Milenco steps as a temporary rest for the towhitch, while we dashed off to Grantham Caravans to buy a replacement handle, and B&Q for some drill bits and stud extractors, to drill out the bit of stud still stuck in the clamp.

MJ LOVELLS were brilliant… they moved planned work out of the way so they could fix it for us…. And only charged £42.

Sam and Martin Lovell did an excellent accident bodywork repair job for me last year. Absolutely first class and highly skilled chaps👏👏

On our last caravan I did exactly like Birdman and never had one unwind yet
