It would definitely have been handy for us to know this beforehand too, so glad we could help! We will always now keep a spare for ‘just in case!’ Thanks for watching 😊
Welcome to the world of touring. There's a plethora of things to forget from locking cupboards to leaving the aerial up. I have a sequence to aid hitching and un-hitching but I'm easily distracted and still miss things. Thing is all about making memories and this sounds like one you won't allowed to forget for a while.
Thank you for watching and commenting 😀 one step forward and two back hahaha we ARE learning just sometimes the hard way 🙃 but we are loving the journey!
Good video. I think that cable is something that every caravaner should be able to change. Their not too hard to do and need changing if the outer is damaged! Which may not be cheap to have fitted as one off job. Talking of mistakes I've forgotten to remove both milenco wraith wheel locks (twin axle) before using quad motor mover! Lots of torque and two bend lock bodies & pins but still able to use them fortunately. Simple mistakes are easy to make even for more experienced owners. Love your honesty in the video.
Thank you for watching and commenting really appreciate it, it was a lot easier then I expected to be honest. I just hope I don’t do it again🤦🏼♂️ and ouch 😣 the thing I’m learning with Caravanning is it only takes a split second of lack of concentration and things like this can happen. We all live and learn! 🙃
Very easy mistake to make. You won’t be the first or last. A mistake I’ve nearly made more than once is to not disengage the motor mover. Luckily one of my crew has reminded me each time, as it would be a VERY expensive mistake to make. You’d think it wouldn’t happen after nearly 40 years, but, I was in a rush each time. So your right, don’t rush. 😊
@@alexrankin8263 oh wow, that would have been expensive 😬 but exactly that, we need to stop rushing so much and take our time .. even if it is awful weather 🤦🏼♂️
@ yep. I’m as guilty as the next man at rushing, even after all these years. That’s a great van you have chosen, really good value. Ours was new in 2013 and we kept it for 11 faultless years .
@@FreshfrogmarketingUk ouch 🤦🏼♂️😣 I guess we all live and learn. It only takes a second or two and it’s surprising what can happen. Thanks for watching and commenting 😀
If you don’t make mistakes you never learn👍👍
Absolutely right! That’s what we keep telling ourselves 😂
Never seen how to do this before and never thought to carry a spare, so thanks for that 👍. Off to Amazon...

Great little video. We all learn by our mistakes. My husband almost did it last year and we’re fairly experienced caravanners.
@@AmandaRogers-c6w thank you ☺️ we are learning along the way but loving the learning process… even if it is learning the hard way 🤦🏼♂️😆

Love a nice easy fix, it’s given me confidence incase it happens to me, good thinking with raising the front up to make life easier
Thanks for watching, appreciate it 😀 it was a lot easier then I thought it was going to be, I just hope I don’t do it again! 🤦🏼♂️😂
@ haha well atleast you’ve got a spare if you do 🤣
@ 😂 that’s true
2nd trip with ours, reversed under a shade tied up with rope. Ripped 2 roof vents off the van. Cost me £200 and half the weekend away to fix them!

Easy mistake, done it myself just after we had a new towbar fitted. All my own fault 😂
@@TrevorBoakes thank you for watching and commenting 😀 ohh no, well we live and learn 😂
I’m sure everyone has done that, I have the worst one was trying to drive off pitch with motor mover still on 🫣🙄
@@billhaughton6431 thank you for watching, 😀 ouch 😣 we live and learn. I just hope I don’t do it again but at least we have a spare one now.🤦🏼♂️
