I must be missing out on something here, I've never had a stabiliser or a van or trailer with one fitted.

I've never needed special length unpainted towballs either.

I need to join the club! :)

Must be a secret handshake or something....

Well Peter this is my first caravan and therefore my first stabiliser, so I read up on it and there were stories of brakes locking on and all sorts hence why I joined this site to see what the score was. My normal trail don't have one, nor does any other trailer in my family so it's a bit of an unknown subject in my family

It was a bit tongue in cheek as you probably guessed, but it seems to be getting over-complex to me, although I am all for safety improvements.

Yea I did get your drift, I had no idea it was this complex I'm all for safety also however I've read reviews of wheels locking up and computer diagnostics on the hitch and started thinking what have I gotten into here, I just wanted something more comfy than my tent lol

When connecting up to the cars electric you will hear the ATC engaging itself.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
