Hi, Could any one help please.

I have a Compass Echo 340/2 1992.

I have just pulled the van out to give it a spring clean but when I rolled it back the off side wheel rolled in reverse but it won't roll forward, any ideas?

Thanks John

Hi Tentz,

Serviced this time last year.

Tried the hammer treatment.

My garage is only round the corner so I'll try and free it up some how and just roll round and let them sort it out.

Thanks for your help.

A bit drastic but you can try hitching it up and towing it forward a few yards on a firm surface (it will just skid on grass).  This may well jerk it free.  Don't tow it too far or you may do some damage if it doesn't come away.  If this works, you will still need to have it serviced to prevent it happening again.

Don't leave the caravan with the handbrake on.  Once the steadies are down, release the handbrake.  The steadies will prevent it moving.  If left on, the handbrake may well seize.

Thanks, goodadvice.

Problem solved, the cable had  stuck in one possition over winter. All OK now, thanks for your input.
