I have now aquired a spare wheel of (I hope) the correct size, althought the tyre is a 165 and not a 175; I don't think this will make much difference for a short emergency tow.

To be on the safe side I decided to actually change to wheel and make sure it fit. The wheel brace from my car was slightly big and slipped around the nut. Is there a 'special size' wheel brace for a caravan?

This spare wheel lark has given me a right headache; 'll probably push the van off a cliff if I get probs with the water or heating

Hi Chalkie 56

Close but NO! However 17 years ago when West Midlands Caravans started in Jackson's yard, I bought the first 2nd hand van he sold, we have been good friends since, so when I chose to return to vanning, he did me a good deal, as he does for everyone. No I am not in his employ, I just like straight dealing.

Hi Musicmaker you dont have to answer this question, but did you get your Sprinter from Canwell Caravans? Hi again music maker the reason why I was asking as I dont think they sold many Sprinter's mine was a 350CT 5 berth (2000) and I loved it. I sold it to Canwell and for security what I do is put my name address and telephone number on laminated cards and hide them everywhere in the van. I hoped the new buyer would ring me so I could know how hes getting on with it. weird I know - ah well.
