For those who have not worked this out, raise the jockey wheel to put the front steadies away and lower the jockey wheel to do the back ones. It takes the weight and strain off and makes the drilling easier.

With my van I would load the rear steadies if raise the jockey wheel's lift, and unload the van's axle.
That does not seem a wise modus operandi IMO.
However, I do when the front steadies are lifted lower the jockey wheels lift. To help improve rear steady access as much as anything.
Long left the drill at home and use the handle, its lighter, its more reliable and less clutter. Collecting more and more clutter seems to come with caravanning.

Shoes with holes, mate. Worst invention ever - especially for outdoors. Enough holes for bits of gravel/grit to get in (and the tiniest bit of grit always feels like half a brick), but not enough holes for it to quickly depart again. eg flip flops. So its trainers (rarely any grit) or flip flops (easy in, easy out again)- one or the other!
I have been wearing Crocs for many years, even in winter with SealSkinz waterproof socks as wet and cold soggy feet are not nice!
I even wear the older ones around the house as house shoes.
Can't get on with flip flops, only wear them to the showers in the past, now I just wear Crocs.
I have about 8 new pairs at home, built up every time they go on sale, as I don't want to run out!
