If your caravan is pointing in the right direction mounting it on the jockey wheel saves carting a tripod.
Unfortunately that is not always possible.

Hi Slates,

We bought our tripod from Canwell, he makes them himself and they're only £20, the only adjustment we made to it was to drill a small hole in each foot to knock a peg through in case it's windy but never needed to so far.
