Caravan RV Camping actually care about you, the customer.

• Australian Based
• Very fast to dispatch your orders
• Plus they have good competitive prices.

I give them a big thumbs up, and I will be happy to deal with them again.

I am so glad I had my Mate handy, it made changing the tire so easy.

It took me approx 1 1/2 hours all up, removing the flat tire, driving to the nearest tire center, getting a new tire fitted to the rim, returning to my trailer, and fitting it.

For those of you who have tried to use a standard car jack for your trailer or caravan, I feel your pain.

P.S. I am extremely impressed with the Trail-A-Mate. Its heavy duty steel construction gives you the confidence that it is built to last, and I thoroughly recommend it.

Two days after I made this Video above I actually got to use the Trail-A-Mate for real.
Sadly, I didn't have a good camera with me, otherwise I would have replaced this video, with a real life demo.
