Thanks for sharing, it really helps a lot to learn the chassis as a beginner :)
Good explanation of how to use your Alko Chassis without causing damage, nice one Graham
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Graham
Good explanation of the Alko chassis Graham. I'm the same with the reversing overrun thingy, I know it works but couldn't explain how! Great vlog for newbies and experienced caravanners. Cheers Martin
Thanks for watching Martin. I did read up on the reserving thing but instantly forgot and it's a vlog that could have easily been 30 minutes! Graham
Thanks Graham good video . ( almost as riveting as the jockey wheel video ) ha ha only jesting . Keep them coming. 🚐👍
I know, it's a hidden talent of mine, making chassis vlogs interesting. Maybe I'll look at Lorry and coach chassis next? Thanks for watching! Graham
Great video. Keep it up.
Thanks Graham wish I had seen it four years ago when we bought our first caravan was a steep learning curve all the different elements of owning a caravan hope you are all well Dave🌞🌞
Thanks for watching Dave. You're right it is a steep learning curve, there's a lot to know and to do when caravanning. Graham
Really enjoyed your vlog Graham. Spot on your explanation on the caravan chassis. 👍👍
Excellent illustrative video Graham. Good thing you mention the spare as I've been meaning to take mine off to have a look. Never touched it and we are now in the eighth year of caravaning. Very useful information. Keep safe. Rob
There we go... jockey wheel in the first minute! 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Michelle and Andy 👏👍😉
Extreme Motorhoming Adventures Well spotted, no mention of France though 🥱Thanks for watching
Graham, excellent as always really informative, thanks again from NZ
Extremely useful. Thanks Graham
Enjoyed the explanation and yes please for more of this "stuff"
Nice one 👍. We obtained a levelling jack kit, comes with a handy jack point attachment for each side. Easy to fit as the Alko chassis has all the pre drilled holes. Good background information in this video.
Nice one Graham. Good balance of stuff, not too much information to stew the brain, but enough to pique interest, thank you... 👍🏻
Stay safe matey, Rog... 👍🏻😉🐍
Very useful and very interesting. Thanks for sharing Graham. Stay safe Stuart.
Thanks for watching Stuart. Glad it was of use. Hope you're all staying safe and well. Graham
H Graham. Hope all is well. I am glad you mentioned the jacking points. I feel it very important to use proper jack points/brackets otherwise you would damage the chassis. Thanks Phil.👍🙂
Thanks for watching Phil. Yes, jacking points have always been a worry for me. I think it'd be quite easy to damage the chassis by placing a trolley jack in the wrong place. Thanks for watching. Graham
Great explanation and more to come but I do enjoy your other videos so please keep up the good work.
Fantastic video Graham. Well explained keep them coming mate. 😎👍
Thanks for watching and the feedback Paul. 👍
To make life easier with the twin axle caravan for leveling and fitting the Alko locks, take a look at Lock and Level - it's an airbag system. We have the single axle version because we own a single axle caravan, the dual axle version lets you raise the caravan on one axle leaving the other in the air so you can move the wheel to the right position and insert the lock, then you take the weight with the second airbag. I am not connected to the company, just a happy customer.
I need educating, thanks Graham 👍😷
Very interesting technical stuff regarding the chassis, it's good to have an understanding of what's going on underneath. Perhaps a mini series of technical stuff regarding aspects of different types of UK caravan manufacture on whatgoes on above. I can see it being more educational than the info manufacturers give as that's full of marketing propaganda! "Only our caravans are bonded with the finest silk laden epoxy metalised resins impregnated with a special blend of meteor and asteroid particles that are only grown in our laboratories."
Very useful and helpful video. I just join your channel. Stay connected.
Useful video, thanks!
Glad you mentioned the breakaway cable at the end. I came across the video below recently which explained the confusion about breakaway cables with carabiners, and those pre 2018/19 caravans like mine which tended to have spring clips.
There is an issue at present in that new towbars like mine (fitted 2019) are designed for new style carabiner direct attachment to the tow hitch, and do not have a large hole through which to thread the breakaway cable, which should then be attached in a loop back onto itself using the spring clip.
However, any caravan older than 2018 is likely to have a spring clip.
Apparently spring clips are not strong enough for direct attachment to the tow hitch.
So I and many others need to default to the less safe option of looping the cable round the toward and back on itself, with the slight possibility that both cable and tow hitch will separate form the caravan at the same time during an incident.
I'm not entirely comfortable with this, and I'm going to get my old style spring clip breakaway cable replaced with a new carabiner style one at the next service in the Autumn:

Thanks for the comment, very interesting. Ours does have the carabiner and I clip it in the whole which is part of the tow bar assembly. Interesting point. Graham
Nice one a bit of hi tech there Graham good points made I wonder what motor home vlogger got to say about that .kev
Excellent informative video there Graham. I like the graphics, just with my editing software was a bit better. Maybe I just don't know how to use it properly lol. Cheers... Ian
Found this really interesting, keep them coming Graham! How long before the bitter and twisted MotorhomeVlogger gives his venomous response 🙂 Take care you two!
Very informative, but did you mention about twin axle's needing 4 motor movers😂 Mark
The reversing on an old Bailey with a BB chassis required you to pull an anti reverse pin to allow you to reverse it was a absolute nightmare every time you pulled forward to adjust you had repeat the procedure to reverse again
Les Brewster Thanks for watching. That sounds like a nightmare. Thankfully things have progressed 👍🏻Graham
Thanks for this explanation video. I’m interested if you’ve looked into the axels on alco chassis and in particular if it’s possible to lift an English caravan to gain more ground clearance?
Thanks for watching. Not seen any done in the UK. I’ve seen Bailey caravans in Australia with them raised, also caravans like Jayco
@@CaravanVlogger Thanks
I'm surprised there is no support for the floor on the chassis. How thick is the ply flooring in caravans?
Hi, do you know what the load rating on the tung is?
Where can we get Al ko wherl hubs and front support jack wheel.we are in middle east
anyone know of a video showing elongation of a trailer?
More education please hehehe
