My 1969 Millard caravan

Thanks for the info. I have actually wired in new trailer 7 core wire and plug (seeing the draw bar is also new) all the way back into the van where the original wiring begins. So I know its not that, I checked dozens of times. So next is earth, and good point bacicat that ill check exactly how its earthed to begin with. there is a white wire which feeds to the negative on the battery, so its there.

Ill check this weekend and report back

I decided to look at it tonight, and I gotta say, you guys are awesome. Yes it was an earth issue and secondly it is earthed on the cladding. So a good clean up of the cladding, the light unit and new screws (old ones were rusty) and presto, problem solved.

What a relief, thanks to you all

Great news.

Now the money can go towards something else in the van

Never ending, an old man in the caravan park in Moore Park Beach said that he was sure that boats and caravans are female

I bought 4 stabiliser legs like these ones

They are super beefy, 6kg each rated at 1000lbs. Has anyone put these on their caravan? They over the top for the Millard but may as well use them.

What length are those ones? I will be doing the same thing on mine, but I'm struggling to find the right length. I want to mount mine under the main chassis rails, but they are only 380mm off the ground and the shortest ones I can find are 400mm.

**Cap** · 18th March 2015, 11:58 AM

These are 400mm high, the van is just 410mm but these fold also so in your case you could still use them but wont sit straight. Mind you, on uneven surfaces mine will be a combo of straight, extended and folded in an angle.

They are 400 but that it is not important because you never use the vertical and they have many angle settings.

Thanks for that. although they can be used at an angle, I'm just not sure how they will go on uneven ground and I wouldn't be able to fold the outwards from where they would have to mount, only inwards. Not sure if I would get them out far enough to be of any assistance. They would probably be fine, but if I could find a set just a bit shorter, I'd be happier.
