Lowering a camper van down a steep driveway
Permalink  

Hi All....new member here......I have a reasonably steep downhill driveway and want to buy a braked winch (know where to get that) but would like to be able to attach it to a towball adaptor plate much the same as the one marked on the attached image....anyone seen these before and know where to get one?  The image is from a UK website, I live in Geelong, Victoria.

G'day and welcome to the forum. You could try Supacheap or someone like that. not sure how safe it would be. Is it not possible to reverse down? pity you are so far away there is one taking up space in my shed.
Cheers

Welcome to the gang Paul, enjoy here and out in the playground.

Have you considered one of the remote controlled 12v caravan movers. They should do the job at hand for you.

Welcome to the forum Paul there are heaps of winches for sale on eBay and like Ballast. II I also have a new remote control one unused in my garage which I purchased just prior to finding an Aussie wheel at a very good price, the Aussie wheel is an excellent product but fairly expensive well worth a look.
