I don't understand how you've done that.... scratches head. Is it magic?

Google "snatch block" mate they're a must have in your 4x4 recovery kit
Like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14-tonne-s...item416e86c005
In fact you should have two then you can pull yourself out backwards with only one winch

Sorry to pull this old one out Pete, but how do you do it with only two blocks, I need three? , Rick

Thumbs up Landlocked Trailer /Caravan

Okay is it going to be a Granny Flat or a summer sleep over house?

Looks too good a van to be a shed I am guessing plumbed in water & mains with possibly a sewer pipe as well ? Cheaper than moving house for an extra bedroom with ensuite.

Do not know about caravans especially twin axle but if it is anything like a car trailer then could be around 3 tonnes, Rick

It was going to be semi permanent accommodation for a guy and his Mrs with a couple of kids, but about 6 months after we sited the van they split up, so it is no longer there, Rick

Rick I can hardly remember last year let alone 6 years back
No idea what I was on that night, but yes you're right, three turning points needed.
Worst case you could use d shackle but high resistance ofcourse.
I have a rear winch which is about the same cost as three good snatch blocks
Good work again Rick
