Hi, is there an easy way of lifting the van about 50 mm higher of the ground ? Maybe longer shocks or is there anything else I can do. Pulling the van out of my garage turns me off camping , the drive is very steep and the backbumper of the van scapes for about 2 metres on the garage floor.Cheers

Two and a half decades of caravaning hasn't stopped the occasional need for an answer to a newbie question. Just replaced the tow ball and put on a nice shiny chrome one. 100 ks later and a week by the sea this is what it looks like.
