Remote Control Retrofitted to Corner Steadies

dmowat · Newbie

Hi,
I have a new product that I invented last year and just released it at this years Melbourne Caravan and Camping Supershow.

Just about everyone with a caravan or camper trailer can use the Autosteady. It's a 12V remote-controlled system that attaches to your current wind-down or drop down corner steadies. No more kneeling down in wet grass and working up a sweat winding them down, bad backs or knees no problems: just push a button and watch your corner steadies wind into position. It is as simple as pushing the ALL down button on arrival to the site and when you are ready to leave you push the ALL up button, each leg is controlled individually by a microprocessor so you don't have to be on a perfectly flat surface. Just as long as the Van is level.

I don't mind this at all...How else do I find out about these things..I don't go too every Caravan and Camping show going around....Having said that..I find it far to expensive

Trouble is you still have to go around and tighten the steadies/jacks with the brace before moving off.

The sell price can get you a long way if spent on fuel.

I've motorised mine, probably like a lot of others.

It's called a battery drill.....

I'm pretty sure the administrator will remove this advert as soon as he, or she, comes online.

The darling man thinks we may be stupid enough to pay $795 to admit been that lazy

Darlings may be a dimwit or should that be dmowat but not chucking cash away on something we should do manually. Darlings if you dont use your arms and legs you lose them.

After buying these you will have already lost one of each!

In fairness there may well be a market for people who do have difficulties with these tasks. I know of caravanners who have difficulty raising pop tops due to injury or arthritis.

Concept is great but the old cordless drill does me just fine. To avoid kneeling down on the wet grass I plan when I have time to extend the worm drive out to the edge of the van where I can get at

I have these on my van - bad knees and an ankle replacement make getting up and down difficult at times and to reach the rear legs I almost had to lay down. Now all I do is press a few buttons.

By the way Jacko, the "darling man" whose name is Dean is a nice man with a very nice wife and family, all were very helpful.

Also, I wouldn't call myself a dimwit or lazy or stupid (just in case you want to throw in another insult) and how I spend my money is my business - I earned it and can spend it how I want.

How are they going? Are they working ok?

They were (see my shake down trip posts) until the battery went flat - when my father changed some of the wiring he didn't turn the charger back on, so the battery went flat and the legs won't work without battery power. Had them taken off so I could move.

But until the battery went flat they were working really well.

I have friends that bought a Jayco Sterling (new) and had a similar "problem" with the battery charger. The battery is also charged from the car while on the move. They did a couple of shake-downs with problems with the 12v lighting in the van. They then travelled to NQ and it wasn't until after a week they lost lights. I went fault finding with trusty multimeter and was puzzled why the battery had gone flat (I wasn't familiar with the set-up). I eventually found a power point well hidden in the back of a cupboard that hadn't ever been switched on!
